The door material affects the look, security, maintenance and overall feel of the entrance. Timber, composite, uPVC and aluminium can all work well, but each suits different properties, door styles and priorities.
During the survey, we can talk through the options, look at the style of the property and help you choose a material that works with the opening, the type of door and the finish you want.
Timber doors have a traditional, natural appearance and suit period, character and older properties particularly well. They can also work on newer homes where a warmer, more classic look is preferred.
Composite doors are a popular choice for front and back entrances. They combine several materials to create a strong, secure door with the look of timber but less maintenance.
uPVC doors are a practical, low-maintenance option used across many UK homes. They are easy to look after and work well for front, back, French and patio doors.
Aluminium doors offer slim frames, strength and a clean, modern appearance. They are particularly well suited to larger glazed doors such as sliding and bifold systems.
FAQs
Yes. You don't need to replace every door in the property. We can replace a single front door, back door, patio door or other individual door if that's all that's needed.
Often, yes. Problems with locks, handles, hinges, seals, alignment and doors that have become difficult to open or close can often be repaired. We'll assess the problem first and only recommend a full replacement if a repair isn't practical or worthwhile.
