Replacement Doors

5 Star Reviews

door replacement that upgrades comfort, security and kerb appeal in one go

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.

Signs you’re ready for door replacement

You feel cold air or see daylight around the seals
The handle needs force to lock, or the latch doesn’t bite reliably
The slab or frame is warped, swollen or faded
Condensation or fog sits between double-glazed panes
Threshold scuffs, water ingress or swelling after rain

If two or more of these are showing, door replacement usually beats patch repairs on cost and comfort over the long term.

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.

Our replacement process — clear, calm and tidy

Advice & options
Tell us what you want to change — a smarter frontage, a warmer hall, a smoother close. We’ll show sample skins, glass and furniture with itemised pricing.
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.

Glazing options to suit privacy, light and noise

Privacy/etched patterns for street-facing doors and neighbours-close boundaries
Acoustic laminates to soften traffic noise in front halls
Solar control tints for sun-soaked elevations
Toughened/laminated safety to meet regulations and security needs

We specify room-by-room so the door serves how you actually live.

Everyday care — five-minute habits that add years

Wipe skins/frames with a mild solution; avoid harsh abrasives
Lightly oil locks and hinges twice a year
Keep weatherseals and thresholds free of grit
Vacuum any threshold channels (on patio/bifold sets) now and then
If handle force creeps up, call us early — small tweaks prevent wear

Questions people ask before replacing a door

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.

Ready to refresh the entrance and feel the difference each time you close the door?

Share a couple of photos and what you’d like to improve — warmth, quiet, appearance or all three — and we’ll design a replacement door that does the lot without fuss. Clear options, considerate fitting and support that sticks around.
