Entrance doors
Oak Front Doors
Solid European oak entrance doors with a natural oiled or stained finish.
Timber moves. The trick is not to stop it but to allow for it — correct moisture content at the workshop, sealed end grain, a finish that lets vapour out and keeps water off, and clearances set for the season you fit in.
What you get
- A measured survey before anything is cut, recording the opening at several heights because very few are square.
- Timber specified for the site — engineered redwood under paint, dense hardwood where strength matters, oak where the grain is the point, Accoya where exposure is severe.
- A factory finish sprayed on all six faces including top and bottom edges, then cured before the door leaves the workshop.
- Fitting and first-season adjustment, because timber settles and buildings move.
- A ten-year guarantee on the joinery and the finish.
Guide price and lead time
Oak Front Doors start at £2,400 per door supplied and fitted, with VAT included. Typical lead time is 8–10 weeks from survey to fitting. Size, timber, glazing and ironmongery all move the number — use the indicative price tool for a range in about a minute, or send sizes for something closer.
Common questions
Does an oak door need oiling or painting?
Oak is normally oiled or left with a UV-stabilised translucent finish so the grain shows. It can be painted, but most people who choose oak want to see it.
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.
How much does a timber door cost?
Guide prices start from the figures shown on each product page, supplied and fitted. The variables are size, timber, glazing and ironmongery, and the survey fixes the number.
Can a timber door be made wheelchair accessible?
Yes. A low-threshold or ramped cill can be specified without losing the weather seal, and the leaf can be widened where the structural opening allows.
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.
How it works
Tell us the opening
Send sizes, a photo or just the address. A rough idea is enough to price the job.
Free measured survey
We measure the structural opening, check the cill and reveal, and confirm the specification.
Made and finished
Your door is machined, assembled and spray-finished, then cured before it leaves the workshop.
Fitted and adjusted
Hung, ironmongery set, weatherseals checked and the door left closing properly on a cold morning.
