Timber Fire Doors in Cambridgeshire
Homes in Cambridgeshire get Timber Fire Doors built around the opening they have, with the timber and finish specified against local conditions.
1 of the 10 towns we cover in Cambridgeshire are coastal, where Accoya or dense hardwood and marine-grade stainless ironmongery are the sensible specification, and 3 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.
Price and lead time in Cambridgeshire

Common questions
What does FD30 actually mean?
The doorset resists fire for 30 minutes when tested as a complete assembly. The rating belongs to the doorset — leaf, frame, seals and ironmongery — not the leaf alone.
Do I need permission to change a door in a conservation area?
Often. Conservation area status can remove permitted development rights for front elevations, and Article 4 directions tighten it further. Check with the local planning authority before ordering.
Can modern sealed units go in a heritage door?
Slim-profile units down to around 11mm can, and they are frequently accepted where a chunky modern unit would not be. Some listed buildings still require single glazing.
What door suits a 1930s semi?
A three-panel door with a wide glazed head, often leaded in a sunburst or geometric pattern. The glazed area is proportionally larger than on a Victorian door.
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.
