Cornwall’s distinctive architecture presents its own unique demands, from granite-built fishing cottages in Mousehole and St Ives to Georgian townhouses in Truro and sprawling farmhouses across the Penwith peninsula. Based just across the Tamar in Tavistock, NMJ brings nearly two decades of expertise to Cornwall homeowners, with a deep understanding of the county’s varied property types and the coastal conditions that timber windows here must be built to withstand.
Whether you’re restoring a character property, renovating a listed building in a conservation area, or specifying windows for a new build that sits sympathetically within its surroundings, the right timber windows are essential to both the look and long-term performance of your home.

Cornwall’s architecture varies considerably across the county. Casement windows are the most common style found in the county’s coastal cottages and rural farmhouses, while sliding sash windows suit the Georgian and Victorian townhouses found in Truro, Falmouth, and Penzance. For listed or conservation area properties, we work closely with Cornwall’s planning authorities to ensure the chosen style is sympathetic to the original character of the building.
n most cases, yes. Grade I, Grade II*, and Grade II listed properties will require Listed Building Consent, and planning permission may also be needed depending on the scope of work. We have considerable experience working with Cornwall’s local planning authorities and conservation officers, and can guide you through the process from start to finish.
Timescales vary depending on the complexity, specifications, and quantity of windows involved. Once your designs are approved we’ll provide a clear production timeline, and installation is planned carefully to minimise disruption to you and your home.
