Timber Door Frames in Kenilworth
Timber Door Frames for Kenilworth properties: a free measured survey, a fixed price, and a door that still closes cleanly in the winter.
Specifying a door for Kenilworth
Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth is largely Victorian terraced and villa stock, which suits four-panel doors with a bolection moulding and an etched or obscured upper light. We match the mouldings and panel proportions to what is already on the street rather than fitting a generic pattern.

Planning note. Kenilworth has designated conservation areas and a number of listed frontages. Conservation status can remove permitted development rights on front elevations, and an Article 4 direction can tighten that further. Replacing like-for-like in timber is rarely a problem; changing the material or the glazing pattern usually is. We produce the elevations, sections and written specification a planning or listed building consent application needs. Check with Warwickshire planning before ordering.

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 do conservation officers usually object to?
Wrong material, wrong glazing pattern, and mouldings that are close but not right. Timber matching the original pattern is rarely refused.
What drawings will I need for an application?
Usually an elevation at 1:20, a section through the door and frame showing mouldings, and a written specification of timber, finish and glazing. We produce these.
What door suits a Victorian terrace?
A four-panel door with a bolection moulding and an etched or obscured upper light. Stile widths matter — narrow modern stiles make the proportions look wrong immediately.
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.
How secure is a timber door?
A well-built timber door with a multipoint lock and reinforced keeps is at least as secure as a composite equivalent. The lock and the frame fixings matter more than the leaf material.
