Georgian Timber Doors in Cumbria
Homes in Cumbria get Georgian Timber Doors built around the opening they have, with the timber and finish specified against local conditions.
4 of the 11 towns we cover in Cumbria are coastal, where Accoya or dense hardwood and marine-grade stainless ironmongery are the sensible specification, and 7 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 Cumbria
Georgian Timber Doors start at £1,900 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
Do I need a fanlight?
Not structurally, but the six-panel Georgian door was designed with one. Without it the proportions above the door usually look wrong.
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.
Do you work on listed buildings?
Regularly. Listed building consent is a separate process from planning, and we can supply the drawings and specification your application needs.
What happens if the door needs adjusting later?
First-season adjustment is included. Timber settles, buildings move, and a small tweak after a winter is normal rather than a fault.
Can you replace the frame as well as the door?
Yes, and often it is the better answer. A new leaf in a rotten frame will not seal properly however well the door itself is made.
Is timber a sustainable choice?
Responsibly sourced timber is the only mainstream door material that stores carbon rather than emitting it in manufacture, and a timber door can be repaired rather than replaced.
