Windows
We supply and install bespoke timber and UPVC windows tailored to traditional or contemporary properties. Our high-performance casement, sliding sash, and shaped windows use premium materials for durability and weather resistance. Each design incorporates traditional craftsmanship with modern insulation technology to enhance energy efficiency while maintaining aesthetic appeal for period and new-build homes.
Doors & Porches
Our custom doors include hardwood and softwood options for external and internal applications, from stable and bi-fold designs to composite styles. Traditional manufacturing methods ensure security and longevity, while porch installations combine boarded, panelled, or glass elements to complement architectural styles. We replicate historical designs or create modern alternatives to match client specifications precisely.
Garden Buildings
We design and build insulated garden offices, sheds, and garages tailored to client briefs. Using apex or hip roof designs with slate, tile, or felt finishes, our structures balance functionality with aesthetic appeal. Bespoke dimensions and materials ensure seamless integration with outdoor spaces, serving as workspaces, hobby rooms, or storage solutions.
Roof Trusses
Custom-engineered roof trusses provide structural support for residential and commercial projects. Made to measure in our workshop, these traditional-style frameworks accommodate any roof shape, pitch, or dimension. Ideal for extensions and new builds, they combine medieval-era strength with modern precision for reliable, long-lasting installations.
Luxury Furniture
As Crown Imperial retailers, we offer bespoke bedroom and office storage solutions. Our design service tailors cabinetry, wardrobes, and shelving to client preferences, blending contemporary and classic styles. Features include custom colours, internal drawers, and space-maximising layouts, ensuring functional yet elegant furniture that enhances home organisation and aesthetics.

Fantastic quality bespoke accoya project for our kitchen entrance. Great craftmanship, brilliant people managing design&build and installing the end result. Was made welcome in the workshop during the construction - they are totally transparent and only happy when the job is a complete success.
