Cottage Timber Doors in Aberdeenshire
Our Cottage Timber Doors are made to order for Aberdeenshire, spray-finished and cured before delivery so the door arrives protected.
4 of the 8 towns we cover in Aberdeenshire are coastal, where Accoya or dense hardwood and marine-grade stainless ironmongery are the sensible specification, and 4 carry designated conservation areas where the glazing pattern and mouldings need to match what is already there.
Timber moves. The trick is not to stop it but to allow for it — correct moisture content at the workshop, sealed end grain, a finish that lets vapour out and keeps water off, and clearances set for the season you fit in.

Common questions
What is a ledged and braced door?
Vertical boards held by horizontal ledges with diagonal braces running from the bottom hinge corner upward, which stops the door dropping. The brace must run the right way or it does nothing.
What timber holds up best near the coast?
Accoya first, then dense hardwoods. Modified timber barely moves with humidity swings, which is exactly the load a coastal door is under.
How often should a coastal door be recoated?
Three to five years on exposed elevations, against seven or more inland. Salt-facing elevations always go first.
What door suits a Victorian terrace?
A four-panel door with a bolection moulding and an etched or obscured upper light. Stile widths matter — narrow modern stiles make the proportions look wrong immediately.
Do you fit in winter?
Yes. Clearances are set for the season and the finish is already cured, so there is no waiting for weather to paint on site.
How do I get an indicative price quickly?
Use the guide-price tool, or send sizes and a photograph. Either gives a realistic range within a working day.
