Specifying a door for Calne
Calne 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 Calne 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.

Common questions
What is lift-and-slide?
Turning the handle lifts the sash off its seals onto rollers, so it glides. Releasing it drops the sash back down and compresses the seals, which is why it holds weather far better than a simple slider.
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 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.
