Joiner wanted. Door repair. Recommendations?

My front door needs some t.l.c.  It's a large door on a period property so I'm going to struggle to get a new one. 

Someone has put a cat flap in it in the past ??? which hasn't helped.  It has sagged very slightly and requires a slam to get it closed.  I want to see if it can be repaired.

Can anyone recommend a joiner/carpenter who can help?

cheers

My brother in law is foreman for a large window manufacturing company. He specialises in listed buildings and only works in wood. Maybe there is such a company near yourself ? Making a new traditional door is easy for those with the skills and equipment but not cheap there again it could be cost effective compared to proper repair. AFAIK traditional doors with panels such as the one with the cat flap are made without fixing. To replace one panel would need the door disassembling to allow the new one to fit. Of course a joiner might be able to do something but unless the door is painted then it'd going to be visible for a varnished item. Have you also considered a salvage yard for a good used item ?
