Bespoke Wooden Doors

Made-to-measure internal and external doors

Made-to-measure timber doors for any opening, in any style — Shaker, panelled, ledged-and-braced, modern flush, or a one-off design. We make internal and external doors in our workshop, hung in matching timber linings with proper architrave detail.

External doors are built with weather-detailing and threshold design that lasts — drip mouldings, full-height weatherstrip seals, and properly engineered locking.

Customisation

Tailored to your home

Send us a photo of an existing door you want to match — we'll match the panel proportions, mouldings, glazing pattern and hardware. Or sketch what you'd like and we'll draw it up.

Ideal for

Property suitability

Period properties needing a replacement front door that matches the era; internal doors throughout a renovation; barn conversions; new-builds where the architect has specified bespoke joinery.

Installation

How we fit it

External doors are usually fitted in a single day, including frame replacement, weather sealing, locks and ironmongery. Internal door projects are often combined with skirting and architrave to refresh a whole hallway.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Do you work with listed buildings and conservation areas? +
Frequently โ€” a significant portion of our work is for period and listed properties. We can produce drawings, sample sections and historical-detail matches to support conservation officer applications, and we're familiar with the listed-building process across Kent and the London boroughs.
How long does it take from first call to installation? +
A typical project takes 6โ€“12 weeks from initial site visit to install. Survey and design happen in week 1; manufacture in our workshop takes the bulk of the time; installation is usually a few days on site. Larger projects or specialist timber may take longer โ€” we'll be honest about timings at the quote stage.
Do you do free quotes? +
Yes. We'll come out, talk through your project, take measurements and provide a written itemised quote. There's no obligation, no high-pressure follow-up and no fee.
Do you install everything yourselves? +
Yes. Everything we make is fitted by our own team. For kitchens and bedrooms we also coordinate any plumbing, electrical or building work on your behalf so you have a single point of contact.
Where are you based and how far do you travel? +
Our workshop is at Seal Croft Farm in Seal, just outside Sevenoaks. We cover Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Maidstone, Bromley, Orpington and much of central and south London. For larger projects we travel further into Kent and Surrey.
