How long does a composite door installation take?
Many composite door installations are completed in a single day. Our team will remove your existing door, fit the new frame and door, make sure it is level and secure, and leave your home clean and tidy. We'll confirm the timings when we quote.
Are composite doors more secure than uPVC doors?
Composite doors are generally stronger than standard uPVC doors, with a solid core and multi-point locking. The exact locks, cylinders and security certifications depend on the door you choose, and we'll talk you through the options during your free survey.
Do composite doors need planning permission in the UK?
In most cases, no. Replacing a front or back door with a composite door is usually permitted development and does not require planning permission. However, if your property is in a conservation area or is a listed building, you may need approval. If you're unsure, check with your local authority.
What composite door colours are available?
Composite doors come in a wide range of colours, including Anthracite Grey, Black, White, green shades, Cream, Red and Blue. Many doors can also have a different colour inside and outside. We'll show you the options available for your chosen door.
How much does a composite door cost?
Our composite doors start from £1,299 supplied and fitted. The final price depends on the style, glazing and hardware, and you receive a fixed price after your free survey.
Do you offer finance for composite doors?
Yes. When you pay by our secure payment link, you can choose to spread the cost with Shop Pay Installments or Klarna, subject to approval. See our Pay in Instalments page for details.
How long do composite doors last?
A well-maintained composite door can last 30 years or more. Unlike timber doors, composite doors do not warp or rot, and they need very little maintenance, usually just a wipe with a damp cloth. Guarantee details depend on the door and specification you choose, and are confirmed in your quote.
