A 44mm solid composite slab, GRP-skinned in real timber grain, with a triple-laminated security core. Fifty colours, a hundred glass options, fitted in a single visit and guaranteed for a decade.
PAS 24 security-tested · Secured by Design accredited · 600+ doors fitted across the Marches.
A composite front door is the most-photographed, most-touched element of your house. It sets the tone for everything inside and quietly does the security work that keeps your insurance valid.
The wrong front door is more than an aesthetic mistake - it's a recurring tax on your home's value, energy bill and security posture.
Estate agents consistently cite the front door as one of the top three viewing-day factors. A poor door subtracts thousands from offers.
Solid timber doors absorb winter moisture, swell, then split. Repair cycles cost £200–£400 every 3–4 years.
Cheap pre-2015 composites used PVC skins that bubble in direct sun. Modern GRP skins eliminate the failure mode.
Insurers increasingly require BS3621 mortice or PAS 24 multi-point as a minimum. A tired door with a basic euro cylinder may not meet your policy wording.
We bring physical colour swatches, glass samples and hardware finishes to your front step. The morning light on your elevation tells us more than any showroom.
You receive: slab, colour, glass design, hardware, threshold, fitting, waste and registration of the 10-year insurance-backed guarantee.
Bespoke UK manufacture in 3–4 weeks for standard configurations. Premium ranges (Solidor, Door-Stop) typically 4–5 weeks.
Most front doors fit in 4–6 hours. The opening is never left exposed - the new door is hung, locked and weather-sealed before we leave the driveway.
Lock test, key handover, threshold sealed, paperwork registered. We log the colour and glass code in case you ever need a matching back door.
Heavier and stiffer than 28mm plastic doors - closes with the satisfying thud of timber.
GRP skin holds colour for 15+ years in UK weather without flaking or fading visibly.
Solid timber, dense insulating foam and steel reinforcement combine for a high-security envelope.
U-values from 1.0 W/m²K - significantly warmer than equivalent UPVC or timber.
PAS 24-tested as standard; insurance discounts available on some policies.
Fifty colours, woodgrain or smooth finishes, period or modern furniture, leaded or contemporary glass.
Not every composite door is the same engineering. Skin material, core construction, slab thickness and hardware grade all separate the £900 budget unit from the £2,400 designer install.
We fit 44mm solid-core composites only - never the 28mm budget slabs that bow in heat. Cores are FSC-certified timber with high-density polyurethane insulation and a galvanised steel reinforcing frame between the inner and outer GRP skins.
Solidor for the premium woodgrain heritage range, Door-Stop for fast-turnaround standard composites, Hurst Composite for designer modern profiles. We choose the brand based on your aesthetic brief and budget, not on what we hold in stock.
Avocet ABS or Yale Platinum 3-star anti-snap cylinders, Yale or Maco multi-point locking with five hook bolts, banham or bespoke designer furniture in chrome, brass, satin or graphite. Smart lock retrofits (Yale Linus, Ultion Nuki) available on request.
Fifty stock colours including chartwell green, racing green, anthracite grey, French navy, duck egg, classic black, French gold and brick red. Woodgrain texture as standard, smooth finish as an option. Different inside and outside colours available for no upcharge.
Toughened safety glass as standard, laminated upgrade for ground-floor security, decorative ranges including art deco, Tiffany leaded, abstract modern and traditional Georgian bars. Sandblasted privacy and bevelled clear options available.
