Bespoke Timber Doors in Basildon
Bespoke Timber Doors made to measure for homes across Basildon, surveyed on site and finished in the workshop before they are hung.
Specifying a door for Basildon
Basildon 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 Basildon is largely post-war and mixed estate stock, which suits flush or two-panel doors with a clean square-edged moulding. We match the mouldings and panel proportions to what is already on the street rather than fitting a generic pattern.

Common questions
How does a bespoke door start?
With the opening and a conversation. We draw the door, agree the mouldings and glazing, and only then cut timber.
What door suits a post-war house?
A flush or two-panel door with a square-edged moulding and a simple glazed light. Clean lines suit the elevation better than applied period detail.
What happens if the door needs adjusting later?
First-season adjustment is included. Timber settles, buildings move, and a small tweak after a winter is normal rather than a fault.
Can you replace the frame as well as the door?
Yes, and often it is the better answer. A new leaf in a rotten frame will not seal properly however well the door itself is made.
Is timber a sustainable choice?
Responsibly sourced timber is the only mainstream door material that stores carbon rather than emitting it in manufacture, and a timber door can be repaired rather than replaced.
Can you work to an architect's specification?
Yes. Send the drawings and schedule and we will price against them, flagging anything that will not perform as drawn.
