Victorian Timber Doors in Ceredigion
Victorian Timber Doors for Ceredigion properties: a free measured survey, a fixed price, and a door that still closes cleanly in the winter.
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 makes a door authentically Victorian?
Four panels with the upper pair taller, a bolection moulding standing proud of the panel face, and stiles wide enough to look right — usually 115mm or more.
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
We give an indicative price from sizes or photographs, then survey free of charge before anything is made. The survey is what turns an estimate into a fixed price.
What timber do you use?
Engineered redwood for painted doors, dense hardwoods such as sapele or idigbo where more strength is wanted, European oak where the grain is the point, and Accoya on exposed and coastal openings.
