Oak Door Re-oiling
Oak Door Re-oiling
How It Works
Site assessment & quote
We inspect the door on site—checking finish, movement gaps, ironmongery and exposure—then recommend an oil type and maintenance frequency.
Preparation & minor repairs
Loose finish, dirt and light surface scratches are cleaned and abraded by hand; we adjust hinges or latch alignment where needed before oiling.
Oiling & aftercare visit
We apply a breathable oil by hand for even absorption, buff to the required sheen and schedule follow-up visits or a maintenance package if required.

What we do: Oak door re-oiling restores colour, enhances grain and replenishes the wood's natural protection without removing the original door. On arrival we check for moisture, rot and ironmongery issues, clean the surface, perform light sanding where required and select a breathable oil suitable for the exposure—satin hard-wax oils or penetrating drying oils are common choices depending on the door and finish.
Maintenance & longevity: Exterior oak exposed to rain and sun will need attention more often than sheltered doors. We arrange tailored maintenance packages for period cottages, new builds and farmhouses across Gloucestershire, Stroud and Stonehouse. Services include scheduled re-oiling, hinge adjustments and re-sealing of rebates where necessary. As a small family workshop we prioritise continuity and will revisit to make sure your door performs as expected.
