Specifying a door for Sutton Coldfield
Sutton Coldfield 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 Sutton Coldfield is largely 1920s–1930s semi-detached stock, which suits three-panel doors with a wide glazed head, often in a sunburst or geometric lead pattern. We match the mouldings and panel proportions to what is already on the street rather than fitting a generic pattern.

Common questions
What is a ledged and braced door?
Vertical boards held by horizontal ledges with diagonal braces running from the bottom hinge corner upward, which stops the door dropping. The brace must run the right way or it does nothing.
What door suits a 1930s semi?
A three-panel door with a wide glazed head, often leaded in a sunburst or geometric pattern. The glazed area is proportionally larger than on a Victorian door.
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.
