Doors · Front · French · Reproduction

Front doors built to outlast the house they sit in.

The kind of door you walk past on a Sussex high street and stop to look at, and the one that's still hanging straight thirty years from now. Front doors, French sets, bifolds and listed-building reproductions, built in our Uckfield workshop and hung on site.

Hand-built arched double doors with black strap hinges in a red-brick archway

All our doors are mortice-and-tenoned, glued and wedged the old way. No dowel joints, no MDF cores. Where the brief calls for something out of the ordinary, Gothic-arched porch doors, panelled fronts with sidelights and fanlights, double-leaf carriage doors, we'll draw it from scratch with you.

External doors are built in Accoya as standard for a paint finish, or in oak, sapele and European redwood where the timber is meant to be seen. Listed-building reproductions are profile-matched to the original, pegged, beaded, dragon-fronted, whatever the house needs.

We hang the doors ourselves. Frame, threshold, weatherboard, ironmongery, supplied, fitted, signed off. One conversation, one invoice, one team responsible.
