Timber Bi-Fold Doors in County Durham
We make and fit Timber Bi-Fold Doors throughout County Durham — measured properly, built from timber chosen for the exposure, and adjusted once they are in.
2 of the 10 towns we cover in County Durham 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.
Most door problems are not the door. They are an opening that has moved, a cill that sheds water backwards, or a finish that was never cured properly. A survey is what separates a door that works from one you fight with.
Price and lead time in County Durham

Common questions
Can timber bi-folds run smoothly long term?
Yes, on a top-hung track with the weight carried by the head rather than the cill. It keeps the running gear out of the water and the panels aligned.
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.
How do I get an indicative price quickly?
Use the guide-price tool, or send sizes and a photograph. Either gives a realistic range within a working day.
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.
