Warwickshire is a county of timber-framed Tudor cottages, Regency Leamington terraces and modern commuter 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
A front door is a permanent part of the building, so it is worth setting out properly. We take the survey, agree the drawings, machine the parts in the workshop and fit in Warwickshire in one visit wherever the programme allows.
How we build it
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
Finish and materials
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

What happens next
Four steps, no surprises
Survey
A joiner visits, measures the opening, checks for level and plumb, and talks through how you want to use the space.
Drawings & quote
You get a setting-out drawing and a fixed written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Timber Front Doors in Warwickshire — 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.
Can you match existing joinery in the house?
Yes. We take a profile of the existing skirting, architrave or door and either match it from stock cutters or have a cutter ground so the new work runs identically. Matching an old paint colour is straightforward; matching aged oak takes a sample panel and a couple of attempts, which we build into the programme.
