Custom Doors
At Cavendish & Cole, we create bespoke timber custom doors that make a statement—designed to reflect the character of your property, stand up to daily use, and deliver long-lasting beauty.
Handcrafted entrances with timeless appeal
Whether you’re restoring a Victorian front door, adding a grand Georgian entrance, or crafting something entirely unique, our custom doors are built with care in our Sussex joinery workshop and installed across Kent, Surrey, and Sussex.
Made to Measure. Made to Last.
Every door we produce is tailored to your exact requirements, using traditional techniques and sustainably sourced hardwoods or Accoya. We specialise in working with period homes, listed properties, and conservation areas where authenticity and detail matter.
We offer:
- Front entrance doors – panelled, glazed or solid
- French doors – full-height glazed or with bespoke mouldings
- Stable doors – ideal for country homes and cottages
- Internal feature doors – for hallways, kitchens, and utility spaces
- Arched or shaped doors – made to match heritage openings
- Options for heritage ironmongery, detailed panelling, and decorative glass
Traditional Craftsmanship Meets Modern Performance
Our doors are made using mortice and tenon joinery, traditional mouldings, and hand-applied finishes. But behind the classic appearance lies impressive performance:
- Excellent thermal insulation – using quality timbers and double glazing where suitable
- Superior weather resistance – with protective coatings and durable seals
- Enhanced security – multipoint locking and solid ironmongery
- Low maintenance – especially with Accoya timber
- Bespoke paint or stain finishes – including heritage colour matching
We ensure your door doesn’t just look the part—it performs flawlessly for years to come.
Ideal for Period Homes & Listed Buildings
We work closely with homeowners, architects, and conservation officers to deliver heritage-friendly door replacements that meet strict planning guidelines.
- Exact replication of original panel layouts and profiles
- Use of approved timbers and glazing materials
- Specialist glazing options including Slimlite, obscured, or decorative patterned glass
- Advice and support with planning permission applications if required
Whether replacing a decayed original or designing a historically accurate new entrance, we’ll ensure every detail is in keeping with your home’s period and setting.

Additional Services
At Cavendish & Cole, we don’t just restore sash windows—we enhance them with beautifully crafted wooden shutters, designed and made to order in our Sussex joinery workshop. Combining classic style with practical comfort, our bespoke timber shutters are a timeless addition to any Georgian, Victorian, or Edwardian property.
Every property is unique—especially period homes. That’s why at Cavendish & Cole, we specialise in designing and manufacturing custom timber windows that match your style, suit your space, and respect your home’s architectural history.
There’s a reason oak has been used in British joinery for centuries. It’s strong, stable, and full of character—and at Cavendish & Cole, we craft bespoke oak windows that reflect the very best of traditional craftsmanship and timeless design.
At Cavendish & Cole, we believe great design lives in the details. That’s why we supply and install a carefully curated range of traditional window hardware, designed to complement your timber sash and casement windows in both form and function.
At Cavendish & Cole, we take pride in creating timber sash windows and doors that combine heritage design with cutting-edge performance. That’s why we recommend and work extensively with Accoya® timber—a revolutionary wood that’s perfect for both traditional and contemporary joinery.
At Cavendish & Cole, we create bespoke timber doors that make a statement—designed to reflect the character of your property, stand up to daily use, and deliver long-lasting beauty.
At Cavendish & Cole, we understand that in period architecture, it’s the details that make all the difference. That’s why we offer a specialist custom timber moulding service—handcrafting architraves, trims, sills, glazing beads, and decorative profiles to suit the age, style, and character of your home.
At Cavendish & Cole, we know a beautiful window or door is only as good as its finish. That’s why we offer a premium workshop painted finish service for all our timber sash windows, casements, shutters, and doors—applied in a controlled environment using industry-leading materials and traditional care.
