Timber Front Doors in Guildford
Laminated hardwood cores stay straight where solid timber moves. Made to your opening with a matched frame and threshold.
Choosing timber front doors for a property in Guildford is mostly a question of substrate and detail. Get the timber and the sections right and the finish looks after itself for decades.
What is included
- Stainless or solid brass ironmongery, because plated steel fails first and takes the finish with it.
- Glazing beaded internally, so the sealed units can be replaced without disturbing the external finish.
- Kiln-dried to 12% moisture content before machining, so the sections stay true once they are installed.
- Stainless or solid brass ironmongery, because plated steel fails first and takes the finish with it.
The case for front doors in Guildford is straightforward — hardwood outlasts the alternatives, can be repaired rather than replaced, and holds the character of the building.

Guide price →Questions
Will the timber warp or stick?
Not if it is specified correctly. Sticking comes from moisture ingress into unsealed end grain, or from solid stock used where laminated sections were needed. Kiln-dried timber, sealed end grain, factory finishing and engineered sections on longer spans between them eliminate it.
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.
