At GBS Joinery, we specialise in the design, manufacture, and installation of bespoke timber back doors for homes across Stockport, Manchester, and the surrounding areas. Whether you need a traditional back door for a period property, a made to measure external wooden back door, or back external doors that are designed to improve security, weather protection, and everyday use, our team can create a door that suits your home perfectly.
A back door is one of the most used entrances in many homes, so it needs to be practical, secure, and built to last. It should also feel in keeping with the style of the property, whether it opens onto a garden, courtyard, side return, utility space, or rear extension. With bespoke timber joinery from GBS Joinery, every detail can be designed around your home, from the size and frame style, to the glazing, finish, and ironmongery.
We understand that every property is different, which is why our timber back doors are made to measure. Rather than relying on standard sizes or fixed designs, we create bespoke timber back doors that are designed around the opening, the style of the property, and the way the door will be used day to day.
We pay close attention to the details that affect both appearance and performance, including the size, proportions, panel style, glazing, timber choice, frame design, ironmongery, colour, and finish. Whether you need a simple solid timber door, a glazed external wooden back door, or a more traditional design with moulded detailing, we can manufacture a door that suits your home beautifully.
Our made to measure back doors can also be created as complete door and frame sets, helping to achieve a better fit, improved weather protection, and a more consistent finish across the whole entrance.
Back external doors need to be practical and hard-wearing, but they should still feel in keeping with the style and character of your home. At GBS Joinery, we design timber back doors for a wide range of properties including period homes, terraces, townhouses, cottages, and modern homes.
For older homes, we can create traditional back door designs that respect the original character of the property. This may include panelled doors, slim glazing details, traditional mouldings, and carefully chosen ironmongery. For more contemporary homes or extensions, we can create cleaner, simpler door styles with modern glazing and a refined timber finish.
Every door we create is designed with everyday use in mind. That means we consider security, weather protection, durability, and ease of operation, as well as the overall look of the door.
An external wooden back door can be designed in a wide range of styles, depending on the age and appearance of your property. Timber is a flexible and characterful material, making it suitable for both traditional and modern homes.
We can create solid timber doors, part glazed doors, or fully bespoke designs with panel layouts, glazing bars, and mouldings made to suit the property. Your door can be finished in a painted colour for a crisp, classic appearance or, where suitable, a stained finish to highlight the natural character of the wood.
Each external wooden back door can also be specified with durable timber options, quality locking systems, hinges, handles, weather seals, and ironmongery. This helps create a door that not only looks right, but also performs well in daily use.

At GBS Joinery, we design, manufacture, and install external doors in Manchester, Stockport, and the surrounding areas. Whether you’re replacing an old back door in Manchester or upgrading external doors as part of a wider renovation, we can create timber doors that suit your property.
Our local service gives you support from the first design conversation through to manufacture and installation to help make the process straightforward and well managed.
By choosing made to measure timber joinery, your new back door can be designed to fit your property precisely, rather than looking like a standard replacement.
Over time, back doors can become swollen, draughty, damaged, insecure, or difficult to open and close. In some cases, the door itself may still be usable, but the frame may be poorly fitted, rotten, or no longer provide the level of protection needed.
Our replacement timber back doors are designed to improve the appearance, security, and everyday performance of your home. We can replace old or unsuitable back doors with made to measure timber designs that offer a more reliable fit, better weather protection, and smoother operation.
Where needed, we can also create complete door and frame sets, helping to improve the whole entrance rather than simply replacing the door leaf. For period homes and character properties, we can design the new door to match the original style or restore detail that may have been lost through previous replacements.

Choosing the right joinery specialist helps ensure your new back door looks right, fits properly, and performs well over time. That’s why we combine bespoke timber craftsmanship with careful design, quality materials and manufacture, and installation support.
