Hardwood Front Doors in Stevenage
Hardwood Front Doors made to measure for homes across Stevenage, surveyed on site and finished in the workshop before they are hung.
Specifying a door for Stevenage
Stevenage 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 Stevenage 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 energy efficient is a timber door?
A modern insulated timber door with a sealed unit performs comparably to composite alternatives, and timber itself is a far poorer conductor than aluminium or steel.
What finish options are there?
Factory spray in any RAL or heritage colour, translucent stains, and natural oils on oak. All applied and cured in controlled conditions before the door ships.
Do you remove the old door?
Yes, and we take it away. If the frame is sound we can hang into it; if it has rotted at the foot we will say so at survey rather than after.
Can you supply just the door leaf?
Yes, if the existing frame is sound and correctly sized. We will check it at survey — hanging a new leaf in a failed frame wastes the door.
