Your home deserves more than a standard door

You have invested in a beautiful home, and its entrance plays a defining role. Standard, off-the-shelf doors often lack the quality and character such homes deserve, weathering poorly over time and failing to complement the property’s architecture.

At Old English Doors, we offer a considered alternative. Our bespoke timber doors are handcrafted for homeowners who value enduring quality and traditional craftsmanship. We offer an infinite range of designs – anything you can dream of, we will work together to bring it to life! Before any work begins, you will see exactly how your door will look – designed, made and fitted by one expert team.

A smooth experience from start to finish

From your initial enquiry, you will speak directly to the people responsible for your door. At Old English Doors, there is no sales team, no middlemen. We offer clear advice, thoughtful design and a consistent point of contact throughout.
Whether you are restoring a period property or seeking a lasting upgrade for your entranceway, we take the time to understand you and your home. The result is a door that brings presence and distinction to your home, with precise proportions and craftsmanship designed to endure.

What we offer

Bespoke Timber Entrance Doors

Each door is made to order using traditional joinery methods, premium hardwoods and hand-applied finishes. Designs are tailored to suit the character of your home, with options for stained glass, period detailing and high-quality ironmongery – all built to last a lifetime.

Stained Glass Design & Restoration

All of our stained glass is made or restored in-house by our own skilled specialists. Whether you are preserving original features or creating something entirely new, we will guide you through the process and provide clear visual representations before work begins.

Timber Windows & Joinery

We also manufacture high-quality timber windows and associated joinery, produced to the same high standards as our doors. Designed to suit period homes or character builds, they combine timeless appearance with modern performance.

Design, Manufacture & Installation – All In-House

Every stage of your project is carried out by our team, from detailed CAD drawings through to final installation. By keeping the entire process in-house at our Nottingham workshop, we maintain full quality control and ensure clear communication and consistency throughout.

"We are over the moon with the end product. It's the talking point of the house! My husband and I spent a substantial amount of time researching traditional door companies for our Edwardian farmhouse and are so glad we discovered Old English Doors! There aren't many businesses out there that offer quality craftmanship, a bespoke stained glass service and installation without using a 3rd party. Dan was knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process from start to finish. We visited the workshop initially to see how the process would evolve and establish the client relationship, a reassurance to us as we were based several hours away from Nottingham. The whole team were very experienced and friendly and did a marvellous job of fitting the door when the time came. We are honestly delighted and would 100% recommend Dan and the team to anyone looking for a bespoke, tailor made service. Thank you Old English Doors."

"The guys were an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish: really professional, very friendly and always considerate about disruption during the work. We are so pleased with the finished product: a beautiful new door a new porch/surround. We have had so many lovely comments from people that are blown away by the craftsmanship! Can't recommend highly enough."

"We needed a replacement front door to meet conservation area requirements. Not one London company we approached could construct the door. Old English Doors however were a fantastic find and have manufactured and fitted an incredibly well designed and thought through door to our requirements. It has been in for a few days now and we've had incredible compliments from so many people. We are so pleased. Thank you OED!"

"Old English Doors have provided a brilliant service in making and fitting a replacement large victorian front door at our elderly parents house. As no family members live near by we trusted English Doors to liaise with my mum to design and fit the door. Their communication was excellent keeping us informed by email and providing timely communication with our mum to keep her informed of progress and installation day. We highly recommend the company for not only providing an excellent door but also offering a caring and friendly service."
