Timber Double Doors in Perth and Kinross
We make and fit Timber Double Doors throughout Perth and Kinross — measured properly, built from timber chosen for the exposure, and adjusted once they are in.
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
Do both leaves need to open?
Not necessarily. A fixed slave leaf with flush bolts is more weathertight and cheaper; make both leaves working only if you will actually use the full width.
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 Georgian townhouse?
Six raised-and-fielded panels under a fanlight, in a painted finish. Proportion is everything: the panels step in size up the door rather than repeating equally.
How do I look after the finish?
Wash the door twice a year with mild soapy water and check the bottom rail and cill for standing water. Recoating intervals depend on exposure and aspect — south and west elevations go first.
What if my opening is not square?
Very few are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several heights and the door is made to suit, with the frame packed and scribed on fitting.
