Crafted for Period Properties

Elegant and Functional Designs

Our Bespoke Services in Derby

Derby's period housing spans Georgian townhouses on Friar Gate, the Victorian grandeur of the Strutts Park conservation area, eighteenth-century mill workers' cottages at Darley Abbey, and the Edwardian and interwar suburbs of Littleover, Allestree, and Mickleover. We design every project from the property's genuine architectural period, with particular depth of experience in Derby's many conservation areas.

Wooden Doors in Derby

From Strutts Park's substantial Victorian villas to Littleover's Edwardian semis, Derby's period housing demands doors designed to the specific proportions and detailing of their era. We make Victorian doors, Edwardian doors, Georgian doors, 1930s doors, and heritage doors matched precisely to each property — correct panel arrangements, period mouldings, and glazing appropriate to the building's documented construction date.

Heritage Doors in Derby

Derby's fifteen conservation areas and the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Darley Abbey require heritage joinery built to genuine evidential and statutory standards, not approximate period styling. Our heritage door work is designed from documented historical reference and built to satisfy conservation officer requirements and listed building consent applications.

Wooden Windows in Derby

The sash windows of Friar Gate and Strutts Park, and the casement windows of Derby's Edwardian suburbs, are central to the character of these protected streets. We build bespoke timber windows to the precise proportions and construction methods these properties demand. Our heritage windows meet the statutory standards Derby's conservation areas require.

Stained Glass in Derby

Original stained and leaded glass survives across Derby's Victorian and Edwardian housing, particularly in Strutts Park and the city's conservation areas. We hand-craft stained glass doors and stained glass windows using traditional leading techniques, reproducing documented originals or creating new designs appropriate to the property's period.

Steel & Glass Internal Doors

Steel & Glass Internal Doors in Derby

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

Derby's conservation areas and period housing stock — particularly across Strutts Park's Victorian villas, Georgian Friar Gate, and the Edwardian suburbs of Littleover and Allestree — are seeing growing demand for steel and glass internal doors as homeowners open up ground floors while maintaining a clear visual division between living spaces. Derby's fifteen conservation areas also mean that interior remodelling projects are increasingly specified with materials that acknowledge the architectural quality of the surrounding fabric — steel and glass internal doors do this naturally.

Particularly well suited to kitchen-to-living room divisions in Strutts Park Victorian villas, Friar Gate Georgian properties, and Littleover and Allestree Edwardian semis undergoing open-plan ground-floor conversion.

Wooden Gates in Derby

A correctly designed timber gate matters as much in Derby's conservation areas as the front door itself. We build garden gates and driveway gates in solid hardwood, designed to the specific period and scale of the property rather than a standard pattern.

Wooden Porches in Derby

Derby's Victorian and Edwardian properties, particularly across Strutts Park, Littleover, and Allestree, were frequently built with porches that have since been lost or poorly replaced. We design and build Victorian porches, Georgian porches, heritage porches, and traditional porches with genuine period accuracy.
