Timber doors in Colchester
Timber French Doors is one of those jobs in Colchester where the survey decides everything. Local stock is dominated by estuary bungalows, 1930s ribbon development and timber-framed village stock, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. What accelerates it is the driest climate in the UK with sharp summer heat, and shrinkage cracking and glazing bead failure from repeated drying cycles follows sooner than owners expect. What we concentrate on 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. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
Worth knowing locally: low rainfall shifts the risk from rot toward movement and seal failure.

Verified client, EssexColchester questions
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.
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.
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.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
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.
