Timber Back Doors in Didcot
If you are replacing a door in Didcot, Timber Back Doors are cut to your actual opening rather than to a nearest standard size.
Specifying a door for Didcot
Didcot 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 Didcot is largely recent estate and mixed modern stock, which suits square-cut contemporary doors with a long vertical glazed light. We match the mouldings and panel proportions to what is already on the street rather than fitting a generic pattern.

Common questions
Does a back door need the same specification as the front?
Usually more. Back doors are often on the weather side, get harder use and see wetter conditions from the garden.
What door suits a modern estate house?
A square-cut contemporary door with a long vertical glazed light, usually in a factory-sprayed colour. Timber gives a warmth that composite doors on the same street do not have.
What glazing goes in a timber door?
Sealed units in a range of obscure, etched, leaded and clear finishes, bedded and beaded from the inside so the glass cannot be removed from outside.
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.
