External doors that make a statement
The exterior architecture of a building can provide a revealing insight into how the owner or occupant would like to be seen. This powerful form of self-expression is not limited to bold architectural statements; as subtle detailing is also used to great effect. A bespoke front door offers the perfect opportunity to make such a statement, and a great way to shape the first impressions of everyone passing and entering the building.
At Foxstow, our joiners are experts at making external timber doors. We can make doors in every possible design, style and size that you can ever imagine or need. Whether you want traditional or modern styling, something familiar looking, or a completely unique design; we have all the experience, skills, and expertise needed to make you the perfect external door(s).
Traditional craftsmanship with innovative advances
Many aspects of door making have remained unchanged for hundreds of years, and our joiners still make use of numerous traditional methods. The same is true for timber selection, where oak continues to be one of the most popular woods for making front doors. But alongside of the ‘tried and tested’, we have also embraced advances in everything from finishing, to machinery and also timber. Once such example is our use of Accoya®, a ground breaking modified timber that offers exceptional stability and longevity; making it our preferred choice of timber for creating external bespoke doors.
A bespoke external door makes it possible
Our expertise covers the widest possible range of external doors, including those with panel, flush and ledge & brace designs. This means we can make anything from an intricate period door, to a modern minimalist door and everything in-between (see examples below). As a bespoke door specialist, we are just as comfortable making doors in standard sizes and popular designs, as we are making unique ‘one-off’ creations.
We hold strong partnerships with a select group of specialists, to offer our clients greater choice and quality when specifying their bespoke external door(s). This includes artisan crafts like carving and marquetry, and the supply of materials like timber, glazing, paints and seals. Actively supporting our joiners, and the finishing team who use our in-house spray booth facility.

As a door specialist, we are regularly asked by clients, to make the door frames and architraves for their bespoke door(s).
