Oak Front Doors in Swansea
Homes in Swansea get Oak Front Doors built around the opening they have, with the timber and finish specified against local conditions.
2 of the 5 towns we cover in Swansea are coastal, where Accoya or dense hardwood and marine-grade stainless ironmongery are the sensible specification.
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 Swansea

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.
Which ironmongery survives salt air?
Grade A4 (marine) stainless steel. Standard A2 stainless and lacquered brass both fail within a few years within about a mile of open water.
Does sea air really affect a timber door?
Yes, in two ways. Salt is hygroscopic so it holds moisture against the surface, and airborne chloride corrodes standard ironmongery quickly. Both are solvable at specification stage.
What door suits a stone cottage?
A ledged, braced and boarded door with long strap hinges. Openings are usually low and rarely square, so the door is made to the opening as found.
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.
What glazing goes in a timber door?
Sealed units in a range of obscure, etched, leaded and clear finishes, bedded and beaded from the inside so the glass cannot be removed from outside.
