Composite doors
A composite door is built from several materials, typically a solid core with a tough GRP outer skin. You get the look of timber with the low maintenance of modern materials: there is no painting or varnishing, and basic cleaning is all it needs. We supply a wide range of styles and colours, composite doors offer excellent thermal performance, and the solid core and modern multi-point locking make them very secure.
Composite front doors from £1,250 (budget range) or £1,499 (premium range), and composite back doors from £1,150, supplied and fitted. See our composite doors.
uPVC external doors
uPVC external doors are weather-resistant doors made from reinforced plastic, suitable for front, back and side entrances. uPVC does not rot, swell or warp, and it performs well in rain, wind and cold. A well-fitted uPVC door cuts draughts and heat loss, which helps keep your heating bills down, and a wipe-down with soapy water is all the upkeep it needs.

Wooden external doors
Our wooden external doors are made to measure, with glazing and traditional detailing if you want it. The range includes front and back doors, French door sets, sliding patio doors and bi-fold doors. Wooden doors are usually the preferred choice for traditional and character buildings, and we can match original detailing. Wood is a good natural insulator, and a made-to-measure door fitted properly keeps the draughts out.
Each door set is pre-finished in our Bathgate factory, in any colour you choose. A wooden door does need periodic painting or refinishing to protect it and keep it looking its best.

Accoya doors
Accoya is a modified timber known for exceptional durability and dimensional stability, which makes it ideal for bespoke external doors. It has outstanding resistance to swelling, shrinking and warping, so the door stays true and the finish lasts, and it performs extremely well in harsh and coastal conditions. Accoya is made from sustainably sourced timber, has a long service life and needs far less attention than ordinary timber. We are approved Accoya suppliers and installers.

French, patio and stable doors
French and patio doors start from £1,850 and stable doors from £2,695, supplied and fitted. Many of our doors can also be supplied with fanlights, sidelights or side panels to suit the opening, and in many cases existing fanlights, glass or side panels can be kept. We assess what can be retained at the home visit. Frosted, obscure and decorative glass is available too.
Security and weather standards
Our uPVC and composite external doors meet the PAS 23 and PAS 24 weather and security standards. They are fitted with multi-point locking, with the locking specified to your requirements, including BS3621 and insurance-approved cylinders where you want them. Our uPVC doors have reinforced frames, and our composite doors have a solid core.

- Your quoted price includes the door itself, your choice of standard finishes, your choice of door handles and fitting by experienced joiners.
- Removal and disposal of your old external door, frame and components: £25 per door, shown clearly on your quote.
- All prices include VAT.
- Our uPVC and composite external doors are covered by our minimum 10-year product guarantee, and our workmanship is guaranteed for a minimum of 1 year.
Lead times, deposit and finance
- Standard doors are usually fitted 6 to 8 weeks from order. Bespoke timber doors, made to your design in our factory, take around 16 to 18 weeks. We confirm your dates when you order.
- Delays are rare, but if a material is held up in manufacture or supply, we tell you straight away and agree a new date.
- We ask for a £200 deposit when you place your order. The balance is due on completion, once your doors are fitted and you are happy with them.
- Finance is available on orders from £750 to £15,000, repaid over 12 to 36 months, arranged through our credit broker. It is interest-bearing credit, so the total you repay is more than the cash price. Use our finance calculator to see what the monthly payments could look like.
