Timber Door Frames
New frames, linings and cills cut to the opening you actually have.
A timber door is a structural component that happens to be decorative. Get the species, the finish and the weatherbar right and it will outlast anything moulded; get them wrong and it will swell, drop and stick within a couple of winters.
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
Timber Door Frames start at £480 per frame supplied and fitted, with VAT included. Typical lead time is 4–6 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
Should I replace the frame with the door?
If the frame has softened at the foot or the cill is shedding water inwards, yes. A new leaf will not fix a frame that has failed.
What is engineered timber and why use it?
Engineered stiles are laminated from several sections with the grain alternated, so the door resists twisting far better than a solid section of the same size. Under paint it is the more stable choice.
Do you fit as well as supply?
Both. Most customers take supply and fit, which keeps the guarantee in one place. Supply-only is available if you have your own joiner.
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.
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.
