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. We scribe and fit to produce a result that looks square.
Door Linings and Frames
Where original door linings are damaged or missing, we install new linings before hanging the door. In Mapperley Park, original door casings and architrave profiles are part of the property’s character. We also cover skirting and architrave.
Fire Doors
Required in houses of multiple occupation and advisable where the staircase connects to the kitchen. We fit certified fire doors with intumescent seals and closers.
Pre-Order Assessment
We assess openings at the survey visit and advise 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. We source period-appropriate replacements or re-hang and refurbish 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. We complete 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. We advise 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.
We supply and install, or install customer-supplied external doors.
