[Request free survey](/contact) [01495 825934](tel:+441495825934) ASSURE registered · MTC-certified installers · 10-year guarantee - VEKA Approved Installer - ASSURE Registered - MTC-Certified Fitters - 10-Year Guarantee + IBG - £1M Public Liability Service overview ## Why composite is now the default premium front door A composite door is a solid, layered door — a GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) or timber-faced skin bonded to a high-density insulated core, with a reinforced structural frame. The result is a door that reads and feels far more substantial than uPVC and requires none of the maintenance of timber. It's the right service for anyone replacing a tired uPVC or timber front door, upgrading kerb appeal, buying a house that lost its 'first-impression' door decades ago, or specifying a robust rear or side entrance where security matters. You need a proper installer because a composite door is heavy. Frame packing, hinge specification, threshold bedding and multi-point lock alignment all decide whether the door still closes cleanly in year five. Our fitting team does this every week. The cost of leaving it ## The reasons people finally replace their front door Front doors rarely get replaced because they've completely failed — they get replaced because their failures have become daily. ### Draughts you feel every day Failing seals, worn hinges and warped uPVC leaves cold air into the hallway 24/7. Your heating fights it constantly. ### A door that doesn't feel safe Older doors with single-cam locks and thin skins can be defeated in seconds. Composite doors change that. ### The house that looks tired from the road Nothing dates a house like a faded, chalky, mismatched front door. Nothing lifts it like a well-chosen composite. ### Repair bills that add up Every failed hinge, worn cylinder and re-siliconed threshold on an old door is money spent on a door that still isn't right. Replacement stops the cycle. Our process ## Five steps from enquiry to guaranteed install. 1. STEP 01 ### Free survey We visit, measure, and walk you through door styles, colour, glazing options, hardware finishes and any side-panel or top-light configuration you need. 2. STEP 02 ### Written quote in 1–2 days Itemised — door, frame, glazing, cylinder and hardware. Valid 30 days. 3. STEP 03 ### Order & manufacture 50% deposit. Door manufactured to your survey dimensions in your specified style and colour. 4–6 week lead time. 4. STEP 04 ### Installation Old door out, aperture prepped, new frame set level, door hung, hardware adjusted, sealed inside and out. 5. STEP 05 ### Handover ASSURE-notified, 10-year guarantee, 5-year glass, IBG cover, keys handed over and balance settled. Benefits ## Concrete outcomes — not vague promises. ### Genuine kerb appeal A composite door in the right colour transforms how the whole house reads from the street. ### Serious security Multi-point locking, anti-snap cylinders, high-security keeps and PAS 24-rated systems available. ### Insulated solid core Thermally efficient — no cold spot around the front door for the first time. ### Weather and colour holds The exterior skin holds its finish for decades — no repainting, no fading, no peeling foil. ### 1000+ configurations Colour, style, glazing, hardware, letterplate, knocker, spy-hole — chosen to match the house, not off the shelf. ### 10-year cover, IBG-backed Guarantee independently underwritten so the cover holds no matter what.

Colour is manufactured in; there's nothing to peel or repaint. ### Glazing Toughened decorative panels, obscure privacy patterns, clear vision panels — chosen to match the style and let the right amount of light into the hallway. ### Hardware Chrome, brushed nickel, black, gold and antique brass finishes. Handles, letterplates, knockers, spy-holes and numerals coordinated at survey. ### Security spec Multi-point locking as standard, anti-snap cylinders (TS007 3-star or Kitemarked equivalent) and PAS 24-tested systems available. ### Residential vs commercial Predominantly residential, but composite is also our go-to for HMO front doors, rental portfolios and small commercial entrances where security and low maintenance matter. Frequently asked ## Everything homeowners ask before booking. How much does a composite door cost? Depends on size, style, glazing and hardware — fixed itemised quote after a free on-site survey. How long does installation take? Single door replacements are usually complete in a day. Configurations with side panels or top lights can take slightly longer. How secure are composite doors? Very — multi-point locking, anti-snap cylinders, reinforced frame and thick solid core. PAS 24-rated systems available. Do they warp or fade? No — the composite skin holds its shape and colour for decades. Warping is essentially a timber-door problem. How thermally efficient are they? Excellent — the insulated core outperforms both uPVC and traditional timber doors on U-values. Can I match the colour to my windows? Yes — we colour-coordinate composite doors with existing or newly installed uPVC or aluminium frames. What guarantee do I get? 10 years on the door and frame, 5 years on the glass, IBG-backed for independent protection. Can you fit a composite door in an existing aperture? In almost all cases, yes — we survey the aperture and confirm before quoting. Non-standard apertures are handled with side-panel or top-light configurations. Do you install composite doors in Newport? Yes — Newport, Blackwood, Caerphilly, Cwmbran, Ebbw Vale, Pontypool, Tredegar and across Gwent. Related services ## Often specified together.
