Expert Door Fitting and Replacement
New doors make a bigger difference than most people expect. They freshen up the look of a room, improve how your home feels to move around, and in the case of external doors, can significantly boost security and energy efficiency. At Maple Tree Carpentry, we supply and fit internal and external doors across Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey, ensuring a precise fit and a clean finish every time.
Internal Doors
Replacing internal doors is one of the most effective ways to update your home. We supply and fit a wide range of styles and materials:
- Oak doors - solid oak and oak veneer in panel, cottage and contemporary designs
- Painted doors - white primed and pre-finished doors ready for a smooth, modern look
- Glazed doors - letting light flow between rooms while maintaining separation
- Flush doors - clean, minimal designs for a sleek contemporary feel
- Fire doors - FD30 fire-rated doors for kitchens, garages and loft conversions where building regulations require them
We also carry out full lining and frame replacements where needed. In older properties, door openings are rarely perfectly square, so we take careful measurements and adjust frames and linings to ensure everything hangs true and operates smoothly.
External Doors
Your front door is the first thing visitors see, and it plays a key role in your home’s security and insulation. We fit a range of external doors, including:
- Front doors - timber, composite and uPVC in a variety of styles
- Back doors - standard and glazed options to suit your home
- French doors - a classic choice for opening onto a garden or patio
- Stable doors - a practical and attractive option, especially for country-style properties
External door fitting includes proper weatherproofing, threshold adjustment and secure lock installation. We work with quality door suppliers and can help you choose the right door for your property’s style and your budget.
The Details That Matter
Fitting a door well is about more than hanging it on its hinges. We take care of every element that contributes to the finished result:
- Door linings and frames - full replacement or adjustment to suit new doors
- Architrave - matching or contrasting trim to frame the door and complete the look
- Door furniture - handles, hinges, latches, locks and letterboxes
- Trimming and planing - ensuring doors clear flooring and carpets without excessive gaps
Whether it’s a single door replacement or a full house of new doors, we work methodically through each one, making sure every door opens, closes and latches properly before we move on.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to have a door fitted?
The cost of door fitting depends on the type of door, whether the frame or lining needs replacing, and any additional work such as new architrave or hardware. We offer free quotes for all door fitting work across Wokingham and the surrounding area, so get in touch and we’ll give you an accurate, no-obligation price.
How long does it take to fit a door?
A straightforward like-for-like internal door replacement typically takes one to two hours per door. If new linings, frames or architrave are needed, or if the opening needs adjusting, it may take a little longer. For a full house of doors, we usually allow two to three days depending on the number and complexity.
Can you fit doors I’ve already bought?
Yes. We regularly fit doors purchased by our customers from suppliers such as Howdens, Wickes, B&Q and online retailers. We’ll check the doors are suitable for your openings and handle all the trimming, hanging and finishing. If you haven’t bought your doors yet, we’re also happy to advise on styles and suppliers.
Do I need a fire door for my kitchen or loft conversion?
Building regulations in England typically require FD30 fire doors between a kitchen and a hallway, and for rooms in a loft conversion. If you’re unsure whether your property in Berkshire needs fire doors, we can advise you during your free consultation. We supply and fit fire-rated doors that meet current regulations.
