Bespoke Timber Windows, Doors & Oak Joinery in Shropshire
The studio is in Shropshire. Design and manufacture happen in one workshop at Upper Farmcote, near Bridgnorth, and the county’s period and rural stock is the work the practice was built around.
We Are Woodland designs and makes architectural joinery for period and rural properties, and it does so from Shropshire. The workshop is at Hatchery Farm, Upper Farmcote, near Bridgnorth, which means Shropshire projects are not delivered from a distance — the survey, the drawings, the manufacture and the fitting all run from inside the county.
Shropshire’s building stock is unusually varied for one county. Timber-framed halls and black-and-white work in the north and east, brick farmhouses and Georgian town property through Bridgnorth, Ludlow and Shrewsbury, stone in the south-west towards the Clee Hills and the Welsh border, and a great deal of rural property that was never formally designed at all. Joinery that suits one of those does not automatically suit another, which is why the specification starts with the building rather than with a product range.

Common questions
- Do you make bespoke timber windows in Shropshire?
- Yes. The studio designs and manufactures timber windows in its own workshop at Upper Farmcote near Bridgnorth, so Shropshire work is made in the county rather than bought in. Sliding sash, flush casement and traditional casement windows are all made to the existing opening, with sections drawn from what survives on the building.
- Where in Shropshire do you work?
- Across the county — Bridgnorth, Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Much Wenlock, Church Stretton, Oswestry and Telford, and the rural property between them. The studio is based near Bridgnorth, and Shropshire adjoins the Worcestershire and West Midlands work directly.
- Can you make an oak porch for a Shropshire property?
- Yes. Oak porches are drawn to the host building rather than selected from a range, jointed traditionally in green oak, and detailed for the elevation they sit on. Green oak shakes and silvers as it seasons, which is expected behaviour rather than a fault.
- Do you work on listed buildings in Shropshire?
- Yes, and on properties in conservation areas. Alongside the joinery, the studio prepares the drawings and joinery specification a listed building consent application is judged on — sections, profiles, glazing and ironmongery set down before anything is made.
- What does bespoke joinery cost in Shropshire?
- The studio works to published floors: door sets from £5,000, entrance structures from £20,000, and full architectural joinery packages from £60,000. Cost above those depends on the building, the scope and the specification rather than on a price list.
