Timber Stable Doors in Kent
If you are replacing a door in Kent, Timber Stable Doors are cut to your actual opening rather than to a nearest standard size.
6 of the 14 towns we cover in Kent are coastal, where Accoya or dense hardwood and marine-grade stainless ironmongery are the sensible specification, and 3 carry designated conservation areas where the glazing pattern and mouldings need to match what is already there.
Most door problems are not the door. They are an opening that has moved, a cill that sheds water backwards, or a finish that was never cured properly. A survey is what separates a door that works from one you fight with.
Price and lead time in Kent
Timber Stable Doors start at £1,600 per door supplied and fitted, VAT included, with a typical lead time of 6–8 weeks. Try the indicative price tool for a range, or send sizes and we will be closer.
Common questions
Do the two halves lock together?
Yes. A stable door has a shootbolt or drop bolt that ties the leaves so the whole door operates as one when closed.
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 work on listed buildings?
Regularly. Listed building consent is a separate process from planning, and we can supply the drawings and specification your application needs.
What happens if the door needs adjusting later?
First-season adjustment is included. Timber settles, buildings move, and a small tweak after a winter is normal rather than a fault.
Can you replace the frame as well as the door?
Yes, and often it is the better answer. A new leaf in a rotten frame will not seal properly however well the door itself is made.
Is timber a sustainable choice?
Responsibly sourced timber is the only mainstream door material that stores carbon rather than emitting it in manufacture, and a timber door can be repaired rather than replaced.
