Replacement doors
A tired entrance does more than date your façade — it can leak heat, stick in bad weather and leave you second-guessing security. Our replacement doors solve all three.

We design and install made-to-measure systems for front and back doors that feel solid, close cleanly and keep draughts out, with colours and glass that look like they were chosen for your home (not the catalogue). From one-off replace front door projects to full sets with sidelights and top lights, we handle everything from survey to sign-off with clear communication and tidy workmanship.
Upgrading a door is about the system: insulated slabs or thermally broken frames, A-rated glazing in any panels, compression seals that stay tight, and hardware set so the lock engages positively without forcing. Get those right and the difference is instant the first evening you lock up.
Replacement external doors — choosing the right type
We replace every common entrance style with specifications tuned to British weather and everyday use:
- Composite doors: the modern benchmark — dense insulating core, timber-look skins, robust locks and huge colour/glass choice.
- UPVC doors: excellent value with multi-chamber frames, low maintenance and a wide palette of colours and wood-effect foils.
- Aluminium doors: slim, rigid frames with thermal breaks; ideal for contemporary schemes or where you want more glass without bulk.
Whichever route you choose, we coordinate colours and hardware with your existing windows and roofline so everything reads as one design.
Replace front door — make a confident first impression
Your front door sets the tone for the entire elevation. We help you specify:
- Panel style: classic moulded panels, modern flush skins, or period details that fit the street
- Glazing: from clear top lights to privacy or decorative patterns that keep prying eyes out while letting light in
- Furniture: knockers, numerals and letterplates with draught control in chrome, satin, brass or black
- Side panels/top lights: where extra light helps; we keep sightlines and proportions crisp
With a measured survey and made-to-measure manufacture, gaps are even, thresholds sit right and the finish looks intentional from every angle.
New back door — practical, secure and easy to live with
Rear doors work harder than the front: pets, shopping, recycling, muddy boots. We specify:
- Easy-clean skins and frames that shrug off knocks
- Weatherproof thresholds that drain properly and stay easy to step over
- Toughened or laminated glass for safety and security
- Handles and locks calibrated for frequent use
Prefer a full-glazed feel for the kitchen? We’ll balance light with etched privacy glass so the room stays bright without feeling exposed.
Energy performance you’ll feel in the hallway
A modern door stops heat loss where it matters. Expect:
- Insulated cores (composite) or thermally broken frames (aluminium) to slow conductive transfer
- Low-E, argon-filled A-rated units in glazed panels and sidelights for low U-values
- Compression seals and brush stacks around the slab and threshold to block draught paths
- Warm-edge spacers to reduce edge condensation
The pay-off: steadier temperatures and fewer cold spots by the entrance — even on blustery evenings.
Security built in, not bolted on
We fit protection that works quietly in the background:
- Multi-point locking with robust keeps set to the correct depths
- High-security cylinders (anti-snap, anti-pick, anti-drill)
- Hinge bolts and reinforced screw-ports on vulnerable edges
- Laminated safety glass in low-level panes and sidelights
- PAS 24 options available without adding visual bulk
From the kerb you see clean lines, not oversized ironmongery.
Colours, finishes and textures
Go classic, modern or heritage:
- Neutrals: White, Cream and soft heritage greens for timeless façades
- Deep tones: Anthracite, Slate and Black for confident contrast
- Wood-effect foils: Golden Oak, Rosewood, Irish Oak for warmth without upkeep
- Dual-colour: a statement exterior with fresh White inside to match décor
We’ll bring sample boards to the survey so you can compare finishes in natural light.
Replace uPVC door or repair — what’s best value?
If your uPVC door has a single failed unit or a tired handle, a targeted repair can extend its life. When frames are distorted, multiple panes have failed or seals have perished generally, it’s time to replace uPVC door. A new, A-rated door upgrades insulation, security and looks in a single, tidy project — and avoids years of piecemeal fixes.

- Measured survey We capture exact sizes, hinge side and swing, threshold height, side-panel/top-light details, floor build-ups and reveal depths. Any structural or conservation notes are recorded now.
- Made-to-measure manufacture Your door is built to specification: material, colour, glazing, hardware and security level (including PAS 24 if required).
- Professional installation Frames set level, plumb and square with the right packers and fixings for your substrate. Continuous internal air-seals, weatherproof external finishing, clean cills and neat seal lines. Waste removed, area tidied.
- Handover & paperwork We demonstrate operation and maintenance, then issue your documentation and guarantees. You’ll know exactly what to expect from day one.
Planning, compliance and documentation
Like-for-like replacement external doors rarely need planning permission, but they must meet Building Regulations for thermal performance and safety glazing. We handle compliance and provide the paperwork you’ll need for future sales. If you’re changing the opening size or working in a conservation-sensitive area, we’ll advise on sympathetic designs and any permissions.

Questions
Your questions, answered
How long does a front door replacement take?
Often a single morning or afternoon including removal, fitting, sealing and tidy. Sets with side panels or making-good can take longer; we’ll confirm after survey
Will a darker colour fade?
Modern skins and foils are UV-stable. With simple, non-abrasive cleaning, deep tones like Anthracite or Black keep their colour for years.
Can you match the new door to my windows?
Yes. We coordinate colours, grains and hardware so the elevation looks designed, not pieced together.
Are low thresholds still weather-tight?
Yes — detailed correctly, they balance accessibility and weathering. We set drainage so water moves away from the opening.
What if I’m not sure on style?
We’ll bring sample boards and photos of installed doors to your survey, and sketch options so you can compare looks in your actual opening.
