Greater London is a county of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, Georgian townhouses and post-war conversions, where no two chimney alcoves are the same width. 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
A hardwood 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 Greater London 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.

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 Greater London — common questions
Can you make a curved or arched door?
Yes, with a laminated head to match the opening. See our hardwood arches for how the curve is formed.
Which hardwood for an external door?
Accoya or iroko facing weather, oak where the building calls for it. South and west elevations take the most punishment and justify the more stable option.
Can you match existing doors in a house?
Yes. We take the panel layout, the moulding profile and the stile widths off an original so a replacement reads as part of the set rather than a substitution.
Are hardwood doors fire rated?
FD30 and FD60 doorsets are available but must be built as a certified assembly — door, frame, intumescent and ironmongery tested together. A hardwood door with a strip added afterwards is not rated.
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.
