Timber Garage Doors in Peebles
We make and fit Timber Garage Doors throughout Peebles — measured properly, built from timber chosen for the exposure, and adjusted once they are in.
Specifying a door for Peebles
Peebles 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 Peebles 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. Peebles 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 Scottish Borders planning before ordering.

Common questions
Which garage door type suits timber best?
Side-hung, because the weight is carried on hinges rather than a mechanism. Up-and-over in timber works but the gear must be specified for the weight.
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.
What ironmongery do you supply?
Everything from period butt hinges and rim locks to modern multipoint systems, in finishes from polished brass to satin stainless. Coastal sites get marine-grade stainless as standard.
Can you fit a cat flap or letter plate?
Both, and it is better done in the workshop where the aperture can be sealed properly rather than cut on site.
