Hardwood French Doors in Kent
French doors in solid hardwood with rebated meeting stiles, multi-point locking and a low-threshold option for level access.
The case for hardwood french doors in Kent is straightforward — hardwood outlasts the alternatives, can be repaired rather than replaced, and holds the character of the building.
Specified for Kent properties
- Weathered cills with a proper drip groove, so water leaves the timber instead of tracking back under it.
- Glazing beaded internally, so the sealed units can be replaced without disturbing the external finish.
- Trickle ventilation designed into the head where Building Regulations require it, not drilled in afterwards.
- Kiln-dried to 12% moisture content before machining, so the sections stay true once they are installed.
- Engineered laminated sections on anything over 1.2m, which resist bowing far better than solid stock.
Every hardwood french doors we make in Kent starts the same way: a surveyor measures the actual opening, records the existing profiles and checks how the reveal sits. Nothing is ordered from a catalogue.

Questions
Do you repair windows or only replace them?
We repair wherever repair is the right answer. Rot is normally localised in a cill or the bottom of a stile, and splicing in new hardwood is typically a third of the cost of replacement. We will tell you honestly at survey which way the economics fall.
Can you match existing windows?
Yes. That is most of what we do. We record the existing sections at survey, reproduce the mouldings and sightlines, and match the finish. On listed buildings we will produce like-for-like profile drawings for the consent application.
Are hardwood windows secure?
Yes. Multi-point locking, laminated glass options and key-locking handles are all available, and a solid hardwood frame is considerably harder to attack than a hollow plastic one. We can specify to PAS 24 where a planning condition or insurer requires it.
Do you take away the old windows?
Yes. Removal and responsible disposal are included, along with making good internally. We work one opening at a time so the property is never left open, and we clear the site each day.
How much disruption should I expect?
Less than most people fear. A straightforward replacement is one opening at a time, typically two to four windows a day. Scaffolding is only needed on higher elevations. We protect floors and furniture and leave the site clean each evening.
