Timber Bi-Fold Doors in Flintshire
Timber Bi-Fold Doors made to measure for homes across Flintshire, surveyed on site and finished in the workshop before they are hung.
2 of the 6 towns we cover in Flintshire are coastal, where Accoya or dense hardwood and marine-grade stainless ironmongery are the sensible specification, and 1 carry designated conservation areas where the glazing pattern and mouldings need to match what is already there.
Timber moves. The trick is not to stop it but to allow for it — correct moisture content at the workshop, sealed end grain, a finish that lets vapour out and keeps water off, and clearances set for the season you fit in.

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.
Do I need permission to change a door in a conservation area?
Often. Conservation area status can remove permitted development rights for front elevations, and Article 4 directions tighten it further. Check with the local planning authority before ordering.
Can modern sealed units go in a heritage door?
Slim-profile units down to around 11mm can, and they are frequently accepted where a chunky modern unit would not be. Some listed buildings still require single glazing.
What door suits a stone cottage?
A ledged, braced and boarded door with long strap hinges. Openings are usually low and rarely square, so the door is made to the opening as found.
Can a timber door be made wheelchair accessible?
Yes. A low-threshold or ramped cill can be specified without losing the weather seal, and the leaf can be widened where the structural opening allows.
Will the colour fade?
Modern microporous coatings hold colour well, though very dark colours on south-facing elevations work hardest. We will advise if a chosen colour is likely to be a maintenance burden.
