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
Will the council accept a new timber door?
Usually yes, if it matches the original pattern, mouldings and glazing. Refusals almost always follow proposals that change the appearance rather than the material.
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 stone cottage?
A ledged, braced and boarded door with long strap hinges. Openings are usually low and rarely square, so the door is made to the opening as found.
Can you supply just the door leaf?
Yes, if the existing frame is sound and correctly sized. We will check it at survey — hanging a new leaf in a failed frame wastes the door.
How much does a timber door cost?
Guide prices start from the figures shown on each product page, supplied and fitted. The variables are size, timber, glazing and ironmongery, and the survey fixes the number.
