Solid Core, Not Hollow
A 44mm solid laminated timber core, not a hollow shell filled with foam. It shuts with a thud, not a rattle.
44mm solid core



Ultimate Home Solutions supplies and fits new composite doors across Bishopbriggs and the G64 villages, with the survey done at your door and nothing to pay for it. Much of the town went up in the sixties and seventies, and the estates at Woodhill, Huntershill and Jellyhill are full of houses still wearing the door the builder hung. Older property round Kenmure and Auchinairn tends to have a vestibule behind the front door, and the newer flats out by Westerhill and Low Moss have openings that are anything but standard. Each door is built to its own opening, with a solid core around 44mm thick behind a moulded skin, so it shuts with authority and never needs sanding down. Vetted installers fit it inside a day and all workmanship is guaranteed.
Sixty years of Scottish weather is a long time for a front door, and most of the original ones round here are past their best: swollen in winter, draughty in the hall, tired at the threshold. Composite starts from a different place. Here is what goes into one.
A 44mm solid laminated timber core, not a hollow shell filled with foam. It shuts with a thud, not a rattle.
44mm solid coreMulti-point locking with a 3-star anti-snap cylinder as standard. The standard insurers ask for.
PAS 24 testedThe insulated core stops the hallway draught you get from an old wooden door with a gap under it.
U-value from 1.0Heritage shades, modern greys, woodgrain finishes and a full range of decorative and leaded glass.
200+ combinationsComposite shrugs off rain. No sticking in a wet January, no gap opening up when the heating goes on.

Same-day installDid what they said they would do and on time.
After succesfully installing our new bathroom, we hired Ultimate Home Solutions for our complete kitchen strip out, and rebuild. Again found them to be very reliable, punctual and professional in every aspect. From kitchen design, through fitting, plumbing, electrics, decorating and post installation courtesy visit. Highly recommended.
From start to finish very professional, fantastic job looks great.

Somebody comes out and measures for nothing, the quote costs nothing and binds you to nothing, and the door is in and locked inside a day. Springfield, Meadowburn or up at Torrance, the arrangement is identical.

The online designer is for our Palladio range, the premium end of what we fit. It does not cover the other door ranges on this page. Choose a style, try it in every colour, compare the glass patterns and set the handle, the letterplate and the knocker.
Opens the Palladio door designer in a new tab. Free to use, nothing to download, and no obligation.
A surveyor comes out free of charge, measures the opening and the sill, and brings colour, glass and hardware samples so you can choose at your own front door.
A free, no-obligation quote follows, showing the door style, colour, glass and locks you chose. Take as long as you like over it.
Most composite doors go in within a single working day. The old door and frame are removed, the new set is fitted, sealed and locked, and the waste leaves with the installers.
You are shown the locks, then given the keys, the installation certificate and care notes, and we check in with you a few weeks later. All workmanship is guaranteed.

There is no script at this end. The people who answer arrange door surveys all week, seven days out of seven, and we try to come back to every message inside the hour.
Call 0800 029 3875Most composite front doors come out between £950 and £2,200 installed, which takes in removing the old door, disposing of it and the certification. The colour, the glass design, the hardware finish and any side panels move it about inside that band. Nothing is charged for the survey and the quote binds you to nothing. Various deposit options are available.
Only in that there are two doors to think about rather than one. Older houses around Kenmure and Auchinairn very often have an inner vestibule door behind the outer one. The surveyor measures both, and you can replace the outer door alone or do the pair together. Doing both at once tends to make the bigger difference to the draught.
Often, yes, and that is not a problem. Builders on the Woodhill, Huntershill and Jellyhill estates worked to their own sizes, and sixty years of settlement means very few openings are still square. Nothing is bought off a shelf here. The frame is made to the measurements the surveyor records, so the door fits the hole rather than the other way round.
More than most people expect. A composite door is six times more insulating than timber, and where you currently have a hollow panel there is effectively nothing in the middle of it. The insulated core, the weather seals and a lock that pulls the door onto them all work together, and the hall is generally the first room to feel the change.
PAS 24, to begin with, which is the British standard for resistance to forced entry and every door we fit is tested to it. Then the detail: a solid core rather than a void, multi-point locking with hooks and bolts into the frame, a 3-star Kitemarked anti-snap cylinder and laminated glass in any glazed panel.
Past 200 colour and glass combinations. Greys and blacks sell hardest on the newer streets, heritage greens and creams suit the older houses, and woodgrain finishes read as timber from the pavement. The inside face can be a different colour, and handles come in chrome, gold, matt black or antique.
Only for as long as it takes to swap the frames over, which is an hour or two in the middle of the morning. The whole job is one working day: old set out, new frame in and sealed, door hung, glass and hardware fitted, locking explained, waste away in the van.
We do, and to Bardowie, Balmuildy and Mavis Valley as well. Every G64 address is covered, and the survey is free wherever you are in it, with nothing charged for the run out to the villages.
Yes. We offer Buy Now Pay 12 Months Later, flexible credit up to 24 months, and longer-term flexible credit up to 10 years. The initial eligibility check is a soft search with no impact on your credit score, and gives an instant decision. Ultimate Home Solutions is authorised by the FCA as a credit broker (not a lender).
Plenty of people do. The Braehead showroom is inside Dobbies Garden Centre at 75 Kings Inch Drive, Renfrew, G51 4FB, open 10am to 5pm seven days, and there is no appointment needed. That said, judging a colour against your own frontage is easier than judging it under showroom lights, which is why the surveyor brings the swatches out.
Get in touch and we will arrange it. All workmanship is guaranteed, the phone is answered every day of the week, and the aftercare team handles adjustments like that as a matter of routine.
A surveyor can call at any Bishopbriggs address on a day of your choosing, and vetted installers follow once the door has been built. The visit is free, and so is the run out to Torrance, Balmore or Bardowie.
