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 designs, supplies and fits new composite doors across Blantyre, G72, a town that runs from the old Victorian terraces near the David Livingstone Birthplace at Low Blantyre up to the modern estates spreading out beyond Hunthill and Priestfield. The older houses tend to have deep, tall openings and a timber door that has been painted over for decades. The newer ones usually have a builder's panel that was never the best part of the house. Either way a composite door is a straight upgrade: a solid core, around 44mm thick, under a moulded skin, so it closes with a thud instead of a rattle. The measure is free, trusted installers fit the door in a day, and all workmanship is guaranteed.
Blantyre has a lot of doors that predate double glazing and plenty more that came free with a new house. Neither ages well. A composite door is put together so that damp, frost and slamming make no difference, and here is the make-up of it.

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 will get through to someone who books door surveys for a living, seven days a week, and most messages are answered well inside an hour.
Call 0800 029 3875Expect somewhere between £950 and £2,200 fitted. That already includes removing the old door, taking it away and the certification, and the colour, glass, hardware and any side panel decide where yours falls. Measuring is free throughout G72 and the quote afterwards is free and ties you to nothing. Various deposit options are available.
It will. Openings in the Victorian rows are usually taller and narrower than a modern one, and often have a fanlight over the door, so nothing standard would fit anyway. Every frame is made to the figures taken on the survey, and the Heritage composite designs are worth asking about if you want the look of the original.
Yes, and it is one of the quickest jobs we do. Modern openings out at Hunthill, Priestfield and the newer streets off Glasgow Road are square and well sized, so the changeover is straightforward. If the development is still factored, check whether the frontage has any conditions attached before ordering.
That is usually exactly what it fixes. A new frame is fitted along with the door, so the seal is made all the way round rather than packed out, and the multi-point lock draws the door onto weather seals at several points. The insulated core does the rest.
A great deal harder. The whole door is tested to PAS 24, the core is solid instead of hollow, the lock puts hooks and bolts into the frame, and the cylinder is 3-star Kitemarked and anti-snap. Glazed panels are laminated security glass.
More than 200 combinations of colour and glass. Anthracite grey, black, cream, chartwell green and duck egg blue are the usual favourites, woodgrain finishes suit older frontages, and the inside face can be finished in a different shade. Handles, letterplates and knockers come in chrome, gold, matt black or antique.
One working day for a front door. The old door and frame are lifted out, the new frame is fitted and sealed, the door is hung, the glass and hardware go on, and you are shown the locking. Nothing is left open when they leave.
No. The surveyor brings the colour, glass and hardware samples to your house, so the whole thing can be decided at your kitchen table. If you would rather see doors in the flesh, the Braehead showroom inside Dobbies Garden Centre at 75 Kings Inch Drive, Renfrew, G51 4FB is open 10am to 5pm daily.
