What is the difference between composite and uPVC doors?

Composite doors have a high-density insulating core wrapped in a tough GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) skin, making them more rigid, thermally efficient, and secure than standard uPVC. uPVC doors are lighter and more affordable. We can advise on the best option for your budget and requirements.

Are bi-fold doors suitable for an Essex climate?

Yes, modern bi-fold doors feature thermally broken aluminium frames and multi-point locking systems designed for the UK climate. They are highly weather-resistant and energy-efficient.

How long does a door installation take?

A single door replacement typically takes half a day. Bi-fold or larger door systems may take a full day depending on the aperture size.

Do you supply handles, letterplates and door accessories?

Yes, we can advise on handles, letterplates, numbers, knockers, spyholes, cylinders, and finish options where they are available for the chosen door range.

Make a statement from the moment you arrive home

Front, rear, and garden openings

We fit composite and uPVC entrance doors, stable doors for controlled ventilation, and French, sliding, bi-fold, and heritage aluminium doors for garden and extension openings. The right choice depends on what the opening has to do: security and kerb appeal at the front, practical everyday access at the rear, and light, views, and movement for garden rooms.

Measured before specified

French doors, aluminium sliders, and bi-folds each change the clear opening, threshold, hardware layout, and view through the glass. We measure first, then specify the frame material, opening style, locking, threshold, and glazing around the property before our own team installs it.

Door guide

Which door suits the house?

A good door choice starts with how it will look on the house: colour, glass, handles, letterplate, frame colour, and how the finish sits against the brickwork, render, windows, and roofline. Security and insulation should be specified properly on every door; the real decision is choosing the style that suits the property, then matching the opening type to how you use that entrance day to day.

Anthracite composite front door installed with brickwork and entrance detail

Composite doors: Front-door colour, glass, hardware, and kerb appeal. Choose this when the front of the house needs a stronger style statement, a wider colour choice, and a more finished entrance look.
uPVC doors: Practical rear, side, and value-led access doors. Choose this when the brief is low maintenance, useful panel and glass choice, and a sensible replacement cost.
Stable doors: Ventilation, pets, children, garden access, and utility entrances. Choose this when the top half needs to open for air while the lower half stays closed for control.
French doors: Smaller hinged garden openings. Choose this when a simple hinged pair gives enough access without the track depth or panel stack of larger systems.
Aluminium bi-folds: Maximum clear opening to the garden. Choose this when opening up as much of the wall as possible matters more than the closed-door view.
Aluminium sliding patio doors: Large glass, wider views, and no swing space. Choose this when the view through larger glass panels matters more than opening the full wall.
Heritage aluminium doors: Slim steel-look divisions and period-style projects. Choose this when slimmer dark framing and divided glazing are part of the character of the property.
