Timber Double Doors in Somerset
Our Timber Double Doors are made to order for Somerset, spray-finished and cured before delivery so the door arrives protected.
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.
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 Somerset

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 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 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 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.
What about draughts around the frame?
Compression seals in the rebate handle the leaf; the gap between frame and structure is a separate job, insulated and sealed on fitting rather than filled with expanding foam alone.
Do you fit in winter?
Yes. Clearances are set for the season and the finish is already cured, so there is no waiting for weather to paint on site.
