Hardwood Front Doors in Islington
Hardwood Front Doors for Islington properties: a free measured survey, a fixed price, and a door that still closes cleanly in the winter.
Specifying a door for Islington
Islington 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 Islington is largely Georgian and Regency townhouse stock, which suits six-panel raised-and-fielded doors set under a radial fanlight. 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 Georgian townhouse?
Six raised-and-fielded panels under a fanlight, in a painted finish. Proportion is everything: the panels step in size up the door rather than repeating equally.
How do you handle out-of-hours or emergency repairs?
Making a door secure and weathertight is usually possible quickly; the permanent repair follows once parts are available.
Do you offer trade supply?
Yes, for builders and joiners working to their own programme. Trade orders still go through the same survey and quality checks.
How do you price glazing?
By area and specification. Obscure and etched glass costs more than clear; leaded and stained panels are priced per panel once the pattern is agreed.
What is the difference between a door and a doorset?
A doorset is the leaf, frame, seals and ironmongery supplied together and pre-hung. It fits faster and performs more predictably than parts assembled on site.
