Frequently Asked questions
What is a heritage timber door?
A heritage timber do is a door designed to preserve the original character (e.g. Georgian, Edwardian, Victorian) of an older property.
While this door looks like the original, it has modern benefits like double glazing and improved security.
What are the planning regulations surrounding heritage timber doors?
As a general rule of thumb, you need to ensure your doors get replaced on a ‘like-for-like’ basis.
Planning regulations are stricter for listed buildings than period properties and buildings in conservation areas.
The exact regulations can vary depending on the area you’re in – if in doubt, we recommend getting in touch with your local planning department.
We can help you through the process, letting you know if you need to get consent and ensuring your new heritage timber doors comply with regulations.
How long do timber doors last?
A fantastic benefit of timber doors (especially if you use a hardwood like oak or a modified wood like Accoya) is that they’re hard-wearing and very durable.
A high-quality, well-maintained door can last 60 years or even longer.
How much do bespoke timber heritage doors cost?
It depends on the wood you choose and the complexity of the door. Heritage timber doors are typically more expensive than standard doors as they can be more ornate, plus you have to take planning costs into account.
However as they last so long they provide a great return on investment. We’re happy to offer a free quote – get in touch with our friendly team to find out more.
