Staffordshire is a county of potteries terraced housing, brick farmhouses and large post-war estates. 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
The difference between a fitted job and a fitted-looking job is the setting out. For hardwood doors in Staffordshire 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
Moisture matters more than most people expect. Timber is conditioned before machining, and anything going into a kitchen, utility or bathroom is specified in materials that will not swell at the bottom edge. That is why the base of a well-made unit still closes cleanly after five winters.
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 Staffordshire — common questions
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 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.
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.
