Custom Doors

Custom Doors

At Cavendish & Cole, we create bespoke timber custom doors that make a statement—designed to reflect the character of your property, stand up to daily use, and deliver long-lasting beauty.

Handcrafted entrances with timeless appeal

Whether you’re restoring a Victorian front door, adding a grand Georgian entrance, or crafting something entirely unique, our custom doors are built with care in our Sussex joinery workshop and installed across Kent, Surrey, and Sussex.

Made to Measure. Made to Last.

Every door we produce is tailored to your exact requirements, using traditional techniques and sustainably sourced hardwoods or Accoya. We specialise in working with period homes, listed properties, and conservation areas where authenticity and detail matter.

We offer:

Front entrance doors – panelled, glazed or solid
French doors – full-height glazed or with bespoke mouldings
Stable doors – ideal for country homes and cottages
Internal feature doors – for hallways, kitchens, and utility spaces
Arched or shaped doors – made to match heritage openings
Options for heritage ironmongery, detailed panelling, and decorative glass

Traditional Craftsmanship Meets Modern Performance

Our doors are made using mortice and tenon joinery, traditional mouldings, and hand-applied finishes. But behind the classic appearance lies impressive performance:

Excellent thermal insulation – using quality timbers and double glazing where suitable
Superior weather resistance – with protective coatings and durable seals
Enhanced security – multipoint locking and solid ironmongery
Low maintenance – especially with Accoya timber
Bespoke paint or stain finishes – including heritage colour matching

We ensure your door doesn’t just look the part—it performs flawlessly for years to come.

Ideal for Period Homes & Listed Buildings

We work closely with homeowners, architects, and conservation officers to deliver heritage-friendly door replacements that meet strict planning guidelines.

Exact replication of original panel layouts and profiles
Use of approved timbers and glazing materials
Specialist glazing options including Slimlite, obscured, or decorative patterned glass
Advice and support with planning permission applications if required

Whether replacing a decayed original or designing a historically accurate new entrance, we’ll ensure every detail is in keeping with your home’s period and setting.
