Front Door Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a new timber front door cost?

The cost of a new timber front door can vary depending on the size, design, type of wood, and any additional features like glazing or custom finishes. On average, you can expect to pay between £1,000 and £3,000 for a high-quality bespoke wooden front door, including installation. Custom designs or premium hardwoods may cost more.

What kind of wood is best for a front door?

The best wood for a front door depends on your needs and preferences. Hardwood options like oak, mahogany, and teak are excellent for durability and weather resistance. Accoya is another popular choice due to its stability and resistance to rot. For a balance of performance and appearance, oak is often considered the best all-round timber for front doors.

Is a wooden front door a good idea?

Yes, a wooden front door is a great choice if you’re looking for character, insulation, and long-term value. Timber doors offer natural beauty, can be customised easily, and are long-lasting with proper maintenance. They also provide excellent thermal and sound insulation compared to uPVC or metal alternatives.

Are timber doors expensive?

Timber doors can be more expensive upfront than mass-produced alternatives like composite or uPVC doors. However, their longevity, custom appeal, and the added value to your property make them a worthwhile investment. The price reflects the quality of materials and craftsmanship involved in making bespoke wooden doors.

How thick should a wooden front door be?

A solid timber front door should generally be between 44mm and 56mm thick for optimal strength and insulation. Thicker doors offer better security, improved energy efficiency, and a more premium feel. Our bespoke front doors are crafted to suit your needs while meeting modern standards.

What is the most durable wood for exterior doors?

Teak, Accoya, and solid oak are among the most durable woods for exterior doors. These timbers are naturally resistant to moisture, decay, and insects, making them ideal for harsh weather conditions. If maintained regularly, they can last for decades without warping or cracking.

How long do wooden exterior doors last?

With the right care, a wooden exterior door can last 30 years or more. Regular maintenance such as sealing, painting, or staining will protect the timber from moisture and sunlight. Choosing a high-quality wood and professional installation also contributes to the door’s longevity.

Should a front door have a window?

Adding a window to your front door is a personal choice and depends on the style you’re aiming for. Glazed panels can let in natural light and enhance curb appeal, but you should consider privacy and security. We offer various window options with double glazing and toughened glass for added protection.

What is the best colour for a wooden front door?

The best colour for your wooden front door depends on your home’s exterior and your personal taste. Popular choices include deep blue, forest green, black, and classic natural wood finishes. Painted or stained finishes can also protect the timber and highlight the grain, offering both style and durability.

Do you replace damaged front doors?

Yes, we can replace your front door, whether it is due to deterioration or due to force entry or burglary damage.
