Service overview
We supply and fit new composite or uPVC doors for the front and back of your home. That includes taking out the old door and frame, fitting the new one level and square, sealing it, and making good around it.
Homeowners who want a stronger, smarter entrance, a back door that no longer sticks or leaks, or a door that locks with confidence. It is also for anyone fed up of a door that has dropped, swollen or drags on the floor.
When a door no longer closes cleanly, when the frame is damaged, when draughts come round the edges, when the lock is unreliable, or when the door simply lets the house down. If the issue is just a lock or handle, a repair may be enough.
A door is used dozens of times a day. If the frame is not fitted square, the door drops, the lock stops lining up and the seals wear unevenly. Careful fitting is what keeps a door working smoothly for years.
The cost of waiting
Our process
01
David looks at the existing door and frame, measures the opening and talks about what you want from the new door.
02
We discuss composite or uPVC and what suits your home, front or back.
03
You get one clear, fixed price. No pressure and no obligation.
04
The old door and frame come out, the new one goes in level, square, fixed and sealed, then the edges are made good.
05
We open, close and lock the door with you and hand over the keys. Door frames carry a 10-year manufacturer guarantee.
What you get
A correctly fitted door lines up with its keep, so it locks without lifting, pushing or slamming.
New seals and a properly fitted frame stop cold air coming round the edges.
A new front door changes the look of the whole house from the street.
10-year manufacturer guarantee on door frames and 12 months on hardware such as hinges, locks and handles.
The quote you agree is the price you pay. No surprises halfway through.
You deal with David, who does the work and stands behind it.
In detail
A composite door is built from several materials bonded together, typically a solid or reinforced core with a tough outer skin. The aim is a door that feels heavy and solid, resists knocks and weather, and keeps its appearance.
Composite doors are a popular choice for front entrances because of their solid feel and the range of styles and finishes available.
uPVC doors use the same family of material as uPVC windows. They are practical, need very little maintenance and are often used for back and side doors, though they are fitted at the front of many homes too.
During the survey we can talk through composite and uPVC side by side so you can choose what suits your home and budget.
A front door has to look right and feel secure. A back door often takes more weather and more daily traffic, especially if it leads to a garden. Both need a frame that is fitted properly and a lock that lines up every time.
We fit both, and the process is the same: survey, fixed price, fitting, then a full check with you before we leave.
Most modern doors use a multi-point locking system, where lifting the handle engages several locking points along the edge of the door. That only works smoothly when the door sits correctly in the frame.
Hardware such as hinges, locks and handles is covered by a 12-month guarantee. If a lock or handle on an existing door is the only problem, see our window and door repairs page.
Over time, doors can drop on their hinges, frames can move, and seals can wear. The result is a door that catches, needs lifting to lock or lets in draughts.
Sometimes an adjustment or repair is enough. Sometimes the frame itself is the problem and a new door is the sensible fix. At the survey we will tell you honestly which applies.
Prices depend on the door and the opening, so they are not listed. You get a free survey and a fixed-price quote before you agree to anything.
Both are fitted. David will talk you through each at the free survey so you can choose what suits your home and budget.
Door frames carry a 10-year manufacturer guarantee, glass units 5 years, and hardware such as hinges, locks and handles 12 months.
Yes. Every quote is fixed-price, so the figure you agree is the figure you pay.
It depends on the door and the opening. David will explain the timing at the survey so you can plan for it.
Not necessarily. Locks, handles and hinges can often be repaired or replaced on their own, backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Yes. DW Glazing and Repairs holds £2,000,000 public liability insurance, so your home is covered while the work is carried out.
