Specifying a door for Dereham
Dereham 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 Dereham is largely 1920s–1930s semi-detached stock, which suits three-panel doors with a wide glazed head, often in a sunburst or geometric lead pattern. We match the mouldings and panel proportions to what is already on the street rather than fitting a generic pattern.

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.
What door suits a 1930s semi?
A three-panel door with a wide glazed head, often leaded in a sunburst or geometric pattern. The glazed area is proportionally larger than on a Victorian door.
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.
What ironmongery do you supply?
Everything from period butt hinges and rim locks to modern multipoint systems, in finishes from polished brass to satin stainless. Coastal sites get marine-grade stainless as standard.
Can you fit a cat flap or letter plate?
Both, and it is better done in the workshop where the aperture can be sealed properly rather than cut on site.
