Painted Timber Doors in Northumberland
We make and fit Painted Timber Doors throughout Northumberland — measured properly, built from timber chosen for the exposure, and adjusted once they are in.
5 of the 10 towns we cover in Northumberland 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.
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.

Common questions
Is a factory-sprayed finish better than painting on site?
Considerably. Spraying gives an even film thickness on all six faces including the top and bottom edges, and it cures in controlled conditions rather than in whatever weather turns up.
How often should a coastal door be recoated?
Three to five years on exposed elevations, against seven or more inland. Salt-facing elevations always go first.
What timber holds up best near the coast?
Accoya first, then dense hardwoods. Modified timber barely moves with humidity swings, which is exactly the load a coastal door is under.
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 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 door suits a Victorian terrace?
A four-panel door with a bolection moulding and an etched or obscured upper light. Stile widths matter — narrow modern stiles make the proportions look wrong immediately.
