What we see in Cumbria
Getting Timber Front Doors right in Cumbria depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. Local property is overwhelmingly Lakeland slate cottages, Georgian Carlisle stock and coastal industrial terraces, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. Locally you are contending with the highest rainfall in England with severe upland exposure, so sustained saturation decay and finish failure within short recoating cycles is the fault we are called out to. What we concentrate on is sets where the door and frame are made together so they stay aligned.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
One thing that catches people out here: Lake District National Park controls window style closely across the central valleys.

Do you cover Cumbria?
Yes. We cover the whole of Cumbria including Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness, Kendal, Whitehaven and the surrounding villages. Lake District National Park controls window style closely across the central valleys. Because the highest rainfall in England with severe upland exposure, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
