Specifying a door for Stow-on-the-Wold
Stow-on-the-Wold sees a normal share of west-coast weather without the salt load of a seafront opening. Engineered stiles and a properly sealed bottom rail handle it comfortably.
Housing in and around Stow-on-the-Wold is largely stone and rendered cottage stock, which suits ledged, braced and boarded doors with a plank face and long strap hinges. We match the mouldings and panel proportions to what is already on the street rather than fitting a generic pattern.

Planning note. Stow-on-the-Wold has designated conservation areas and a number of listed frontages. Conservation status can remove permitted development rights on front elevations, and an Article 4 direction can tighten that further. Replacing like-for-like in timber is rarely a problem; changing the material or the glazing pattern usually is. We produce the elevations, sections and written specification a planning or listed building consent application needs. Check with Gloucestershire planning before ordering.

Common questions
Will the council accept a new timber door?
Usually yes, if it matches the original pattern, mouldings and glazing. Refusals almost always follow proposals that change the appearance rather than the material.
Can modern sealed units go in a heritage door?
Slim-profile units down to around 11mm can, and they are frequently accepted where a chunky modern unit would not be. Some listed buildings still require single glazing.
Do I need permission to change a door in a conservation area?
Often. Conservation area status can remove permitted development rights for front elevations, and Article 4 directions tighten it further. Check with the local planning authority before ordering.
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.
Do you fit as well as supply?
Both. Most customers take supply and fit, which keeps the guarantee in one place. Supply-only is available if you have your own joiner.
What glazing goes in a timber door?
Sealed units in a range of obscure, etched, leaded and clear finishes, bedded and beaded from the inside so the glass cannot be removed from outside.
