Timber Door Restoration in Leamington Spa
Our Timber Door Restoration are made to order for Leamington Spa, spray-finished and cured before delivery so the door arrives protected.
Specifying a door for Leamington Spa
Leamington Spa 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 Leamington Spa is largely Georgian and Regency townhouse stock, which suits six-panel raised-and-fielded doors set under a radial fanlight. We match the mouldings and panel proportions to what is already on the street rather than fitting a generic pattern.

Planning note. Leamington Spa 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
When is a door worth restoring?
If the stiles and panels are sound, restoration is nearly always cheaper and better than replacement. Rot confined to the bottom rail or the foot of a stile can be spliced out.
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 Georgian townhouse?
Six raised-and-fielded panels under a fanlight, in a painted finish. Proportion is everything: the panels step in size up the door rather than repeating equally.
How do I look after the finish?
Wash the door twice a year with mild soapy water and check the bottom rail and cill for standing water. Recoating intervals depend on exposure and aspect — south and west elevations go first.
What if my opening is not square?
Very few are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several heights and the door is made to suit, with the frame packed and scribed on fitting.
