Timber Front Doors in Norfolk
We make and fit Timber Front Doors throughout Norfolk — measured properly, built from timber chosen for the exposure, and adjusted once they are in.
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 Front Doors start at £1,350 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
Should a front door open in or out?
Almost always inwards in the UK, so the weatherbar and the rebate can shed water outwards and the hinges are protected from the elements.
What do conservation officers usually object to?
Wrong material, wrong glazing pattern, and mouldings that are close but not right. Timber matching the original pattern is rarely refused.
What drawings will I need for an application?
Usually an elevation at 1:20, a section through the door and frame showing mouldings, and a written specification of timber, finish and glazing. We produce these.
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 I need building regulations approval?
Replacing a door like-for-like usually does not need approval, but the new door must meet current thermal and safety-glazing standards. We specify to comply as standard.
Can you make non-standard shapes?
Arched heads, splayed jambs, tapered cills and out-of-square openings are routine. Old buildings are rarely square and we build to the opening as found.
