Timber Door Frames in Hampshire
We make and fit Timber Door Frames throughout Hampshire — measured properly, built from timber chosen for the exposure, and adjusted once they are in.
6 of the 13 towns we cover in Hampshire 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.
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
Should I replace the frame with the door?
If the frame has softened at the foot or the cill is shedding water inwards, yes. A new leaf will not fix a frame that has failed.
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.
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 door suits a 1930s semi?
A three-panel door with a wide glazed head, often leaded in a sunburst or geometric pattern. The glazed area is proportionally larger than on a Victorian door.
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.
