Timber Door Frames in Crawley
Timber Door Frames made to measure for homes across Crawley, surveyed on site and finished in the workshop before they are hung.
Specifying a door for Crawley
Crawley 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 Crawley is largely post-war and mixed estate stock, which suits flush or two-panel doors with a clean square-edged moulding. 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 post-war house?
A flush or two-panel door with a square-edged moulding and a simple glazed light. Clean lines suit the elevation better than applied period detail.
Can you work to an architect's specification?
Yes. Send the drawings and schedule and we will price against them, flagging anything that will not perform as drawn.
How wide can a single door be?
Around 1,100mm for a standard leaf before the weight starts to work against the hinges. Beyond that a pair or a leaf-and-a-half arrangement is the sensible answer.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Timber and finish samples are available so you can see the colour on the actual species in your own light, which rarely matches a printed chart.
What if I only want a repair?
Then we quote a repair. Splicing a bottom rail, easing a dropped leaf or replacing a failed cill is often the right answer on a door worth keeping.
