Accoya Front Doors in Cornwall
We make and fit Accoya Front Doors throughout Cornwall — measured properly, built from timber chosen for the exposure, and adjusted once they are in.
8 of the 12 towns we cover in Cornwall are coastal, where Accoya or dense hardwood and marine-grade stainless ironmongery are the sensible specification, and 5 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 Cornwall
Accoya Front Doors start at £2,600 per door supplied and fitted, VAT included, with a typical lead time of 8–10 weeks. Try the indicative price tool for a range, or send sizes and we will be closer.
Common questions
What makes Accoya different?
It is softwood modified through acetylation so it barely absorbs moisture. Movement drops dramatically, coatings last far longer, and it carries a long durability warranty.
What drawings will I need for an application?
Usually an elevation at 1:20, a section through the door and frame showing mouldings, and a written specification of timber, finish and glazing. We produce these.
What do conservation officers usually object to?
Wrong material, wrong glazing pattern, and mouldings that are close but not right. Timber matching the original pattern is rarely refused.
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.
What is the difference between a door and a doorset?
A doorset is the leaf, frame, seals and ironmongery supplied together and pre-hung. It fits faster and performs more predictably than parts assembled on site.
Do you handle planning applications?
We do not submit on your behalf, but we produce the elevational drawings, sections and specification that conservation and planning officers ask for.
