Accoya Front Doors in Islington
Accoya Front Doors for Islington properties: a free measured survey, a fixed price, and a door that still closes cleanly in the winter.
Specifying a door for Islington
Islington is a relatively sheltered inland location, so the specification is driven more by how the door looks and how secure it is than by weather resistance.
Housing in and around Islington is largely Georgian and Regency townhouse stock, which suits six-panel raised-and-fielded doors set under a radial fanlight. We match the mouldings and panel proportions to what is already on the street rather than fitting a generic pattern.

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 door suits a Georgian townhouse?
Six raised-and-fielded panels under a fanlight, in a painted finish. Proportion is everything: the panels step in size up the door rather than repeating equally.
Do you survey before quoting?
We give an indicative price from sizes or photographs, then survey free of charge before anything is made. The survey is what turns an estimate into a fixed price.
What timber do you use?
Engineered redwood for painted doors, dense hardwoods such as sapele or idigbo where more strength is wanted, European oak where the grain is the point, and Accoya on exposed and coastal openings.
Can you match an existing door?
Yes. We take the mouldings, panel proportions and glazing pattern from the original and reproduce them. If the door is beyond saving we can still copy it before it goes.
How secure is a timber door?
A well-built timber door with a multipoint lock and reinforced keeps is at least as secure as a composite equivalent. The lock and the frame fixings matter more than the leaf material.
