Specifying a door for Pontardawe
Pontardawe sees a normal share of west-coast weather without the salt load of a seafront opening. Engineered stiles and a properly sealed bottom rail handle it comfortably.
Housing in and around Pontardawe 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
Do both leaves need to open?
Not necessarily. A fixed slave leaf with flush bolts is more weathertight and cheaper; make both leaves working only if you will actually use the full width.
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.
Do I need building regulations approval?
Replacing a door like-for-like usually does not need approval, but the new door must meet current thermal and safety-glazing standards. We specify to comply as standard.
Can you make non-standard shapes?
Arched heads, splayed jambs, tapered cills and out-of-square openings are routine. Old buildings are rarely square and we build to the opening as found.
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.
