Timber doors in St Albans
The hard part of Timber French Doors in St Albans is not the making, it is the measuring. You are mostly dealing with garden city stock, Georgian market town frontages and commuter-belt detached housing around here, so openings vary more than people expect. Then there is moderate rainfall with cold inland frosts, which reliably produces frost damage to end grain and swelling on unbalanced-finished units given enough seasons. The detail we will not compromise on is matched pairs that stay aligned through a full seasonal cycle.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
A detail specific to this area: garden city areas carry design codes that restrict window style changes.

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.
