Timber Front Doors in Nottinghamshire
Laminated hardwood cores stay straight where solid timber moves. Made to your opening with a matched frame and threshold.
If you have been quoted for timber front doors in Nottinghamshire and the price looked suspiciously round, it was almost certainly a standard size with a filler piece. We do not work that way.
Specified for Nottinghamshire properties
- End-grain sealed at every cut before assembly — the single detail that decides whether joinery rots.
- Compression seals rather than brush pile where the design allows, for a measurably tighter close.
- Micro-porous finishes that let the timber breathe rather than trapping moisture behind a hard film.
- FSC-certified hardwood with documented chain of custody, available on request for planning submissions.
- Factory-finished in controlled conditions — three coats minimum, fully cured before delivery.
Most timber front doors enquiries we take from Nottinghamshire start with a photograph and a rough measurement. That is enough for an indicative figure — the survey firms it up.
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
Can you fit trickle vents?
Where Building Regulations require background ventilation, we design it into the head of the frame at manufacture. That looks far better and performs far better than a vent drilled through a finished frame on site.
Do you work on listed buildings?
Regularly. Listed building consent turns on detail — sightlines, glazing bar sections, opening method and glass type. We survey the existing joinery, record the profiles and produce drawings you can submit. We will not quote a detail we know will not pass.
How much maintenance do they need?
Far less than people expect. Wash the frames twice a year, inspect the finish annually, and expect to recoat exposed elevations every eight to ten years. Sheltered elevations often go considerably longer. Modern micro-porous coatings are a different product entirely from the gloss paints that gave timber its reputation.
Which hardwood should I choose?
It depends on the finish. For painted work, Idigbo and Accoya are excellent — stable, even-grained and superb paint substrates. For a stained or oiled finish where the grain is meant to show, European oak and Sapele are the usual choices. We will recommend a species at survey based on your finish and exposure.
What is Accoya and is it worth the premium?
Accoya is timber that has been acetylated — chemically modified so it no longer absorbs water. It barely moves, does not rot, and carries a 50-year above-ground warranty. It is the single best paint substrate available. For exposed elevations and coastal sites the premium usually pays for itself.
