Worcestershire is a county of black-and-white timber framing, Georgian riverside houses and new-build market towns. 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
The difference between a fitted job and a fitted-looking job is the setting out. For timber front doors in Worcestershire we rod the job first, so what arrives on site already accounts for the bows, the skirting and the ceiling line.
How we build it
Timber is chosen for the room it is going into. Painted work is built in tulipwood and moisture-resistant MDF because they hold a crisp arris and take a sprayed finish without grain rise. Where the grain is meant to be seen we use European oak, walnut or ash, with veneers laid so the figure runs continuously across a set of doors.
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 Worcestershire — common questions
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.
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.
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.
