Timber French Doors in Dumfries and Galloway
We make and fit Timber French Doors throughout Dumfries and Galloway — measured properly, built from timber chosen for the exposure, and adjusted once they are in.
3 of the 7 towns we cover in Dumfries and Galloway are coastal, where Accoya or dense hardwood and marine-grade stainless ironmongery are the sensible specification, and 3 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
How do French doors stay weathertight?
Through a rebated meeting stile, compression seals on both leaves and a shootbolt set that pulls the slave leaf into the frame at head and cill.
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 look after the finish?
Wash the door twice a year with mild soapy water and check the bottom rail and cill for standing water. Recoating intervals depend on exposure and aspect — south and west elevations go first.
What if my opening is not square?
Very few are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several heights and the door is made to suit, with the frame packed and scribed on fitting.
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.
