Windows
We manufacture bespoke timber windows in vertical sliding sash, flush casement, and storm-proof designs. Using engineered redwood, hardwood, and oak, our windows combine durability with aesthetic appeal. Each product is made-to-measure, available in painted or stained finishes, and designed to meet exact project specifications while ensuring energy efficiency and longevity.
Doors
Our made-to-measure timber doors include bi-fold, French, and single door sets. Crafted from high-quality materials, they offer security, insulation, and visual appeal. Designed for seamless integration with existing architecture, these doors are available in custom finishes and configurations to suit both traditional and contemporary properties across East Anglia.
Conservatories
Timbercraft creates custom conservatories that blend timber craftsmanship with glass architecture. These structures provide additional living space with maximum natural light, available in traditional or modern designs. Each conservatory is tailored to client specifications, ensuring durability, thermal efficiency, and seamless integration with the home's existing structure.
Roof Lanterns
Our roof lanterns enhance natural light in flat-roofed spaces using slimline aluminium frames and energy-efficient glazing. Available in double or triple-glazed options with vented or unvented configurations, they combine aesthetic appeal with practical benefits like thermal insulation and controlled sunlight exposure, ideal for modern home extensions.
Fitting Service
We provide professional installation for all bespoke windows, doors, and conservatories. Our experienced team ensures precise fitting, maintaining the integrity of each product while achieving a seamless finish.
