They make a great addition for homeowners seeking a high-quality, secure, and stylish entrance with minimal upkeep.

Discover more about our replacement doors
To help you find the perfect replacement door we’ve answered some of the most common questions we’re asked about our door range. If you’d like more advice on which door is right for you, our Premium Retailers will be happy to answer any questions you have.
What are the best materials for replacement doors?
You’re not confined to one door material – we have a series of material choices.
First up we have UPVC doors which we characterise as robust, hassle-free, and thermally efficient. They don’t rot, they don’t warp, and they don’t corrode, an illustration of why they enjoy great popularity. Some UPVC door collections can be a bit ‘samey’, but there’s a myriad of styles in our UPVC door suite and a plethora of finishes to add to them. They don’t fall short in the area of insulation either, promising to keep homes consistently cosy.
Aluminium doors carry less weight than UPVC doors and are corrosion-resistant, putting them firmly in contention for installation at traditional and contemporary residences. They possess amazing strength and resilience and appeal to householders searching for a door that’s sleek and conservative.
Something deemed ‘composite’ is made of various different parts and composite doors consist of materials like UPVC and timber. Amalgamating these together creates a hard-wearing frame offering substantial insulation. Tailoring a composite door is straightforward enough if you want it to echo the aesthetics of a wooden door.
This brings us on to timber doors, boasting a timeless look that emits extraordinary character and warmth. Superbly insulating, modern timber doors heed present-day energy efficiency necessities.
As a Premium Retailer will inform you, material choice is very much dependent on your allotted budget, favoured style, and what extent of maintenance you’re prepared to carry out. Never hesitate to consult with the experts at your Premium Retailer if you need support to underpin your chosen door material.
How long does it take to fit a new front door?
This depends on a number of factors, however most doors will be fit within a day. Before then, our Premium Retailers will spend time designing your dream door, working with you to get it just right.
Without complications in the installation process, you can expect to have your current door removed and replaced in one day. This includes checking all security features are in place.
How much do replacement front doors cost?
The answer to this depends on your choice of door material, design, glazing and accessories. When you speak with your Premium Retailer with your style preferences and requirements they will be able to give you an accurate quote.
UPVC doors are the most affordable of our options and offer excellent value for money, while still providing strong insulation and security. Composite doors, known for their durability and aesthetic versatility, sit mid-range in cost but offer a premium feel and long-term performance.
Aluminium doors typically cost more due to their high-end finishes and unique advantages in style and strength. Each option brings distinct benefits, so your choice will ultimately reflect your budget, style, and performance priorities.
Does replacing the front door add value to your house?
A new front door will of course add value to your home as it immediately boosts your kerb appeal. Buyers favour a welcoming entrance and the front door plays a big part in this. A new front door doesn’t just enhance your home’s aesthetics – it also provides added security and improved energy efficiency, which buyers increasingly appreciate.
With a range of stylish, durable materials like composite, aluminium, UPVC available, a well-chosen door can set your home apart, making it feel both inviting and well-cared for.
Does the door frame need to be replaced at the same time as the door?
Not always, but it’s often recommended to replace the door frame at the same time as the door, especially if the existing frame shows signs of wear, warping, or damage.
A new frame ensures a secure, weather-tight fit, enhancing the door’s performance in terms of insulation and security whether it’s a front door or conservatory doors. Your Premium Retailer can assess your setup and advise on the best option moving forward.
