Our Door Installation Process

Choosing a new door is a big decision, and our team is here to make that process straightforward. Our craftsmen are highly trained joiners who understand the technical challenges of door design, ensuring your project runs smoothly from start to finish.

Design Consultation

Your door journey begins with a conversation. We’ll take the time to listen to your ideas, review your requirements, and explore different design possibilities with you. This stage is all about collaboration, helping you to visualise how different styles, materials, and finishes could work for your property, while remaining practical for everyday use.

Choose from Quality Materials

Selecting the right material has a huge impact on both durability and style. We use premium hardwoods to your specification:

·        External Doors: Sapele, Iroko, Oak (weather-resistant hardwoods built to withstand all types of weather)

·        Internal Doors: Ash, Meranti, Utile (lightweight elegance for interior spaces)

We prefer not to make doors in Redwood as problems can arise with cracking, warping & twisting.

Many of our clients also opt for custom features such as stained-glass panels, carved details, or heritage ironmongery, creating a unique look that sets their door apart.

Ensuring Every Detail Delivers

Once the design is agreed, we make sure it not only suits your property but also meets all necessary standards. Weather resistance, security features, and precise measurements are all carefully checked so that your door performs as well as it looks.

The approved design is then crafted in our Manchester workshop using traditional mortise & tenon joints reinforced with industrial-grade PUR glue for unbreakable durability. Every detail is cut and assembled with care.

Door Fitting

Once your door is ready, our joiners will bring it to site and fit it in place. The fitting is done by our own team, not subcontractors, so you know the same people who built your door are the ones making sure it’s installed correctly.
