Specialists in the quality restoration of original period doors.
Through decades of experience, our trusted technique has shown how restoration and conservation is always preferred over replacement.
Years ago, when craftsmen meticulously fashioned the timber door in your home, they did so with a profound passion and care often forgotten in today’s world. They gave Britain beautiful and iconic structures that stand to this day. But time wears all, and it’s up to us to preserve the stories of heritage they’ve given us.
Our solution re-embodies that passion, care and skill by providing an exceptionally dependable alternative to replacement and providing homeowners with true value
Standard repair and restoration of wooden doors tend to act only as temporary fixes. These solutions only mask the deeper issues which inevitably rear, worse than before.
New is most certainly not always better, though sales people would try to convince you otherwise.
Fortis & Hooke provides a quality and lasting solution to original door concerns. Our system presents homeowners with essential repairs, modernisation and longevity-enhancing methods to ensure your unique items are retained at an affordable rate.
The Fortis & Hooke Longaevitas system has been run through decades of refinement and mastery. It now stands as the only system of its kind.
Longaevitas takes doors from a state of disrepair and ensures they are renovated, repaired, overhauled, painted, modernised and strengthened to add centuries more to their life.
Longaevitas’ power is born from our unwavering dedication to protect British Heritage, but also to innovate. Because of this uncompromising and creative ethos our system has remained genuinely unique. Many have tried to emulate it, but few have come even close to matching our process.
SERVICES
One service for doors. One great result. Consistently.
The service we provide for wooden doors enables us to offer quality-assured, specialised alternatives to the replacement of original features.
We delve deep into the door frame and ensure that all rot or decayed timber is removed and either repaired or replaced. We ensure potential risk-bearing areas are stripped to reveal any masked problems. This permanently resolves these issues providing you with peace of mind.
Decades of research has brought us to the conclusion that standard processes to fill and paint period doors do not provide longevity. We have developed unique processes within Longaevitas to ensure previously ‘weak’ areas are circumvented, without removing the unique characteristics of the original structures.
A misperception exists that only new doors provide enhanced heat efficiency and functionality. We’ve comprehensively disproved this by following a unique process ensuring your door is fully-functioning and heat-efficient.
