Devon is a county of cob and stone cottages, Georgian terraces in the cities and steep coastal conversions. 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 Devon 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
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.

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
Bespoke Internal Doors in Devon — common questions
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.
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.
How do I pay, and when?
A deposit at order to cover materials, a stage payment when the work leaves the workshop, and the balance on completion after you have inspected the fit. Everything is written into the quotation before you commit.
