Painted Timber Doors in Suffolk
Our Painted Timber Doors are made to order for Suffolk, spray-finished and cured before delivery so the door arrives protected.
4 of the 12 towns we cover in Suffolk are coastal, where Accoya or dense hardwood and marine-grade stainless ironmongery are the sensible specification, and 7 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 Suffolk

Common questions
Is a factory-sprayed finish better than painting on site?
Considerably. Spraying gives an even film thickness on all six faces including the top and bottom edges, and it cures in controlled conditions rather than in whatever weather turns up.
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 1930s semi?
A three-panel door with a wide glazed head, often leaded in a sunburst or geometric pattern. The glazed area is proportionally larger than on a Victorian door.
Do you take a deposit?
A deposit is taken when the order is placed and the balance on completion. Nothing is payable before the survey and the written quotation.
What ironmongery do you supply?
Everything from period butt hinges and rim locks to modern multipoint systems, in finishes from polished brass to satin stainless. Coastal sites get marine-grade stainless as standard.
