Georgian Timber Doors in Somerset
Georgian Timber Doors made to measure for homes across Somerset, surveyed on site and finished in the workshop before they are hung.
4 of the 12 towns we cover in Somerset are coastal, where Accoya or dense hardwood and marine-grade stainless ironmongery are the sensible specification, and 6 carry designated conservation areas where the glazing pattern and mouldings need to match what is already there.
Timber moves. The trick is not to stop it but to allow for it — correct moisture content at the workshop, sealed end grain, a finish that lets vapour out and keeps water off, and clearances set for the season you fit in.
Price and lead time in Somerset

Common questions
Do I need a fanlight?
Not structurally, but the six-panel Georgian door was designed with one. Without it the proportions above the door usually look wrong.
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.
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.
