Below are examples of the types of doors we sell.

These are all original reclaimed period doors, we do not make any doors or sell modern doors.

Victorian 4-panel
 
This is the most popular style of reclaimed door. They look great in both old period properties and also in modern contempory homes. They may have a beading around the panels on one or both sides of the door or they may have no beading - square edged. They are very well made, with strong mortice and tenon joints - which means the size can easily be adjusted by cutting down the sides or top/bottom.

Victorian 4-panel glazed
 
Most of these doors were made solid, but it is a relatively straightforward process to change the top 2 wooden panels for glass.

We can do this to order to any of our 4-panel doors. We charge a fixed price of £90 to remove the top 2 panels and supply and fit new laminated (for safety and security) clear or opaque glass.

1930's 1 Panel Door
 
This is a less common style of door found in 1930's houses. As with most 1930's doors it is made from Pitch Pine - slightly darker and denser that the victorian golden pine.
These doors make a nice change from the usual 1 over 3 style. Many people re-paint these doors but they can also be waxed, varnished or stained etc.

These doors are very popular with people restoring pre-war houses back to their original features. Many people re-paint these doors but they can also be waxed, varnished or stained etc.

These are very nice doors - most doors from large houses in the Georgian period are in this style. They are usually made from the nice golden pine. Doors of this style were also made in the Victorian period.
