Measure and approve
Your fitter sends us the measurements, or we can recommend one who’ll survey for you. We’ll draw your door to scale and design the stained glass to suit. Nothing is made until you’ve signed it off.

A small team of joiners
and glaziers.
We’re the front door artisans. A small team of designers and craftspeople who take pride in creating traditional front doors for period homes. Our work is defined by meticulous attention to detail, genuine craftsmanship, and a focus on delivering a great experience for every customer.
Our design studio in London works closely with customers to create bespoke door and glazing designs. Each door is then handcrafted in our specialist workshop in Europe by skilled joiners using traditional techniques and high-quality materials. This partnership allows us to combine British design with exceptional European craftsmanship, resulting in beautifully made doors that are built to last.

What’s included with your door
We keep the process simple - guiding you through design, manufacture and delivery, without unnecessary extras or complications.
Primed, ready to paint
Doors and frames arrive primed in white, ready for painting in the colour of your choice.
Your choice of locks and furniture
Doors come without locks or door furniture, so you can pick hardware to suit your style and budget.
Fitted by your own installer
Installation isn’t included. Use your own joiner, or we can recommend trusted fitters.
Every door we make is for someone’s home, so I stay involved from the first sketch to the day it’s fitted. If you have a question, you’ll usually be talking to me.

Questions
Front door
questions, answered.
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Send us a message and we’ll come back to you.
Do you install the doors?
Installation isn’t included. Most customers use their own joiner or carpenter, and we’re happy to recommend trusted installers in the London area.
Can I change the number of bottom panels?
Yes. Every door is made to order, so you can adjust the panel layout, including the number of bottom panels, to suit your home. We’ll show you the changes on the drawings before anything is made.
Do you come to my house to measure up?
We ask your fitter to send us the measurements, or in the London area we can recommend one who’ll survey for you. We then draw your door to scale for you to check and approve.
Do you paint the door?
Doors and frames arrive primed in white, ready for painting once they’re fitted. We don’t offer a topcoat service, as painting is best done on site after installation, and it means you can choose your exact colour and finish.
Do you supply locks and door furniture?
No. Doors are supplied without hardware, so you can choose locks, handles and letterplates to suit your style and budget. We’re happy to advise on what you’ll need and recommend trusted suppliers.
How long does a made-to-measure period front door take to make?
It’s typically around 10–12 weeks from order to delivery, and up to 18 weeks in busier periods. We’ll confirm the timeframe at the start and keep you updated throughout.
Which timber can I choose?
We make doors in solid oak, sapele or Accoya. Oak is strong with a smooth texture and works well painted. Sapele has a rich grain that suits a natural wood finish. Accoya is a modified timber that is exceptionally stable, so it resists swelling, shrinking and rot. We’ll help you choose.
What finish does my door need for the guarantee?
Use a high-quality, oil-based exterior paint system designed for timber, with at least three coats. If you’re staining, seal it with a UV-resistant exterior top coat. Our care guide has full details.
