Flush
Bedrooms and most rooms — quiet, cheap to finish, disappears into the wall when painted out. The default.
Nobody compliments a door — everybody notices a bad one: the rattle, the hollow knock, the one that won't stay shut. It's the most-touched object in your home and usually the least considered. We get the core, the swing and the seal right so a closed door actually means something.
A door is judged by hand and ear long before the eye gets involved. A hollow-core door announces itself the moment you touch it, and it'll do that every day for twenty years. Solid core costs a little more and buys the difference you feel every day — the weight, the quiet swing, the soft closed thud.

Nobody compliments a door — everybody notices a bad one. These six are what separate a leaf that thuds shut from one that rattles at you for the next twenty years.
Jamb plumb
Level, or it drifts
A door that swings open or shut on its own isn't haunted — it's a jamb out of plumb. We fix the frame dead true to the floor so the leaf stays exactly where you leave it.
Latch alignment
Meets the strike
A door that needs a shove to catch has a strike plate a few millimetres out. We align the rebate and keeper so it latches on a push, not a slam that wakes the house.
Acoustic rating
Rated, not guessed
Mass in the leaf and a continuous seal decide how much noise a shut door actually stops. On a study or a teenager's room we spec for it rather than hoping the core is enough.
Fire-rated leaf
Where code asks
A flat's main door and the door onto a service shaft often need a rated leaf and intumescent seal. It's a compliance line, not a finish — we flag where the code applies.
Threshold detail
Where floors meet
Under every door two finishes meet, sometimes at two heights. We set the undercut so the leaf clears the floor by a hair — enough for air, not a draught gap you could post a letter through.
Architrave scribe
Covering the joint
The frame never meets the wall perfectly; the architrave hides that gap. We scribe it tight or hold a clean shadow line, so the surround reads deliberate instead of patched.
Bedrooms and most rooms — quiet, cheap to finish, disappears into the wall when painted out. The default.
Foyers and formal rooms — shadow and relief that read traditional or modern depending entirely on the profile.
Tight plans and small-flat bathrooms — vanishes into the wall, but the cavity has to be built at civil stage.
The difference a door makes is one you hear, not see — the dull thud of a solid leaf against a seal instead of the rattle of a hollow one. Every door we hang is chosen for that closing sound as much as the finish.
The first touch tells you everything — a knuckle-rap that rings, a leaf so light it swings past the latch. Solid core answers with weight, and a gasket with a drop seal turns a bedroom or study into somewhere genuinely private, not just closed off.
The doors that vanish into a wall are the ones you have to plan for before the wall exists. Retrofitting a pocket into a built wall means rebuilding that wall — so it's a decision for the start of a project, not the middle, and we flag it on the plan.
Pocket cavities built into the wall at civil stage
Swing paths checked against switches and circulation
WPC or treated cores wherever it's wet
A gap at the base so the bathroom exhaust draws
Tell us how many doors and which rooms — we'll come back with cores, hardware and swings that make the whole house sound different, and a price.
Solid core throughout. You close one and the house sounds different.
