Timber doors in Somerset

We survey, make and fit made-to-measure timber doors throughout Somerset, covering 12 towns from the workshop to the fitted door.

Coastal openings. Bridgwater, Weston-super-Mare, Minehead, Burnham-on-Sea sit close enough to open water that salt-laden air drives the specification: Accoya or dense hardwood, a high-build microporous coating and grade A4 marine stainless ironmongery.

Conservation areas. Bath, Frome, Wells, Glastonbury, Street, Shepton Mallet 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

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 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.

Do you work on listed buildings?

Regularly. Listed building consent is a separate process from planning, and we can supply the drawings and specification your application needs.

What happens if the door needs adjusting later?

First-season adjustment is included. Timber settles, buildings move, and a small tweak after a winter is normal rather than a fault.

Can you replace the frame as well as the door?

Yes, and often it is the better answer. A new leaf in a rotten frame will not seal properly however well the door itself is made.
