Timber doors in Hitchin
People come to us about Timber French Doors in Hitchin once the cheap option has already failed. Around here it is garden city stock, Georgian market town frontages and commuter-belt detached housing, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. Locally you are contending with moderate rainfall with cold inland frosts, so frost damage to end grain and swelling on unbalanced-finished units is the fault we are called out to. The value is in matched pairs that stay aligned through a full seasonal cycle, not in the timber bill.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
Worth knowing locally: garden city areas carry design codes that restrict window style changes.

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.
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 fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
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 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.
