Traditional Craftsmanship in Nottingham

Old English Doors is based in Nottingham, and the city's Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas, and 1930s suburbs are where our craft is most at home. From Sherwood and Lenton's dense Victorian streetscapes to the substantial Edwardian houses of West Bridgford and Mapperley, we design and make bespoke timber doors, windows, stained glass, gates, and porches for the period homes that define this city — built in our own workshop, fitted by our own team.

Crafted for Period Properties

Built to Last

Elegant and Functional Designs

Our Bespoke Services in Nottingham

Nottingham's residential streets span more architectural periods than almost any comparable East Midlands city — Georgian remnants in the Lace Market, dense Victorian terracing through Lenton and Radford, Edwardian expansion into Sherwood and Mapperley, and the confident interwar suburbs of Wollaton and Beeston. Every era calls for a different door, a different window profile, a different approach. We design every project from the specific period and property in front of us.

Wooden Doors in Nottingham

Nottingham's Victorian terraces and Edwardian villas were built with front doors that were part of the architecture — correct panel proportions, period mouldings, and in many cases original stained glass. We design Victorian doors, Edwardian doors, Georgian doors, 1930s doors, and Arts and Crafts doors matched precisely to the property's era — whether that means a Victorian four-panel door for a Lenton terrace or a wide, glass-forward Edwardian design for a West Bridgford villa.

Heritage Doors in Nottingham

The Lace Market conservation area, parts of West Bridgford, and Nottingham's many listed buildings require joinery designed to satisfy genuine heritage evidence and conservation officer standards. Our heritage door work is built from documented historical reference, not generic period styling, and is designed to support listed building consent where required.

Wooden Windows in Nottingham

The sash windows and casement windows of Nottingham's Victorian and Edwardian streets define their character as much as any other detail. We build bespoke timber windows to the exact proportions and glazing bar patterns these properties were originally built with, restoring what uPVC replacement so often removes. For properties outside conservation area controls, we also offer timber alternative windows where lower maintenance is a priority.

Stained Glass in Nottingham

Original leaded and stained glass survives across Nottingham's period housing stock, particularly in Sherwood, Lenton, and the city's Victorian terraces. We hand-craft stained glass doors and stained glass windows using traditional leading techniques, reproducing lost originals or designing new work appropriate to the property's period.

Steel & Glass Internal Doors

Steel & Glass Internal Doors in Nottingham

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

Nottingham's dense Victorian and Edwardian terrace streets are where steel and glass internal doors are most commonly specified — dividing a period kitchen-diner in Lenton or Sherwood without losing light, or adding a contemporary steel and glass partition to an extended ground floor in West Bridgford or Mapperley. The slender black steel frame and clear glass panel divides two spaces while keeping them visually connected — something no timber or composite door achieves.

Particularly well suited to open-plan kitchen and dining room divisions in Nottingham's Victorian terraces and Edwardian villas — where a clearly defined boundary is needed without sacrificing the light and openness of the extended ground floor.

Wooden Gates in Nottingham

A bespoke timber gate completes the approach to a Nottingham period property in the same way a correctly designed front door does. We build garden gates and driveway gates in solid hardwood, designed to the scale and style of the property rather than a standard off-the-shelf pattern.

Wooden Porches in Nottingham

Many Nottingham period properties — particularly Victorian terraces in Sherwood and Edwardian villas in West Bridgford and Mapperley — were originally built with entrance porches that have since been lost. We design and build Victorian porches, Georgian porches, heritage porches, and traditional porches that restore this missing architectural feature, or add a genuinely appropriate one where none existed before.
