• Solid oak: ready assembled or in kit form |

|
We have been making ledged and boarded doors since 1985 and they now grace homes - from flats to manor houses throughout the U.K. They have been written about in local and national press and in many home improvement and period home magazines. Elegantly simple in their construction, they are purchased by professional and amateur alike, both in kit form and fully assembled. All the wood shown on this website is oak unless otherwise stated. Two versions are offered: assembled or in kit form. You would save about £40 by putting it together yourself. A choice of wide or narrow boards is offered (see photos below). Wide board doors consist of 4 wide vertical planks (for doors over 686mm) and three 175mm wide horizontal ledges.

Door Kits
The traditional ledged and boarded door has been proven through the centuries. It is easy for anyone with fairly basic knowledge of carpentry to assemble the door from components. The vertical boards are assembled by pushing the tongues and grooves together, while the ledges are cut to length and screwed to them.
The ledges are then grooved to take a matching wooden bead. This is pressed into place to hide the screw heads, as well as adding an attractive detail to the door.
Each door kit is supplied with boards cut to the width and length specified. If requested the boards can be left long – ideal for awkward shaped doorways in old houses. The kit consists of vertical boards, horizontal ledges, cover beads and screws.
In order to keep our prices competitive, we do not polish the doors, but every kit or assembled door is supplied with a fine finish for you to stain or polish. We recommend using Osmo Poly-X Oil.
Remember! We can cut to your door opening size.

Oak ledged door components
For those who wish to make up their own doors completely then we are happy to supply you with individual oak door boards, ledges and braces. As individual requirements will differ, we suggest you ring us for prices and delivery charges. However, if you are within easy distance then why not call us and save yourself the carriage charge?
We can usually supply door components from stock, as most kit and assembled doors have to be cut to size, so you will enjoy a speedier delivery.
