Timber Front Doors in Laugharne
Laminated hardwood cores stay straight where solid timber moves. Made to your opening with a matched frame and threshold.
Our timber front doors are made from kiln-dried hardwood, machined in the workshop and factory-finished before they ever reach a Laugharne site. Wet-brushing on site is where timber windows get a bad name.
What is included
- End-grain sealed at every cut before assembly — the single detail that decides whether joinery rots.
- Micro-porous finishes that let the timber breathe rather than trapping moisture behind a hard film.
- Factory-finished in controlled conditions — three coats minimum, fully cured before delivery.
- End-grain sealed at every cut before assembly — the single detail that decides whether joinery rots.
Homeowners across Laugharne come to us for front doors after a uPVC replacement has aged badly. Timber is the material you specify when you intend to still be happy with it in twenty years.
Everything is made to order, so the quotation stage matters. We would rather spend an extra hour on the survey than get a section wrong.

Questions
How long do hardwood windows actually last?
Properly specified and maintained hardwood joinery has a realistic service life of 60 years or more. The timber is rarely what fails — it is the finish and the seals, and both are renewable. That is the fundamental advantage over uPVC, where a failed unit or a distorted frame means the whole window goes.
Are timber windows warm enough for Building Regulations?
Yes, comfortably. Timber is a natural insulator with far lower conductivity than aluminium or steel. A standard hardwood double-glazed window achieves around 1.2–1.4 W/m²K whole-window, against a 1.4 requirement for replacements. Triple glazing in a deeper section will reach roughly 0.8.
Can I have double glazing in a conservation area?
Usually, yes — using slim-profile sealed units as narrow as 11mm, which fit within traditional glazing bar sections without fattening them. Conservation officers vary, so we specify from the outset to whatever the local authority has stated and provide section drawings for the application.
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.
