Conservation Area Doors in West Bromwich
We make and fit Conservation Area Doors throughout West Bromwich — measured properly, built from timber chosen for the exposure, and adjusted once they are in.
Specifying a door for West Bromwich
West Bromwich 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 West Bromwich is largely Victorian terraced and villa stock, which suits four-panel doors with a bolection moulding and an etched or obscured upper light. We match the mouldings and panel proportions to what is already on the street rather than fitting a generic pattern.

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.
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 I need building regulations approval?
Replacing a door like-for-like usually does not need approval, but the new door must meet current thermal and safety-glazing standards. We specify to comply as standard.
Can you make non-standard shapes?
Arched heads, splayed jambs, tapered cills and out-of-square openings are routine. Old buildings are rarely square and we build to the opening as found.
How do I look after the finish?
Wash the door twice a year with mild soapy water and check the bottom rail and cill for standing water. Recoating intervals depend on exposure and aspect — south and west elevations go first.
What if my opening is not square?
Very few are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several heights and the door is made to suit, with the frame packed and scribed on fitting.
