Timber doors in Scottish Borders

We survey, make and fit made-to-measure timber doors throughout Scottish Borders, covering 8 towns from the workshop to the fitted door.

Conservation areas. Peebles, Kelso, Melrose, Jedburgh, Selkirk carry designated conservation areas or listed frontages. Like-for-like timber replacement is rarely refused; changing material or glazing pattern usually is. We produce drawings for consent applications.

Common questions

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.

Can I see a sample before ordering?

Timber and finish samples are available so you can see the colour on the actual species in your own light, which rarely matches a printed chart.

What if I only want a repair?

Then we quote a repair. Splicing a bottom rail, easing a dropped leaf or replacing a failed cill is often the right answer on a door worth keeping.

How long does a made-to-measure timber door take?

Most doors run six to ten weeks from survey to fitting, depending on the specification and the finish. Repairs and re-hangs are usually inside three weeks. We confirm dates at survey rather than guessing at enquiry stage.

Will a timber door swell and stick?

Timber moves with humidity, which is why clearances, sealed end grain and a breathable finish matter. A door made to the correct moisture content and finished on all six faces stays workable through the seasons.

What is engineered timber and why use it?

Engineered stiles are laminated from several sections with the grain alternated, so the door resists twisting far better than a solid section of the same size. Under paint it is the more stable choice.
