Timber Door Frames in Bala
We make and fit Timber Door Frames throughout Bala — measured properly, built from timber chosen for the exposure, and adjusted once they are in.
Specifying a door for Bala
Bala is an exposed inland location, taking wind-driven rain off higher ground. The load on a door here is water forced against the joints rather than salt, so the priority is shedding water away from the bottom rail and keeping the coating film intact.
Housing in and around Bala is largely stone and rendered cottage stock, which suits ledged, braced and boarded doors with a plank face and long strap hinges. We match the mouldings and panel proportions to what is already on the street rather than fitting a generic pattern.

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 door suits a stone cottage?
A ledged, braced and boarded door with long strap hinges. Openings are usually low and rarely square, so the door is made to the opening as found.
How do I get an indicative price quickly?
Use the guide-price tool, or send sizes and a photograph. Either gives a realistic range within a working day.
Do you survey before quoting?
We give an indicative price from sizes or photographs, then survey free of charge before anything is made. The survey is what turns an estimate into a fixed price.
What timber do you use?
Engineered redwood for painted doors, dense hardwoods such as sapele or idigbo where more strength is wanted, European oak where the grain is the point, and Accoya on exposed and coastal openings.
Can you match an existing door?
Yes. We take the mouldings, panel proportions and glazing pattern from the original and reproduce them. If the door is beyond saving we can still copy it before it goes.
