Timber Fire Doors in Bicester
Timber Fire Doors made to measure for homes across Bicester, surveyed on site and finished in the workshop before they are hung.
Specifying a door for Bicester
Bicester 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 Bicester is largely recent estate and mixed modern stock, which suits square-cut contemporary doors with a long vertical glazed light. We match the mouldings and panel proportions to what is already on the street rather than fitting a generic pattern.

Common questions
What does FD30 actually mean?
The doorset resists fire for 30 minutes when tested as a complete assembly. The rating belongs to the doorset — leaf, frame, seals and ironmongery — not the leaf alone.
What door suits a modern estate house?
A square-cut contemporary door with a long vertical glazed light, usually in a factory-sprayed colour. Timber gives a warmth that composite doors on the same street do not have.
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.
How long does a made-to-measure timber door take?
Most doors run six to ten weeks from survey to fitting, depending on the specification and the finish. Repairs and re-hangs are usually inside three weeks. We confirm dates at survey rather than guessing at enquiry stage.
Will a timber door swell and stick?
Timber moves with humidity, which is why clearances, sealed end grain and a breathable finish matter. A door made to the correct moisture content and finished on all six faces stays workable through the seasons.
