50 Miles for 50 Years: Celebrating Our Journey and Investing in Joinery’s Future
This year, we proudly celebrate 50 years in the joinery industry — five decades of craftsmanship, dedication, and...
At Salisbury Joinery, we specialise in manufacturing bespoke timber windows and doors for refurbishment and restoration projects. Whether you're working on a listed building or a period-style property, we collaborate with you to deliver high-quality, handcrafted joinery that fits seamlessly into traditional and heritage settings.
We don’t repair or retrofit—we create entirely new, custom-made joinery that honours the character of the original architecture while meeting modern performance standards.
At Salisbury Joinery, we know that refurbishment, heritage, and listed building projects demand precision, sensitivity, and collaboration. That’s why we work closely with architects, contractors, and developers from the outset to ensure our bespoke windows and doors meet both design intent and conservation requirements.
Whether you’re working from drawings, site surveys, or existing examples, we ensure the joinery fits seamlessly into the building’s character—ready for straightforward installation on site.
We’re here to bring your vision to life with precision-made joinery that complements your design intent and satisfies conservation requirements. Our team can advise on profiles, glazing, hardware options, and timber finishes to meet both performance and aesthetic goals.
We manufacture new windows and doors to exacting standards, supplied fully assembled and ready for installation. With decades of experience in refurbishment projects, we understand the site challenges that can arise and aim to make fitting as smooth and efficient as possible.
If you're overseeing a heritage redevelopment or upgrading a period property, we’ll help you achieve a finish that respects the original fabric of the building—while delivering joinery that meets today’s expectations for quality and durability.
Our specialist team is ready and waiting to help make your project a success. We will collaborate with you throughout the design and construction phases, and with 50 years experience, you know you’re in good hands. Our services including design, estimating and surveying, and we typically provide multiple joinery packages per project.
We create timber windows in a wide range of traditional styles, always made to order to suit the unique requirements of each property.
Sash Windows: Choose between traditional cords and weights or spiral balance systems. We match historic glazing bars, horn details, and frame proportions for an authentic appearance.
Casement Windows: Available in a flush design, crafted to replicate period detailing while providing robust performance.
Glazing Options: We offer slimline double glazing where permitted by conservation regulations, or traditional single glazing for authenticity in listed buildings.
Our bespoke timber doors are designed to suit a range of traditional and heritage settings, with options tailored to your property type, planning requirements, and overall project goals. We offer two key specifications:
Conservation Doors
Ideal for period homes, properties within Conservation Areas, or traditionally styled new builds. These doors feature slimline double glazing and can be customised with fanlights and sidelights to suit the architectural style.
Heritage Doors
Crafted for listed buildings or projects with strict planning conditions, our Heritage doors are designed to replicate the appearance of original joinery. They are supplied with single glazing and solid glazing bars for an authentic, historically accurate finish.
At Salisbury Joinery, we understand that the success of any refurbishment or heritage project relies on attention to detail, collaboration, and reliable support. That's why we offer comprehensive assistance throughout every stage of the process—from the initial design phase all the way to the installation. Here’s how we ensure your project runs smoothly and meets all your requirements:
Our team of experts is always on hand to provide guidance and advice on all technical aspects of your project. Whether it’s choosing the right materials, understanding planning restrictions, or solving specific design challenges, we offer in-depth knowledge to ensure your new windows and doors align with your project goals. You can rely on us to explain options clearly, address any concerns, and make sure every detail is correctly specified.
Before we begin any production, we offer a thorough site survey to ensure we fully understand your project’s requirements. This allows us to gather essential measurements, assess the structural conditions, and take note of any unique features or limitations that could impact the design or fitting process. With this hands-on approach, we can ensure that all windows and doors are manufactured to the precise specifications your building needs.
Once the site survey is completed, we provide detailed CAD drawings that illustrate the design, dimensions, and layout of the windows and doors. These plans offer clear visualisations of how the joinery will look and function, giving you confidence in the design before we move into production. These detailed plans also help ensure that everything meets your project’s specific requirements and complies with planning or conservation regulations.
We understand how important it is to get every detail right, which is why we provide painted factory samples for your approval before we proceed with full production. This allows you to assess the finish, colour, and overall aesthetic of the joinery, ensuring it aligns perfectly with your vision. Once the sample is approved, we proceed with the full manufacture of the windows and doors to your exact specifications
Navigating the planning approval process—particularly for listed buildings or properties in conservation areas—can be challenging. While we don’t handle applications on your behalf, our team is here to offer guidance and share our expertise to help you understand what may be required. We’ll work closely with you to ensure our joinery aligns with the expectations of local authorities and conservation officers, helping to make the process as straightforward as possible.
We pride ourselves on producing windows and doors with exceptional craftsmanship. Every piece is made to the highest standard, featuring flush joints, precise detailing, and a finish that enhances the building's original aesthetic. Our joinery is not only beautiful but built to last, ensuring that your windows and doors will serve their purpose for years to come, with minimal maintenance.
We understand that keeping your project on budget and on schedule is crucial. That’s why we offer highly competitive prices without compromising on quality, ensuring that you get excellent value for your investment. Additionally, we pride ourselves on offering reliable lead times, so you can plan your installation and other stages of the project with confidence, knowing that we’ll deliver on time.

"A few weeks ago you completed the installation for us here in Shamley Green of a new oak staircase. This staircase had been designed and manufactured by your joinery team to suit our requirements. To that end you had surveyed the site, arranged timescale for delivery and the installation on site by your recommended carpenters. We wanted you to know how pleased we are the result and with all communications with your staff."
