Timber Front Doors in Tyne and Wear
We make and fit Timber Front Doors throughout Tyne and Wear — measured properly, built from timber chosen for the exposure, and adjusted once they are in.
6 of the 10 towns we cover in Tyne and Wear are coastal, where Accoya or dense hardwood and marine-grade stainless ironmongery are the sensible specification.
Most door problems are not the door. They are an opening that has moved, a cill that sheds water backwards, or a finish that was never cured properly. A survey is what separates a door that works from one you fight with.

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.
What door suits a Victorian terrace?
A four-panel door with a bolection moulding and an etched or obscured upper light. Stile widths matter — narrow modern stiles make the proportions look wrong immediately.
Do you offer trade supply?
Yes, for builders and joiners working to their own programme. Trade orders still go through the same survey and quality checks.
How do you price glazing?
By area and specification. Obscure and etched glass costs more than clear; leaded and stained panels are priced per panel once the pattern is agreed.
What is the difference between a door and a doorset?
A doorset is the leaf, frame, seals and ironmongery supplied together and pre-hung. It fits faster and performs more predictably than parts assembled on site.
Do you handle planning applications?
We do not submit on your behalf, but we produce the elevational drawings, sections and specification that conservation and planning officers ask for.
