Timber Front Doors in Swansea
We make and fit Timber Front Doors throughout Swansea — measured properly, built from timber chosen for the exposure, and adjusted once they are in.
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.
The difference between a door that lasts eight years and one that lasts thirty is mostly invisible from the street: the joint type, whether the stiles are engineered, whether the bottom rail is sealed, and how the water gets away.

Common questions
Should a front door open in or out?
Almost always inwards in the UK, so the weatherbar and the rebate can shed water outwards and the hinges are protected from the elements.
How often should a coastal door be recoated?
Three to five years on exposed elevations, against seven or more inland. Salt-facing elevations always go first.
What timber holds up best near the coast?
Accoya first, then dense hardwoods. Modified timber barely moves with humidity swings, which is exactly the load a coastal door is under.
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.
Can you fit a cat flap or letter plate?
Both, and it is better done in the workshop where the aperture can be sealed properly rather than cut on site.
How do you handle out-of-hours or emergency repairs?
Making a door secure and weathertight is usually possible quickly; the permanent repair follows once parts are available.
