Painted Timber Doors in Isle of Wight
We make and fit Painted Timber Doors throughout Isle of Wight — measured properly, built from timber chosen for the exposure, and adjusted once they are in.
8 of the 8 towns we cover in Isle of Wight are coastal, where Accoya or dense hardwood and marine-grade stainless ironmongery are the sensible specification.
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
Is a factory-sprayed finish better than painting on site?
Considerably. Spraying gives an even film thickness on all six faces including the top and bottom edges, and it cures in controlled conditions rather than in whatever weather turns up.
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 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 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.
How do you price glazing?
By area and specification. Obscure and etched glass costs more than clear; leaded and stained panels are priced per panel once the pattern is agreed.
