Service Overview

UPVC Doors - explained without the sales script.

A UPVC door is the workhorse of the British home - affordable, weather-tight, low-maintenance, and when properly specified, every bit as secure as a steel-reinforced composite.

What it is
We supply and install UPVC front entrance doors, back doors, side doors and French doors. Every unit comes with multi-point locking, anti-snap cylinders, internally beaded glass and reinforced steel frames inside the UPVC profile.
Who it's for
Homeowners replacing a tired 1990s door, landlords specifying secure, low-maintenance entries, and anyone fighting a back-door draught that costs them sixty quid a winter.
When you need it
Replace when the seals are flat, the lock barrel turns roughly, the handles droop, the door rattles in the wind, or you can see daylight under the threshold. A door that won't latch first time is a door that's compromising your home insurance.
Why professional matters
Doors are a primary entry point in 76% of UK burglaries. PAS 24-tested cylinders and three-point hooks aren't optional - they're the minimum modern insurers expect. We fit them as standard, not as an upgrade.
What Happens If You Wait

The real cost of leaving it
another winter.

An ageing UPVC door doesn't just look tired. It quietly loses you money and security every week it stays in place.

Snap-locks invite burglary

Pre-2011 euro cylinders can be snapped open in under 60 seconds with widely available tools. Replacement is non-optional for insurance compliance.

Failed seals = wasted heat

Compressed door seals create a permanent inch of cold air infiltration. Across a winter that's measurable on the gas bill.

Warped frames jam shut

Sun on a south-facing door warps single-skinned UPVC. Once it sticks, the multi-point lock stops engaging fully - a security failure your insurer can rely on.

Outdated colour drops kerb appeal

A scuffed white UPVC slab in front of a sandstone Marches cottage knocks visible value off the property at viewings.

Common Mistakes We Fix
  • Specifying a cheap door with a single-point lock to save £200 - invalidating most home insurance policies.
  • Skipping the anti-snap, anti-bump, anti-pick cylinder upgrade.
  • Choosing a glazed panel without laminated glass on the half-light, leaving an easy hook-and-reach for the latch inside.
  • Buying a door online without an on-site survey - and ending up with a unit that's 12mm too narrow.
How We Work

A five-step process you can
actually plan around.

  1. 01

    Survey & sample

    We bring colour samples, glass swatches and a handle range to your kitchen table. Measure the opening, photograph the threshold, confirm the door-swing direction.

  2. 02

    Fixed written quote

    You receive: full spec, colour, glass, hardware finish, fitting, waste removal and warranty registration - in writing.

  3. 03

    Manufacture

    UK fabrication in 2–3 weeks for standard configurations, 4 weeks for non-stock colours or designer glass.

  4. 04

    Installation

    Most single doors fit in 3–5 hours. We never leave the property unsecured - the old door comes out, the new one goes in the same morning.

  5. 05

    Sign-off & guarantee

    Lock cycle-tested, threshold sealed, hinges and keeps adjusted, keys handed over with the 10-year insurance-backed certificate.

Why It's Worth Doing Right

Specific benefits.
No vague claims.

Insurance-grade security

Anti-snap TS007 3-star cylinders, internally beaded glass and three-point hooks come as standard.

Genuinely low maintenance

A wipe-down twice a year is the entire maintenance schedule for 25 years.

Warmer hallways

Foam-filled door slabs and brush-pile seals stop the front-door draught at the source.

Quiet, soft close

Modern hinges and adjustable keeps mean the door closes with one finger, not a slam.

Wide colour and glass choice

Twelve standard colours, custom RAL on request, and twenty-plus decorative glass designs.

Fast turnaround

Standard doors are surveyed, made and fitted inside three weeks from approval.

Specification in Detail

The technical detail
most installers skip.

UPVC door is a category, not a product. Specification decisions on lock, slab, glass and threshold change both the price and the everyday experience.

Lock systems we fit

All our doors run on Yale or Avocet TS007 3-star anti-snap, anti-bump, anti-drill euro cylinders. Standard locking is a three-point hook, with optional five-point on taller doors. Multi-point gearing is Maco or Roto - both UK-serviceable for 25+ years.

Door styles

Half-glazed panel (most popular for back doors), three-quarter glazed for hallway daylight, fully glazed French pairs for kitchen-to-patio access, solid panel for utility and side entries, and stable doors split horizontally for rural and pet-owning properties.

Glass options

Internally beaded toughened glass as standard, laminated upgrade for ground-floor security, Pilkington Texture range for privacy in WCs and side doors, leaded and Georgian bar overlays for period properties, and triple-glazed sealed units for thermal-priority installs.

Thresholds and access

Standard 50mm rebated threshold for weather sealing, low-level 15mm aluminium threshold for wheelchair and pushchair access, and Part M-compliant thresholds for any new-build or accessibility-graded property.

Where UPVC wins versus composite

UPVC undercuts composite by roughly 25–40% on like-for-like security spec. For back doors, side doors, French doors and most utility entries, UPVC is the smarter purchase. Composite earns its place primarily on prominent front entries where the timber-grain aesthetic matters.
