Bespoke Timber Doors in Cornwall – Made by Wood.ED Joinery
A front door is one of the most important parts of a property. It affects security, insulation and the first impression your home makes.
At Wood.ED Joinery, we design and manufacture bespoke timber doors that are built specifically for each property, combining traditional joinery techniques with modern performance standards.
Why choose a timber door?
A well-made timber door offers a level of detail and character that mass-produced doors cannot replicate. It can be fully customised in terms of size, design, glazing and finish, allowing it to suit both modern and period properties.
Unlike composite alternatives, timber doors can also be repaired and refinished over time rather than replaced entirely.

Traditional panelled front doors

Designed for Cornish homes
Cornwall’s coastal environment places extra demands on external doors. Salt air, moisture and wind exposure can accelerate wear if materials are not correctly selected.
We help clients choose appropriate timber and finishes depending on exposure, ensuring the door performs well over time.
Security and performance
Modern timber doors can achieve strong levels of security when built with correct construction methods and hardware. We use quality locks, reinforced frames where required, and solid joinery techniques to ensure structural strength.
Thermal performance is also improved through insulated cores, quality seals and precise fitting.
Heritage and restoration work
For listed and period properties, we can replicate traditional door designs, including mouldings, glazing patterns and proportions. This allows replacement doors to maintain the character of the building while improving performance discreetly where permitted.
Our approach
Every door is built through a structured process:
-
Site measurements
-
Design and specification
-
Timber selection
-
Workshop manufacture
-
Finishing and installation
We focus on accuracy at the beginning to avoid issues later in installation.
