Timber doors in Ambleside
What makes Timber French Doors work in Ambleside is usually invisible once it is finished. Property here runs to Lakeland slate cottages, Georgian Carlisle stock and coastal industrial terraces, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. The exposure here is the highest rainfall in England with severe upland exposure, which is exactly the condition that causes sustained saturation decay and finish failure within short recoating cycles. Our focus on this is matched pairs that stay aligned through a full seasonal cycle.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
One local point to factor in: Lake District National Park controls window style closely across the central valleys.

Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
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.
How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
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.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
