Cardiff is a county of Victorian bay-fronted terraces on a grid, with steady period refurbishment. That is exactly the kind of building stock a set of internal doors 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
Walls in Cardiff are rarely square and floors are rarely level. A set of internal doors that is built in a workshop to a nominal size will show every millimetre of that. We survey first, scribe on site, and finish so the joint line disappears.
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
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.

Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Bespoke Internal Doors in Cardiff — common questions
Do bespoke doors have to be solid timber?
No, and often they should not be. An engineered core with a solid hardwood lipping and a veneered or paint-grade face is far more stable across a heated house than solid timber, and it will not twist.
Can a door be glazed?
Yes. Obscure or clear glazing into a moulded frame. Any glass in a door below 1,500mm from floor level must be safety glass to Part N — we specify it as standard.
How much bigger than the opening should the door be?
The door is made to the frame, not the opening. We survey the frame, check it for square and wind, and make the door to suit with a 3mm gap on the sides and top and a floor gap to match your finished flooring.
Why not just buy a standard door?
If your opening matches a stock size, do. Period houses rarely do — original openings are frequently 30 to 80mm off any standard, and cutting a stock door down that far removes the stile and weakens it.
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.
