Quality doors transform a property—improving security, sound reduction, privacy and the overall finish of your home or workplace. Aston Brothers Carpentry Ltd provide professional fitting for hardwood doors, softwood doors, and Howdens doors from our base in Burnham-on-Sea, North Somerset, covering Somerset and Devon and regularly working in and around Bristol, Taunton and Exeter.

Whether you’re upgrading internal doors during a renovation, fitting new door linings and architraves for a clean finish, or installing stronger external-grade timber doors (where suitable), we focus on precise hanging, correct gaps, smooth operation and tidy finishing.

Why Professional Door Fitting Matters

A well-fitted door should close cleanly, latch properly, and sit square within the frame. Professional installation helps you avoid:

• Doors sticking, rubbing or dropping
• Poor gaps and uneven reveals
• Latches that don’t align
• Damage around hinges from incorrect fixing
• Untidy finishing around architraves and trims
• Ongoing issues caused by frame movement or poor lining installation

Hardwood vs Softwood Doors – What’s Best?

We’ll advise on the right door type based on use, budget and desired finish.

Hardwood Doors

• Denser timber, often more durable
• Premium feel and finish options
• Excellent for high-traffic areas (door dependent)

Softwood Doors

• Cost-effective option
• Often ideal for painting or finishing to match a scheme
• Good choice for standard internal upgrades

Howdens Doors (Supply/Customer-Supplied Installation)

Howdens doors are a popular option for homeowners and builders looking for consistent sizing and finish choices. We can fit customer-supplied Howdens doors and ensure they’re hung and finished properly for smooth day-to-day use.

We’ll confirm door type, sizing, and any trimming requirements at quotation stage.
