Customisation

Tailored to your home

We'll visit, measure, photograph and discuss. If you have any original detailing, we'll match it. If the door is long gone, we'll suggest the period-correct option for the property style.

Ideal for

Property suitability

Grade I and II listed homes, conservation-area properties, restoration projects where the previous door was unsympathetically replaced, and properties where the front door needs to make a confident period statement.

Installation

How we fit it

Period door installation often involves reveal repairs, lintel checks and threshold rebuilds. We'll handle the full scope so you're not coordinating multiple trades.

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.
