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 Dunfermline, KY11 and KY12, a city where the housing stock is about as mixed as it gets in Fife. There are grey sandstone terraces in the streets around the Abbey and Pittencrieff Park, post-war semis at Abbeyview, Touch and Bellyeoman, and thousands of newer houses out at Duloch, Masterton and Pitcorthie. All of them face the same westerly weather coming over the Forth. A composite door meets it with a solid core, around 44mm thick, behind a moulded skin with the colour running through it, so there is nothing to strip back and repaint. A surveyor travels to you with the samples, trusted installers fit the door in a day, and all workmanship is guaranteed.
Wind comes up off the Forth and over Dunfermline all winter, and a painted door on that side of a house rarely holds its finish for long. Composite is assembled so the weather has nothing to get hold of. These are the parts involved.

Fulfilled the timescales. Excellent workmanship. Competitive prices. Excellent customer service.
Having recently had our bathroom fitted by UHS, we were blown away by the quality and service so it was an easy decision to have UHS replace two of our windows. From the initial consultation through to booking the installation and the installation itself, it was a smooth process and everyone was super friendly and helpful. The fitters were efficient and were done in no time, taking time to clean up and make sure we...

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.

Most come to between £950 and £2,200 fitted, with the old door removed, taken away and the work certified. Where yours sits depends on the colour, the glass, the hardware finish and whether there are side panels. Various deposit options are available.
There can be. The older streets around the Abbey, Maygate and Pittencrieff Park sit inside a conservation area and a number of the buildings are listed, so a street-facing door may be expected to keep its original look. Check with Fife Council planning before you order. The surveyor will say plainly if a composite door is unlikely to be accepted, and the Heritage designs are there for period frontages where it is.
Yes. Tall openings, fanlights and narrow side panels are all normal in the older parts of town, and every frame is made to the figures taken on the survey. Fanlights and side panels can be renewed at the same time so the whole entrance matches.
Easily. Openings on the newer estates are square and modern, which makes the changeover quick, and a composite door is a noticeable step up from the panel most new houses are given. If your street is still factored, check whether anything is specified about the frontage first.
Every door is tested to PAS 24, the British standard for resisting forced entry. The core is solid instead of hollow, the lock puts hooks and bolts into the frame at several points, the cylinder is 3-star Kitemarked and anti-snap, and glazing is laminated.
No. The skin is moulded GRP, so it takes in no water and cannot swell, stick or warp, and the colour goes through it rather than sitting on top, so it will not need repainting. The insulated core is six times more insulating than timber.
The choice runs past 200 colour and glass pairings. Anthracite grey, black, cream, chartwell green and duck egg blue are ordered most, woodgrain finishes suit older frontages, and the inside face can differ from the outside. Hardware finishes include chrome, gold, matt black and antique.
A day. The old door and frame come out, the new frame is set and sealed, the door is hung, the glass and hardware are fitted and the locking is explained before they leave. The old door goes with them.
