Hardwood Front Doors in Corby
We make and fit Hardwood Front Doors throughout Corby — measured properly, built from timber chosen for the exposure, and adjusted once they are in.
Specifying a door for Corby
Corby 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 Corby 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
Which hardwood is best for a front door?
Sapele and idigbo are the common choices — dense, stable and readily available. Idigbo takes paint particularly well; sapele suits a stained finish.
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.
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.
Is there a guarantee?
Ten years on the joinery and the factory finish, with the survey record kept so any claim is straightforward to deal with.
Do you take a deposit?
A deposit is taken when the order is placed and the balance on completion. Nothing is payable before the survey and the written quotation.
