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
What makes a door authentically Victorian?
Four panels with the upper pair taller, a bolection moulding standing proud of the panel face, and stiles wide enough to look right — usually 115mm or more.
Does sea air really affect a timber door?
Yes, in two ways. Salt is hygroscopic so it holds moisture against the surface, and airborne chloride corrodes standard ironmongery quickly. Both are solvable at specification stage.
Which ironmongery survives salt air?
Grade A4 (marine) stainless steel. Standard A2 stainless and lacquered brass both fail within a few years within about a mile of open water.
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.
Can you work to an architect's specification?
Yes. Send the drawings and schedule and we will price against them, flagging anything that will not perform as drawn.
How wide can a single door be?
Around 1,100mm for a standard leaf before the weight starts to work against the hinges. Beyond that a pair or a leaf-and-a-half arrangement is the sensible answer.
