Wanted: recovered Victorian door

Postby Timchilli » Sun Sep 07, 2008 5:42 pm

Bizarre request, but does anyone know where I can buy any traditional Victorian doors, recovered/salvaged from renovated/demolished houses?

Hey man, my folks have a pile of old doors (not stripped) in a garage that they want to get rid of

I think that the doors came from houses in Dunoon many years ago!

PM me if you want more info

Hmmm I wonder what happens if i press that lever.... Ahh It operates that shiny new plug socket!

Cheers for that. I wondered where they had moved too. I too am short of a door, and can't find one

Try Turner Demolition (or somethin like that...) in Lugar, Ayrshire. They do house clearances, and all sorts, and can generally find anything from auld bits of plywood full of nails, to ships anchors.

Don't have my size online, but as they are in Holmlea rd, I may go in next time I am going out to cathcart.
Cheers.
