Steel Doors in Colchester
Bespoke steel entrance doors for Colchester homes
Colchester in CO1, CO2, CO3, CO4 and CO6 is Britain's oldest recorded town (ancient Camulodunum, Roman capital before London), layering Grade I listed Roman walls, Norman Colchester Castle (the largest Norman keep in Europe) and Dutch Quarter timber frames. The town centre conservation area covers High Street, Head Street, North Hill, Castle Park and the Dutch Quarter along Maidenburgh Street and West Stockwell Street. Premium residential streets include the Lexden area (CO3) along Lexden Road, Wellesley Road and Fitzwalter Road carrying Edwardian and Victorian villas, while Shrub End and Prettygate add family detached stock. The Dedham Vale AONB fringe to the north (CO7) carries Grade I listed John Constable painting locations including Flatford Mill, Dedham village and East Bergholt, with country houses, converted farmsteads and estate properties. West Bergholt, Copford, Marks Tey and Aldham within CO6 add rural country stock on generous plots. The University of Essex presence adds further residential demand. SteelR bespoke steel entrance doors honour Colchester's deep heritage, with listed building consent handled in-house. CO1 through CO6 surveyed from our Ickenham workshop.
