Timber Back Doors in Norfolk
Homes in Norfolk get Timber Back Doors built around the opening they have, with the timber and finish specified against local conditions.
4 of the 12 towns we cover in Norfolk are coastal, where Accoya or dense hardwood and marine-grade stainless ironmongery are the sensible specification, and 5 carry designated conservation areas where the glazing pattern and mouldings need to match what is already there.
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.
Price and lead time in Norfolk
Timber Back Doors start at £1,100 per door supplied and fitted, VAT included, with a typical lead time of 5–7 weeks. Try the indicative price tool for a range, or send sizes and we will be closer.
Common questions
Does a back door need the same specification as the front?
Usually more. Back doors are often on the weather side, get harder use and see wetter conditions from the garden.
Can modern sealed units go in a heritage door?
Slim-profile units down to around 11mm can, and they are frequently accepted where a chunky modern unit would not be. Some listed buildings still require single glazing.
Do I need permission to change a door in a conservation area?
Often. Conservation area status can remove permitted development rights for front elevations, and Article 4 directions tighten it further. Check with the local planning authority before ordering.
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.
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.
