Timber doors · within the M25
Bespoke timber doors for London homes.
Front doors, French doors and internal joinery — made to match the windows they sit alongside.
What we make
The door the house was drawn with
A front door is the one piece of joinery every visitor stands in front of, and on a period house it is usually the piece that has been replaced worst. Panel proportions drift, the mouldings get flattened, the glazing goes from six panes to one. We draw the door from what the elevation asks for — the same stile widths, the same panel layout, the same moulding section as the windows above it — and build it in timber that will take paint and keep taking it.
What we make
Front doors
Drawn to the elevation, with multipoint locking and laminated glass where the glazing is at reachable height.
French doors
A pair opening from the middle, in timber for period rear elevations where aluminium would look wrong.
Internal doors
Panel doors matched to what survives elsewhere in the house, rather than a stock size trimmed to fit.
Matched to your windows
The same profiles and the same paint, so the door and the windows read as one piece of work rather than two orders.
Common questions
Can you match a door to the ones on my street?
Usually. Terraces were built to a pattern, so the surviving original doors along a street are the best reference there is. Send us photographs of one you like, or point us at the number, and we will draw from that rather than from a catalogue.
Do I need permission to change my front door?
In a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, often yes — and on a listed building, listed building consent covers the front door as part of the character of the property. Flats never had permitted development rights. We will tell you what applies to your address before anything is made, but the decision rests with your conservation officer.
Timber or composite for a front door?
Composite doors perform well and need less maintenance, which is why they are everywhere. On a period elevation they tend to give themselves away in the proportions and the moulding, because they are moulded rather than made. If the front of your house is the reason you bought it, timber is usually the answer. If it is a rear or side door nobody looks at, it may not be worth the difference.
