Composite Doors
in Edinburgh,
chosen on your own doorstep.

We do, and travel costs you nothing. The home survey is free wherever you are in the city, from Cramond and Trinity to Gilmerton and Balerno. There is no call-out fee, and the quote that follows carries no obligation.

Most of our composite front doors come to between £950 and £2,200 fitted, with removal of the old door, disposal and certification included. The colour, the glass design, the hardware finish and any side panels decide where in that range yours falls. The survey is free and the clear quote afterwards commits you to nothing. Various deposit options are available.

It depends on the street and the building. Large parts of Edinburgh, including the New Town, the Old Town, Stockbridge and Marchmont, are conservation areas, and many buildings are listed. On a listed building, or a street-facing door in a conservation area, the council may expect the original style and sometimes the original material to be kept, so check with City of Edinburgh Council planning before you order. The surveyor will tell you honestly if a composite door is unlikely to be accepted, and the Heritage composite range is there for period frontages where it is.

Yes. Main-door tenement flats in Leith, Gorgie and Dalry, and the colony houses in Stockbridge and Abbeyhill, have a front door of their own opening onto the street or an outside stair, and both are straightforward to fit. Older openings are seldom a standard size, so the door is made from the surveyor's measurements. Where a factor or the other owners have a say over the look of the entrance, settle that first and we will supply the door details they ask for.

Each one is tested to PAS 24, the British standard for resisting a forced entry. The core is solid, which makes it far harder to break through than a hollow panel, the lock is a multi-point hook-and-bolt system with a 3-star Kitemarked cylinder, and any glass is laminated security glazing.

Yes. The GRP skin does not take in water, so the door will not swell, stick or warp the way a timber one does after a wet winter, and the colour will not fade or need repainting. The insulated core is six times more insulating than timber, which you notice in a hallway that faces an east wind.

More than 200 colours, among them anthracite grey, chartwell green, duck egg blue, cream and black, with a different colour on the inside if you want one. There are dozens of glass designs, and the hardware comes in chrome, gold, black or antique finishes. The surveyor brings samples so you can see them against your own frontage.

One working day for most doors. The installers take out the old door and frame, fit the new frame and door, add the glass and hardware, seal it and show you the locks. Your home is secure again before they leave.

Tell us at the survey and we plan for it. A door fit needs one van for one day, and in a controlled parking zone we sort out a visitor or trade permit ahead of time, so you have nothing to organise on the day.

Yes. We offer Buy Now Pay 12 Months Later, flexible credit up to 24 months, and longer-term flexible credit up to 10 years.
