Bespoke Timber Front Doors Fulham & London | A&J Joinery – Made in SW6

London's Local Front Door Specialists – Designed, Made & Fitted by Us

At A&J Joinery we do one thing exceptionally well: we craft bespoke timber front doors for homes across Fulham, Chelsea, Hammersmith, Putney, Wandsworth and the wider South West and West London area. Unlike suppliers who import off-the-shelf units, we manufacture every door ourselves in our workshop at Arch 9, Munster Road, SW6 — giving you full control over size, timber species, finish, glazing and hardware.

Whether your property is a Victorian terraced house, a Georgian townhouse, a period conversion or a contemporary new build, our joiners draw on over two decades of experience to produce a door that is architecturally faithful, thermally efficient and robustly secure.

We work with all hardwoods — oak, accoya, idigbo, meranti and iroko — as well as sustainable softwoods, and we can replicate any heritage profile or introduce a completely original design. All timber is FSC-certified and responsibly sourced.

Which Timber Is Best for a Front Door in London?

The climate, street exposure and architectural style of your London property all influence the best timber choice. Here is our honest guide:

Accoya® (Our Top Recommendation for London Exposure)

Accoya is an acetylated softwood with the dimensional stability of hardwood and an industry-leading 50-year above-ground guarantee against rot. It paints exceptionally well, holds its shape through London's wet winters and dry summers, and requires minimal maintenance.

Oak

European and American white oak are the prestige choices for a natural-timber or clear-varnished look. Oak is dense, stable and ages beautifully. It suits Georgian and Victorian properties where a statement hardwood finish is desired. Regular oiling or painting every 3–5 years maintains the finish.

Idigbo & Meranti (Hardwoods)

Cost-effective hardwoods with good natural durability. Well suited to painted front doors. Both species offer excellent strength-to-weight ratios and take primer and topcoat cleanly for a long-lasting painted finish.

Engineered Softwood (Finger-Jointed Pine)

The most affordable option, best suited to sheltered porches or secondary entrance doors where minimal weather exposure is expected. Requires thorough sealing and regular repainting.
