Cornwall is a county of granite cottages, fishermen's terraces and a strong second-home refurbishment market. That is exactly the kind of building stock a hardwood 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
We build hardwood doors as cabinetmakers rather than fitters: machined joints, real carcass construction, and a finish applied under workshop conditions before anything reaches your Cornwall address.
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
Hardwood Doors in Cornwall — common questions
Do you supply the frame too?
Yes, and we would rather. A good door hung in a twisted frame will never close properly, and door and frame made together means the rebate and the weatherseal actually line up.
What about security?
Multipoint locking, laminated glazing where there is glass, and hinge bolts. Part Q applies to new dwellings and sets a tested standard for the doorset as a whole, not just the lock.
How much do they move seasonally?
An engineered core moves very little. We still set clearances for a wet winter rather than a dry summer, because a door that fits perfectly in August and jams in January was set up in the wrong season.
Solid or engineered core?
Engineered core with hardwood faces for most doors, because a solid slab of hardwood in a heated house will move and eventually bind or twist. Solid is right for smaller doors and where the spec demands it.
Do I need to empty the room before you fit?
Clear the working wall and anything fragile. We bring dust sheets and a vacuum-extracted saw, but fitting makes dust and we would rather your furniture was out of the way. For kitchens we will agree a sequence with you so you keep a sink and a kettle for as long as possible.
