Pls recommend internal Victorian door sources

[KidKruger]

Need to replace half a dozen or so Victorian (four panel) doors, standard sizes give or take, I’ve had a look around tinternet but wondering if anyone already has a decent source. Just looking for straight replacements, I presume the doors are pine, if not maybe oak. Either way I’ll probably go by the look of the door anyway when purchasing. 

Thanks in advance.

Check put skips, I see dozens of old doors, used to allow more stuff to be put in them.  Shame. 

Place on Kirkdale Sydenham, may even be called Doors and Old Bath house Sydenham

Thanks Malumbu, but I need level square doors and my experience says skips demonstrate why a door has been discarded !

i’ve also been down the route of buying secondhand doors and then having them dipped to remove the paint and then having them warp in the door frame🤣

thanks for the Sydenham tip, I will look into that.

The Kirkdale place is now rebranded as Dulwich Reclamation.  From casual observation more and more people are chucking out Victorian Edwardian and 30s doors as they are referbishing their properties.  Less interest in period features now.  They are often in good condition but once in the skip will get quickly battered.  

If they are stripped in caustic soda that can warp them.  There are far less strippers (!) than last millennium and you can no longer get the non caustic alternative spice the pesky EU banned methylene dichloride just because some people aphixiated when using industrial quantities
