Common Problems With Traditional Timber Doors
Having problems with your external doors? We can assess and repair a wide range of issues, including:
Timber Decay
Prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to rot, soft wood, cracks, and failed joints, particularly around the bottom rail, frame, and glazing areas.
Movement & Warping
Seasonal changes in temperature and humidity can cause timber doors to swell, shrink, twist, or drop, leading to sticking, gaps, or misalignment.
Weather Damage
Peeling paint, failed sealants, and worn finishes allow water ingress, which accelerates deterioration and leaves the door vulnerable to further damage.
Hardware & Draught Issues
Worn hinges, faulty locks, rattling panels, and poor draught sealing can affect both security and energy efficiency.
