Timber Door Repairs in Hampshire
Timber Door Repairs for Hampshire properties: a free measured survey, a fixed price, and a door that still closes cleanly in the winter.
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.
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 rot be repaired or must the door be replaced?
Localised rot is cut out and spliced with matching timber, which is standard joinery practice. If it has reached the joints and the door is racking, replacement is the honest answer.
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.
Do I need building regulations approval?
Replacing a door like-for-like usually does not need approval, but the new door must meet current thermal and safety-glazing standards. We specify to comply as standard.
Can you make non-standard shapes?
Arched heads, splayed jambs, tapered cills and out-of-square openings are routine. Old buildings are rarely square and we build to the opening as found.
