Bespoke Doors Ipswich

Turner & Co Bespoke Joinery Ltd handcraft bespoke timber stable doors, French doors, bi fold doors, front doors and internal doors for homes across Ipswich, Kesgrave, Rushmere St Andrew and Martlesham Heath, all made at our own workshop rather than shipped in from elsewhere.

A front door on a Victorian terrace near St Helen’s or Christchurch Street tends to call for a different profile than one going onto a new build at Ravenswood or the Waterfront, so we look at the property first rather than starting from a standard size. That difference in character across the town is part of what makes a made to measure door worth the extra thought over something off the shelf.

That local starting point is part of why people across Ipswich keep choosing us, whether it’s a single door or several at once. Let us know what you’re after and we’ll take it from there.

Which Timber Doors Suit An Ipswich Home?

It depends on the property more than anything else. Georgian and Victorian houses near the town centre generally suit a panelled door with proportions to match the original opening, while newer estates give more room to try cleaner lines and different ironmongery.

Front And Stable Doors

Front doors set the tone for the whole property, so we work out proportions, ironmongery and colour together before cutting anything. Stable doors are a popular option on older cottages and terraces where opening just the top half makes more sense than swinging the whole door wide.

French And Bi Fold Doors

French doors bring extra light into a room and open up a connection to a garden or courtyard. Bi fold doors suit a wider opening particularly well, which comes up often on the newer builds around Ravenswood and the Waterfront where kitchen extensions are common.

What Happens After You Get In Touch?

We visit the property first, talk through what you have in mind and take proper measurements, rather than working from a description over the phone. From there we produce technical drawings and select timber suited to the project. Once we’ve agreed the drawings, we manufacture and spray finish the door at our workshop, then carry out the fitting ourselves.

Do You Need Permission To Replace A Front Door In Ipswich?

Sometimes, depending on the property. Ipswich Borough Council’s conservation areas guidance confirms that altering or replacing features on a property within one of the borough’s 15 conservation areas needs consent from the council in certain cases, since it’s the character of the whole street that’s being protected, not just one building. Properties outside those boundaries have more flexibility, though getting the proportions right still matters just as much to how the finished door looks.

What Makes Turner & Co Different For Doors In Ipswich?

Because the same person who designs your door also builds and fits it, rather than the project passing between different trades along the way. On top of that, we work exclusively in timber, never uPVC or aluminium, using sustainably sourced material chosen for each specific door. And because the workshop is right here in Ipswich, any questions along the way go straight to the people actually making your door.

Straight From Our Customers

We’ve fitted doors on Victorian terraces, waterfront apartments and new builds right across Ipswich, and the comment we hear most is that the finished door looks like it was always meant to be there. Here’s what one customer had to say.

Every Door Starts With A Conversation

Whether it’s a single front door or a full set across the property, the starting point is the same: understanding what the door actually needs to do before we design anything.
