Timber Door Restoration in East Sussex
Our Timber Door Restoration are made to order for East Sussex, spray-finished and cured before delivery so the door arrives protected.
7 of the 11 towns we cover in East Sussex 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.
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.

Common questions
When is a door worth restoring?
If the stiles and panels are sound, restoration is nearly always cheaper and better than replacement. Rot confined to the bottom rail or the foot of a stile can be spliced out.
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 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.
What door suits a Georgian townhouse?
Six raised-and-fielded panels under a fanlight, in a painted finish. Proportion is everything: the panels step in size up the door rather than repeating equally.
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.
Can you match an existing door?
Yes. We take the mouldings, panel proportions and glazing pattern from the original and reproduce them. If the door is beyond saving we can still copy it before it goes.
