Timber doors in Braintree
Most Door Frames and Linings enquiries we take in Braintree start with an opening that is not a standard size. You are mostly dealing with estuary bungalows, 1930s ribbon development and timber-framed village stock around here, so openings vary more than people expect. The weather does the rest: the driest climate in the UK with sharp summer heat here, and shrinkage cracking and glazing bead failure from repeated drying cycles as the predictable result. In practice that means frames made to the structural opening rather than a nominal size.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
Worth knowing locally: low rainfall shifts the risk from rot toward movement and seal failure.

What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
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.
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.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
Do you take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
