Traditional Craftsmanship in Birmingham

Birmingham's period housing stock is genuinely exceptional — the leafy Victorian and Edwardian avenues of Edgbaston, the Arts and Crafts garden village of Bournville, and the converted heritage buildings of the Jewellery Quarter sit across more than thirty designated conservation areas. Old English Doors designs and builds bespoke timber doors, windows, stained glass, gates, and porches for these properties, made in our own workshop and installed across the city.

Our Bespoke Services in Birmingham

Few English cities carry the architectural range Birmingham does within a single conurbation — Edgbaston's grand Georgian and Victorian villas, Moseley's Victorian and Arts and Crafts streets, Bournville's planned Arts and Crafts garden suburb, and the converted industrial heritage of the Jewellery Quarter. We design every project from the specific period and conservation context of the property in front of us.

Wooden Doors in Birmingham

Edgbaston's substantial Victorian and Edwardian villas and Moseley's Arts and Crafts and Victorian housing were built with front doors designed as genuine architectural statements. We make Victorian doors, Edwardian doors, Arts and Crafts doors, Georgian doors, and 1930s doors matched precisely to each property's era — correct panel proportions and detailing for Edgbaston's grand villas, honest Arts and Crafts joinery for Bournville and Moseley.

Heritage Doors in Birmingham

Birmingham has over thirty conservation areas, including the substantial Edgbaston Conservation Area and the protected Arts and Crafts character of Bournville. Our heritage door work is designed from genuine documented evidence and built to satisfy conservation officer requirements and listed building consent applications across all of Birmingham's distinct designations.

Wooden Windows in Birmingham

The sash windows of Edgbaston's Victorian villas and the casement windows of Bournville's Arts and Crafts cottages each follow distinct period conventions. Our heritage windows meet the statutory standards Birmingham's conservation areas require. We also offer timber alternative windows where conservation controls permit and lower maintenance is a priority.

Stained Glass in Birmingham

Birmingham's Arts and Crafts heritage, particularly across Bournville and Moseley, produced some of the country's finest decorative leaded glass. We hand-craft stained glass doors and stained glass windows using traditional techniques, reproducing documented originals or designing new work rooted in genuine period and movement-specific precedent.
Steel & Glass Internal Doors

Steel & Glass Internal Doors in Birmingham

Old English Doors now supplies and installs bespoke steel and glass internal doors across Birmingham through our partnership with MetaliX — a European manufacturer producing precision-engineered steel door systems.

Birmingham's exceptional period housing — from Edgbaston's grand Victorian and Edwardian villas to Moseley's Arts and Crafts streets, Bournville's garden suburb cottages, and the Jewellery Quarter's converted industrial buildings — provides some of the most architecturally interesting contexts for steel and glass internal doors anywhere in the Midlands. The contrast between a slender black steel frame and period brickwork, Arts and Crafts detailing, or original industrial ironwork is particularly striking in Birmingham's most distinctive residential and converted commercial properties.

Particularly well suited to open-plan conversions in Edgbaston's Victorian villas, Moseley and Bournville Arts and Crafts homes, and Jewellery Quarter loft and warehouse conversions — where wide cascade and bifold systems work architecturally with the scale of the original building.

Wooden Gates in Birmingham

The boundary treatment of an Edgbaston villa or a Bournville cottage is part of each property's distinct architectural character. We build garden gates and driveway gates designed to the specific period and conservation requirements of the property.

Wooden Porches in Birmingham

Many of Birmingham's Edgbaston villas and Bournville Arts and Crafts homes carry or once carried genuine architectural porches. We design and build Victorian porches, Georgian porches, heritage porches, and traditional porches with accuracy appropriate to the property's specific movement and period.
