Hampshire is a county of Georgian naval-town housing, thatched village cottages and extensive modern estates. That is exactly the kind of building stock a front door has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
Walls in Hampshire are rarely square and floors are rarely level. A front door that is built in a workshop to a nominal size will show every millimetre of that. We survey first, scribe on site, and finish so the joint line disappears.
How we build it
Carcass work is birch ply or MR MDF depending on span and load. Face frames and doors are solid hardwood. Everything is machined on the same setting so stiles, rails and reveals line through, and shadow gaps stay parallel from one end of the run to the other.
Finish and materials
Finishing happens in the workshop wherever possible. Sprayed paint gives an even film that brushwork cannot match, and the only work left on site is the final touch-in around scribes and fixings.

Straight answers
Timber Front Doors in Hampshire — common questions
How secure is a bespoke timber door?
As secure as you specify. A multipoint lock into a reinforced frame, hinge bolts, and a three-star cylinder gives you a door that meets the standards insurers ask about. The frame fixing matters as much as the lock.
How long does a front door take?
Eight to ten weeks. The door is made, primed, glazed and finished in the workshop, and fitting takes a day. We can hang a temporary door if the opening cannot be left.
What finish lasts longest outside?
A factory-applied microporous paint system in a mid or light colour. Dark colours on a south-facing door get very hot and stress the finish. Expect to wash it annually and recoat every six to eight years.
What timber is best for a front door?
Accoya for a painted door — it is modified softwood that barely moves and carries long guarantees on the finish. European oak for a natural door, accepting it will silver unless it is maintained. Both far outlast standard softwood.
What guarantee do you give?
Ten years on workmanship. Hardware carries the manufacturer's warranty, which on good runners and hinges is usually lifetime. Finishes are guaranteed for five years against flaking or delamination in normal domestic use.
