We received a request from a client in Droitwich, who wanted new doors to be fitted into old stables, as they were converting them into holiday accommodation.

As stables and other old commercial buildings or barns are not designed for human occupation, they often present additional challenges due to the varying sizes and shapes of windows and doors. We were pleased, however, to help this client achieve the perfect look by suggesting the use of European Oak Hardwood French doors which were fully glazed. We had to produce a taller door to suit the style of the building, which made a considerable difference to the property as it allowed more natural light to enter.

To add to the final finish we used antique, pewter styled door handles, which complemented the overall look. The client wanted to maintain the age of the stables, whilst ensuring it was practical for its intended use – as holiday accommodation. Therefore, we ensured secure locks were placed on the doors to offer the highest level of safety, both for when the property is occupied with guests and when it is empty.

The original brief from the client was to maintain the look and feel of what was a beautiful old stable block, whilst at the same time introducing all the requirements a 21st century holiday let would need. Overall, the client was really impressed with the work we carried out, and they also mentioned it was better than they had originally expected. This is something that we are very proud of.
