Entrance doors
Accoya Front Doors
Modified timber that barely moves — the specification for exposed and coastal sites.
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.
What you get
- A measured survey before anything is cut, recording the opening at several heights because very few are square.
- Timber specified for the site — engineered redwood under paint, dense hardwood where strength matters, oak where the grain is the point, Accoya where exposure is severe.
- A factory finish sprayed on all six faces including top and bottom edges, then cured before the door leaves the workshop.
- Fitting and first-season adjustment, because timber settles and buildings move.
- A ten-year guarantee on the joinery and the finish.
Guide price and lead time
Accoya Front Doors start at £2,600 per door supplied and fitted, with VAT included. Typical lead time is 8–10 weeks from survey to fitting. Size, timber, glazing and ironmongery all move the number — use the indicative price tool for a range in about a minute, or send sizes for something closer.
Common questions
What makes Accoya different?
It is softwood modified through acetylation so it barely absorbs moisture. Movement drops dramatically, coatings last far longer, and it carries a long durability warranty.
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.
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.
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.
How it works
Tell us the opening
Send sizes, a photo or just the address. A rough idea is enough to price the job.

We measure the structural opening, check the cill and reveal, and confirm the specification.

Your door is machined, assembled and spray-finished, then cured before it leaves the workshop.
Fitted and adjusted
Hung, ironmongery set, weatherseals checked and the door left closing properly on a cold morning.
