Wooden doors
Beautiful wooden doors to match your style
Parsons Joinery offers bespoke, high quality wooden external doors made on site in our UK workshop. We work to your specifications – each door is handcrafted to make sure it’s perfect for your property, down to the very last detail. Our products are beautiful, resilient, strong and secure, giving you everything you could want and need from your new external doors.
We’re highly specialised in making joinery for period properties, regularly making windows and doors to suit Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian homes. Our doors will help you preserve the historical charm and character features of your property. We can also design and manufacture joinery for modern properties, assisting you with the design process to ensure the finished product is everything you want it to be.
We work differently to larger door suppliers. For starters, we don’t employ salespeople, just highly skilled joiners and surveyors who know the industry inside out. With any job we undertake, a skilled member of our team will visit your home for a free consultation to listen to your requirements, assess your property and offer you personalised advice on external timber doors.

Replacement external doors for your home
External wood doors can be used to replace existing ones, or you might choose to replace your uPVC or metal door with wood instead. Whatever you’re looking for, we’ll be able to accommodate you – our replacement external doors are manufactured on site to meet your specifications. Whether you’re looking to achieve a particular appearance, you have an unusual opening size, or you’re not quite sure what you need yet, we’ll be able to help.
All our doors are made from solid hardwood that comes from sustainable sources. Whether you’ve always dreamed of a hardwood door, or you want an entrance door that’s painted to match your existing windows, we can accommodate you. Your door will be designed and manufactured to meet your needs – and if you’d like to visit our workshop to see your products being made, we’ll be more than happy to show you around.
We can also advise you on preservation, finishes and joinery maintenance.
How to know if your
external timber doors need replacing
Doors inevitably suffer wear and tear over time, as they’re exposed to everyday use and ever-changing weather conditions. As doors get older, they might suffer damage that affects their appearance and renders them unsafe, making security a real concern too. These are some of the signs that your door might need replacing:
- Loose hinges, or hinges that stick
- Loose or damaged glass panes
- Moisture between panes of glass
- Chips and visible damage to the door itself
- Warping, cracking and weathering to the door
- Gaps between the door and the frame that let in draughts
- Damage to the doorframe
- Handles and door furniture that no longer work effectively
Older external doors are also less energy efficient, so a new external timber door can boost the eco credentials of your property and save you money on your bills.
We’ll be happy to check the condition of your existing doors and give you our expert opinion, helping you decide if the time is right to invest in a new external wooden door for your property. Please contact our team to arrange a free consultation – we’ll visit your property and can give you a full quote for the work involved in designing and manufacturing a new door. Installation is available too if required.

Why is wood a good option
for external doors?
Wood is an excellent option for a wide range of timber doors. Whether you’re looking for front entrance doors, patio doors or internal doors, wood is the ideal choice. Here are some of the reasons why a wooden door could be a good option for you:
- Natural beauty and design flexibility
Wood has unique grain and warmth that give each door character, and it can be carved, stained or painted to match period or modern properties. - Durable and long‑lasting
Properly treated timber doors withstand weather and wear for decades, and solid wood can be sanded and refinished instead of being replaced. - Naturally insulating
Timber naturally regulates indoor temperatures and reduces noise, making wooden doors energy‑efficient and comfortable in all seasons. - Sustainable and repairable
Responsibly sourced wood is renewable and has a smaller carbon footprint than synthetic materials, and minor damage can be repaired by resealing rather than replacing the door. - Adds kerb appeal and value
A well‑designed timber door enhances your home’s curb appeal and can boost its resale value by creating a welcoming first impression.

FAQs about external timber doors
We know how important it is to pick the right company when installing new timber external doors. This is why we have shared below some of the most common questions we get asked about wooden doors. We would be delighted to speak with you about your needs for your external doors.
Matthew & Nathan Smith
Costs vary by size, design and timber type. Hardwood external doors are more expensive than softwood but offer exceptional durability – often lasting 60 years or more. Over time, they’re a sound investment that adds lasting value and character to your home.
Clean your door a few times a year and check for wear or damage. Recoat the finish every 5 to 10 years depending on exposure, and keep hinges and locks oiled for smooth operation. Quality finishes protect the timber and keep maintenance minimal. Find our more about maintaining your timber doors.
If your door is warped, cracked, draughty, or difficult to close, it may be time to replace it. A new bespoke timber door will improve insulation, security, and the overall look of your property.
Timber external doors offer timeless beauty, superior insulation, and the ability to refinish rather than replace. They can last decades longer than uPVC, are naturally energy-efficient, and use sustainably sourced materials, making them both practical and eco-friendly.
