Services
Bespoke Solid Wood Windows
Crafted in Devon using sustainably sourced hardwoods and softwoods, our bespoke windows include flush casement, sash, and stormproof styles. Designed for heritage and modern properties, they feature energy-efficient glazing options and comply with Part Q security standards. Each window is factory-finished for durability and tailored to match existing architectural details.
Handmade Wooden Doors
From grand entrance doors to stable and bi-fold designs, our doors are made from oak, Accoya, and other premium timbers. Available with draught seals, multi-point locks, and double-glazing options, they combine aesthetic appeal with thermal efficiency. We replicate historic designs or create contemporary pieces to suit client specifications.
Custom Wood Staircases
We design and build curved, winder, and straight staircases tailored to building regulations and client preferences. Constructed from oak, maple, or MDF, they feature options like glass balustrades or traditional spindles. Supply-and-fit services ensure seamless installation, while supply-only options cater to experienced contractors.
Heritage Joinery Repairs
Specialising in period properties, we repair and refurbish historic windows, doors, and joinery using traditional techniques. Our team replicates original profiles and sources reclaimed glass to maintain authenticity. This service extends the lifespan of existing features while preserving historical integrity.
Fineo Slim Glazing
Fineo glazing offers ultra-slim, vacuum-insulated glass units that enhance thermal efficiency without altering traditional window proportions. Ideal for listed buildings, it achieves a U-value of 0.7 W/mK, reducing heat loss while maintaining aesthetic heritage. We advise on retrofitting options for period homes.
