What's included

  • Paint and varnish stripping (hand or workshop tank)
  • Timber splicing and Dutchman repairs
  • Replacement of broken or missing mouldings
  • Stained glass and leaded light repair
  • Original ironmongery cleaning and restoration
  • Re-hanging, draught-proofing and weather-sealing

Made in the UK, fitted nationwide

Door Restoration & Repair from Arch-Door are manufactured in our West Midlands workshop and installed by our own fitting teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. For supply-only orders we ship throughout the UK, with detailed fitting drawings supplied for your installer.

Built to last

Where it makes sense for the door type, we use engineered cores wrapped in solid timber lippings. This combination stops doors twisting and bowing — a common failure mode in solid-timber doors under British weather. Traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery handles the structural connections.

Finishes

Doors can be supplied unfinished, primed, painted, stained, oiled or factory-spray-finished. We hold a full RAL chart and standard timber stain swatches; bespoke colours matched on request.

Most enquiries get a quote within one working day. For larger projects we'll arrange a site visit before pricing.

Project types we cover

Door Restoration & Repair are specified for a wide range of project types: residential refurbishments, new-build housing, listed building work, commercial fit-outs, hospitality and high-end residential. Whatever the application, we'll tailor the specification — fire rating, security rating, acoustic performance, thermal performance — to suit.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a door restoration & repair order take from enquiry to fit?
Typical end-to-end timeline is four to eight weeks: one week for survey and design sign-off, three to six weeks workshop manufacture, and one to two days for installation. Fast-track is available for urgent projects.
Do you offer a guarantee on door restoration & repair?
Yes — ten years on the manufacturing, two years on installation work, and the relevant manufacturer's warranty on hardware. Glazing carries a separate sealed-unit warranty of typically ten years.
