Cottage Timber Doors in Ceredigion
We make and fit Cottage Timber Doors throughout Ceredigion — measured properly, built from timber chosen for the exposure, and adjusted once they are in.
4 of the 5 towns we cover in Ceredigion are coastal, where Accoya or dense hardwood and marine-grade stainless ironmongery are the sensible specification, and 2 carry designated conservation areas where the glazing pattern and mouldings need to match what is already there.
A timber door is a structural component that happens to be decorative. Get the species, the finish and the weatherbar right and it will outlast anything moulded; get them wrong and it will swell, drop and stick within a couple of winters.

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 stone cottage?
A ledged, braced and boarded door with long strap hinges. Openings are usually low and rarely square, so the door is made to the opening as found.
Is there a guarantee?
Ten years on the joinery and the factory finish, with the survey record kept so any claim is straightforward to deal with.
Do you take a deposit?
A deposit is taken when the order is placed and the balance on completion. Nothing is payable before the survey and the written quotation.
