Timber Door Repairs in Aberdeenshire
If you are replacing a door in Aberdeenshire, Timber Door Repairs are cut to your actual opening rather than to a nearest standard size.
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.
The difference between a door that lasts eight years and one that lasts thirty is mostly invisible from the street: the joint type, whether the stiles are engineered, whether the bottom rail is sealed, and how the water gets away.

Common questions
Can rot be repaired or must the door be replaced?
Localised rot is cut out and spliced with matching timber, which is standard joinery practice. If it has reached the joints and the door is racking, replacement is the honest answer.
Does sea air really affect a timber door?
Yes, in two ways. Salt is hygroscopic so it holds moisture against the surface, and airborne chloride corrodes standard ironmongery quickly. Both are solvable at specification stage.
Which ironmongery survives salt air?
Grade A4 (marine) stainless steel. Standard A2 stainless and lacquered brass both fail within a few years within about a mile of open water.
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.
Can you work to an architect's specification?
Yes. Send the drawings and schedule and we will price against them, flagging anything that will not perform as drawn.
How wide can a single door be?
Around 1,100mm for a standard leaf before the weight starts to work against the hinges. Beyond that a pair or a leaf-and-a-half arrangement is the sensible answer.
