Door Fitting in Period Properties
Out-of-Square Openings
Door openings in Victorian and Edwardian properties are almost never square. Settled foundations and old lime mortar leave frames out of plumb. Your joiner scribes and fits to produce a result that looks square.
Door Linings and Frames
Where original door linings are damaged or missing, your joiner installs new linings before hanging the door. In Mapperley Park, original door casings and architrave profiles are part of the property’s character. Lace City Joinery also covers skirting and architrave.
Fire Doors
Required in houses of multiple occupation and advisable where the staircase connects to the kitchen. Your joiner fits certified fire doors with intumescent seals and closers.
Pre-Order Assessment
Your joiner assesses openings at the survey visit and advises before any doors are ordered. This avoids ordering standard doors to openings that require a custom size.
Internal Doors by Property Type
Victorian and Edwardian Properties
Four-panel or six-panel Victorian doors are part of the property’s character. Your joiner sources period-appropriate replacements or re-hangs and refurbishes originals where they are structurally sound.
1930s Properties
Three-panel or two-panel doors, often with glazed upper panels. Replacements work best when they replicate the original configuration.
New Build Properties
Standard-size openings with plumb frames make fitting more straightforward. Contemporary flat-panel or oak veneer doors suit these properties.
Whole-House Replacement
Replacing all internal doors as a programme is more cost-effective per door. Your joiner completes a full house in two to four days, depending on door count.
External and Front Doors
Front Door Replacement
The front door is the most visible element of a property’s exterior. Victorian properties suit solid timber doors with period moulding profiles. Edwardian and 1930s properties suit solid or part-glazed timber front doors.
Thermal Performance
Replacement front doors should be A-rated thermally and fitted with appropriate weather seals. Your joiner advises on options that improve energy performance without compromising period appearance.
Rear and Bi-Fold Doors
Rear door replacement covers single, bi-fold, and sliding configurations. Bi-fold doors as part of a kitchen-diner project are a common brief. See our house extensions page.
Your joiner supplies and installs, or installs customer-supplied external doors.
The Door Fitting Process
1. Survey Visit
Your joiner assesses each door opening, confirms sizes, and checks whether existing frames are sound.
2. Specification Review
If you have already selected doors, your joiner reviews the specification before you commit.
3. Ordering
Doors are supplied through trade accounts, or you can source from your preferred supplier.
4. Installation
Linings installed first if required. Doors hung, architrave fitted, hardware installed.
5. Sign-Off
Every door checked for smooth operation, correct gap tolerances, and secure latch engagement.
