Georgian Timber Doors in Chirk
Georgian Timber Doors made to measure for homes across Chirk, surveyed on site and finished in the workshop before they are hung.
Specifying a door for Chirk
Chirk is an exposed inland location, taking wind-driven rain off higher ground. The load on a door here is water forced against the joints rather than salt, so the priority is shedding water away from the bottom rail and keeping the coating film intact.
Housing in and around Chirk 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.

Common questions
Do I need a fanlight?
Not structurally, but the six-panel Georgian door was designed with one. Without it the proportions above the door usually look wrong.
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.
Will the colour fade?
Modern microporous coatings hold colour well, though very dark colours on south-facing elevations work hardest. We will advise if a chosen colour is likely to be a maintenance burden.
Do you work on listed buildings?
Regularly. Listed building consent is a separate process from planning, and we can supply the drawings and specification your application needs.
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.
