Custom Timber Mouldings
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.
Authentic details, handcrafted to match your home
Whether you’re restoring a listed property, replicating lost joinery, or completing a new extension with heritage features, our team produces bespoke timber mouldings with precision, passion, and respect for the original design.
Period-Perfect Joinery Details
Working from original samples, technical drawings, or historic references, we create made-to-match timber mouldings that blend seamlessly with existing architecture. Our in-house team can reproduce or adapt:
- Sash window beading and staff beads
- Casement mouldings and glazing bars
- Interior and exterior architraves
- Window boards and sills
- Door linings, surrounds, and plinth blocks
- Cornices and picture rails (on request)
Using traditional joinery techniques, our mouldings are cut, shaped, and finished by hand in our Sussex workshop, using sustainably sourced hardwoods, softwoods, or Accoya.
Ideal for Listed Buildings & Conservation Projects
We regularly collaborate with conservation officers, architects, and property owners to produce mouldings suitable for:
- Grade I and II listed buildings
- Homes in conservation areas
- Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian-era restorations
- Churches, civic buildings, and heritage projects
Where needed, we’ll match historic moulding profiles down to the finest detail, and advise on materials and finishes that comply with English Heritage and local planning requirements.
Our Process: Precision and Authenticity
Whether you need one length of trim or an entire house-worth of decorative joinery, we follow the same thorough process:
- Consultation & Survey – Site visit or sample review
- Profile Matching – Using sample mouldings or technical drawings
- Material Selection – Accoya, oak, hardwood, or softwood options
- Custom Milling & Hand Finishing – Traditional methods in our joinery workshop
- Optional Painting or Priming – With breathable, heritage-approved finishes
- Installation or Supply Only – Installed by our team or delivered ready for use
Perfectly Paired With Our Joinery Services
Our custom mouldings are often commissioned alongside:
- Sash window restoration or replacement
- Custom timber doors and shutters
- Box frames, sills, and architrave renewal
- New heritage-style extensions and interiors
Whatever the project, our aim is to preserve the architectural language of your home, down to the last chamfer, groove, or beaded edge.
