Oak Front Doors in Shropshire
Oak Front Doors made to measure for homes across Shropshire, surveyed on site and finished in the workshop before they are hung.
1 of the 10 towns we cover in Shropshire are coastal, where Accoya or dense hardwood and marine-grade stainless ironmongery are the sensible specification, and 4 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 Shropshire

Common questions
Does an oak door need oiling or painting?
Oak is normally oiled or left with a UV-stabilised translucent finish so the grain shows. It can be painted, but most people who choose oak want to see it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do you fit as well as supply?
Both. Most customers take supply and fit, which keeps the guarantee in one place. Supply-only is available if you have your own joiner.
