How Much Do Timber Doors Cost?

Imagine the feeling of pride every time you open your front door. That's the power of a beautifully crafted timber door. At Hadham Group, we create bespoke timber doors that reflect your style and welcome you home with timeless elegance.

And the best part? You can enjoy premium quality without the wait – your bespoke door will be ready in under 8 weeks. Let's explore the costs.

What Makes a Timber Door Unique (and Affects the Cost)

Now, you're probably wondering, "Okay, this sounds amazing, but what about the price tag?" That's a great question! Let's explore the key elements that contribute to the cost of a timber door:

First things first, the wood itself

Think of it like choosing the foundation of your door. We offer a variety of options, each with its own character and price point:

Softwoods

  • Pine: A fantastic choice for those seeking quality and value. It's versatile and readily available, making it a budget-friendly option. A basic pine door starts at £3,950.

Hardwoods

  • Meranti: Want something a bit more robust? Meranti is a hardwood known for its rich colour and resistance to the elements. It's a step up in durability and price.
  • Oak: Ah, oak! The classic choice for timeless elegance. It's strong, boasts gorgeous grain patterns, and comes with a premium price tag to match its prestige.
  • Accoya: If you're looking for the ultimate in longevity, Accoya is your winner. This modified wood is incredibly stable and resistant to rot, making it a long-lasting investment.

Now, let's talk about personalisation!

This is where your door truly becomes your own. Here are some of the ways you can customise it:

  • Ironmongery: Handles, hinges, letter plates – oh my! The options are endless, and they can make a big difference in both style and cost. From sleek modern designs to classic pieces with intricate detailing, the choice is yours. Your world is your oyster when it comes to Ironmongery but some of our favourites are “From the Anvil”, “Costal” & “Banham”.
  • Design Details: Want to add some extra flair? Consider incorporating panels, decorative Beading, or even bespoke glazing such as stain glass. These details add complexity and artistry to your door, but they also increase the cost.
  • Glass Inserts: Let there be light! From simple obscure glass to stunning stained glass creations, the type and size of glazing you choose will impact the overall price.

Size Matters (and So Does Door Type)

  • Size: This one's pretty straightforward – larger doors require more materials, so they naturally cost more.
  • Door Type: A classic single front door is generally the most affordable option. Double doors or bifold doors, with their more intricate construction, will come with a higher price tag.

The Importance of Expert Installation

While we're happy to supply timber doors for clients who prefer to arrange their own installation, we believe that entrusting the fitting to our highly trained team is the best way to ensure exceptional results. Our skilled installers ensure your door is perfectly fit and sealed for long-term performance – a level of quality that only comes from experienced professionals.

Why? Because proper fitting ensures your door functions smoothly, resists warping, and provides optimal security.

At Hadham Group, we take care of everything, which means we help from the design conception to the installation. Our skilled team will:

  • Protect your home with dust sheets.
  • Carefully remove your existing door.
  • Install your new door, ensuring it's sealed and finished correctly.
  • Conduct a thorough clean-up.
  • Guide you through the features and operation of your new door.

To ensure a smooth installation, we recommend clearing the area around your door and moving any delicate items. Our team is always happy to assist with this upon arrival.

Beyond the Price Tag: The Value of a Timber Door

Of course, the cost is important, but it's equally important to consider the long-term value of a timber door. Here's what makes them a worthwhile investment:

  • Timeless Beauty: The natural grain patterns and warm textures of timber create a welcoming and sophisticated entrance that will never go out of style.
  • Sustainability: Timber is a renewable resource, and at Hadham Group, we can source FSC-certified timber upon request, ensuring responsible forest management.
  • Strength and Security: A well-crafted timber door, properly finished and maintained, offers exceptional strength, weather resistance, and security for your peace of mind.
