Why Choose a Bespoke Timber Front Door for Your Wembley Home
Your front door is the single most visible feature of your home — the first thing visitors see, the focal point of your facade, and a major contributor to kerb appeal and property value. Generic mass-produced composite or uPVC doors often look identical to dozens of other doors on the same street. A bespoke timber door is unique to your property, designed around your architectural style, and built to last decades.
Wembley has a varied housing stock — 1920s-1950s semis dominate much of the area, with older Victorian and Edwardian properties in established neighbourhoods, and modern apartments around Wembley Park. Each property type benefits from a different door style: a 1930s semi suits panelled doors with leaded glass detail, an Edwardian home calls for traditional moulded doors with decorative glazing, and modern properties work well with clean-lined contemporary timber doors.
We work across all Wembley postcodes including HA0 (Sudbury, North Wembley) and HA9 (Wembley Central, Wembley Park, Tokyngton), and we tailor every door to the architectural character of your specific property.
Our Range of Timber Front Doors
Traditional Panelled Front Doors
Classic four-panel and six-panel front doors are the most common style for inter-war Wembley semis and older terraced properties. Solid panelled construction with traditional mouldings delivers period-authentic appearance while modern manufacturing techniques ensure dimensional stability and weather resistance.
Browse our complete timber front doors range for design examples and specifications.
Best for: 1930s semis, Edwardian and Victorian properties, traditional homeowners.
Glazed Front Doors
Front doors with decorative glazing — leaded lights, etched glass, stained glass panels — were a hallmark of 1920s-1950s housing and remain hugely popular for Wembley properties. We manufacture glazed front doors with toughened safety glass, double glazing where required, and authentic period-style glazing bars.
Best for: Period homes, properties where natural light into the hallway is important, heritage style with modern security.
Modern Contemporary Front Doors
Clean-lined timber doors with horizontal grooves, vertical panels, large glazed sections, or flush minimalist designs. Ideal for modern Wembley properties, contemporary extensions or properties undergoing complete architectural refresh.
Best for: Modern flats, new builds, contemporary renovations.
Statement Heritage Front Doors
For period properties where the front door is a key architectural feature, our heritage range includes large arched doors, doors with substantial mouldings, decorative ironmongery and authentic period detailing. Suited to larger Edwardian and Victorian homes in older parts of Wembley.
Best for: Period properties, listed buildings, owners prioritising architectural impact.
Construction & Performance
Every bespoke timber front door from International Windows Group is engineered for performance as well as appearance. Our standard construction includes:
- Engineered timber core — multi-laminated construction that resists warping and twisting, far more stable than solid timber
- Insulated cores — thermal cores between timber faces deliver U-values from 1.4 W/m²K, comparable to modern composite doors
- Multi-point locking systems — high-security 3-point or 5-point locks meeting PAS 24 standards
- Weather-resistant timber species — Accoya, European Redwood or Engineered Hardwood, all suited to UK weather
- Factory paint finish — applied in controlled conditions for superior durability versus on-site painting
- Double or triple glazed panels — toughened safety glass with low-E coatings
- Quality ironmongery — brass, chrome, satin nickel or black powder-coated hardware

Security Features for Wembley Properties
Modern timber front doors are significantly more secure than the original doors fitted to most inter-war and older Wembley properties. Standard security features include:
- Multi-point locking systems (3 or 5 point) engaging top, middle and bottom of the door frame
- Anti-snap, anti-bump, anti-pick cylinder locks meeting British Kitemark TS007 3-star standard
- Reinforced strike plates and hinge bolts
- Toughened or laminated safety glass on glazed sections
- Optional smart locking systems including keyless entry, app-controlled access and digital keypad
- Door viewers and security chains where requested
All our front doors meet PAS 24 enhanced security standard — the same standard required by Secured by Design and new-build planning approvals.

Why Timber Outperforms Composite & uPVC
Mass-produced composite and uPVC front doors dominate the budget market, but they have significant drawbacks compared to bespoke timber:
- Appearance — timber has authentic depth, grain and substance that printed composite skins or moulded uPVC cannot replicate
- Property value — estate agents consistently report that quality timber doors add more to perceived property value than equivalent composite or uPVC
- Repairability — timber doors can be sanded, repainted and refurbished indefinitely; damaged composite skins or uPVC panels typically require full replacement
- Bespoke design — timber can be manufactured to any size or design specification; composite and uPVC are limited to manufacturer’s standard sizes and designs
- Longevity — properly maintained timber doors last 40-60+ years; composite skins typically delaminate after 15-20 years
- Heritage compatibility — required for Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings; uPVC and composite often refused planning permission
Our Process
1. Free Survey & Design Consultation
A specialist visits your Wembley property to measure the door opening, discuss design options, recommend appropriate styles for your property, and explore timber, glazing, ironmongery and finish preferences. The survey typically takes 45-75 minutes and includes physical samples of timber, finishes and ironmongery.
2. Detailed Design & Quotation
Within 5 working days you receive a CAD drawing of the proposed door and a written quotation breaking down the specification. Browse our product brochures and completed projects portfolio for design inspiration.
3. Manufacturing
Once you confirm the order and pay the deposit, manufacturing begins. Lead time is 4 weeks for standard designs, 5-6 weeks for complex bespoke doors with extensive detailing or hand-finished elements.
4. Professional Installation
Our in-house team removes the existing door and frame, fits the new door, adjusts ironmongery, makes good internal and external reveals, and completes final commissioning. Most front door installations take a single day.
5. Aftercare
Every installation includes a 10-year manufacturer warranty on the door, 5-year warranty on installation workmanship, and full warranty on ironmongery (typically 5-10 years depending on hardware). Compliance and certification details are available on our certificates page.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a timber front door cost in Wembley?
Bespoke timber front doors in Wembley range from £1,400 to £4,500 supplied and fitted, with most homeowners spending £2,000-£3,000 on a quality panelled door with decorative glazing, multi-point locking and factory paint finish.
Are timber front doors as secure as composite doors?
Yes — and often more secure. Our timber front doors meet PAS 24 enhanced security standard with multi-point locking, anti-snap cylinders and reinforced frames. Solid timber construction is significantly harder to force than the foam-filled core of most composite doors.
How long does a timber front door last?
Properly maintained timber front doors last 40-60+ years with periodic refinishing every 8-10 years. Premium materials like Accoya carry 50-year manufacturer warranties against rot and dimensional change.
Do I need planning permission for a new front door in Wembley?
Most front door replacements fall under permitted development and don’t require planning permission. If your property is in a Conservation Area or is Listed, planning permission may be required — we can advise during the free survey.
Can you match my existing original 1930s door style?
Yes. We regularly manufacture replicas of original 1920s-1950s doors with authentic panel arrangements, glazing patterns, mouldings and proportions. Bring photos of your existing door or original neighbouring doors to the survey.
How long does installation take?
Most timber front door installations take a single day. We arrive in the morning, remove the existing door and frame, fit the new door, adjust ironmongery and complete reveals by late afternoon. Your home is never left unsecured overnight.
Do you offer smart lock options?
Yes. We can specify keyless entry systems, smart locks with app control, digital keypads and integration with home automation systems. Discuss your preferences during the survey.
