Timber Door Restoration in Hertfordshire
Timber Door Restoration for Hertfordshire properties: a free measured survey, a fixed price, and a door that still closes cleanly in the winter.
5 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.
Price and lead time in Hertfordshire

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.
What do conservation officers usually object to?
Wrong material, wrong glazing pattern, and mouldings that are close but not right. Timber matching the original pattern is rarely refused.
What drawings will I need for an application?
Usually an elevation at 1:20, a section through the door and frame showing mouldings, and a written specification of timber, finish and glazing. We produce these.
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 you handle out-of-hours or emergency repairs?
Making a door secure and weathertight is usually possible quickly; the permanent repair follows once parts are available.
Do you offer trade supply?
Yes, for builders and joiners working to their own programme. Trade orders still go through the same survey and quality checks.
