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 Greenock and the PA15 and PA16 postcodes, in a corner of Scotland that gets more rain in a year than almost anywhere else in the country. The town climbs steeply from the waterfront, so a door at Cartsdyke sits sheltered while one at Braeside or Whinhill faces straight into whatever comes up the Firth. Add the salt in the air at Gourock and Ashton and you have the two things that finish off a painted timber door. A composite door has no paint film to lift and no bare timber to soak: a solid core, around 44mm thick, under a moulded skin, with the colour running through it. Trusted installers fit it in a day and all workmanship is guaranteed.
Greenock is one of the wettest towns in Britain, and the wind that brings the rain comes off open water. A painted door gets perhaps two winters before the bottom rail starts to go. A composite door is assembled so the water has nowhere to get in. These are the parts that do the work.

Somebody measures at your own doorstep for nothing, the quote leaves you free to say no, and trusted installers have the new door in and locked the same day. Fort Matilda, Larkfield or along at Boglestone, it works the same way.

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.

You will get a person who books door surveys all day rather than a call handler reading prompts. Lines are open every day and most messages are answered inside the hour.
Call 0800 029 3875The usual range is £950 to £2,200 fitted, taking in the removal of the old door, disposal and the certification. Colour, glass, hardware and side panels decide where in that band yours falls. Measuring costs nothing, the quote carries no obligation, and various deposit options are available.
Better than anything timber. The outer skin is moulded and absorbs no water at all, so there is nothing to swell, blister or rot. The frame carries weather seals and the multi-point lock draws the door onto them along its full height, which is the part that keeps driven rain from working its way past.
Very little. The colour is moulded through the skin rather than painted on top, so salt has no paint film to attack, and coastal hardware finishes are specified where the exposure calls for it. Warm soapy water two or three times a year keeps it looking as it did on day one.
Not for a composite door. On the higher streets at Braeside, Whinhill and Branchton a front door takes the wind head on, so the surveyor notes the exposure and specifies the threshold and seals to suit it. The door itself is heavy enough not to flex in a gust the way a light hollow panel can.
Yes. The villas and terraces in Greenock's West End have deep, tall openings, often with a fanlight over the top and glazed panels at the sides, and no two are quite alike. Every frame is made to the surveyor's measurements, and the Heritage composite designs are there for frontages of that age.
Meaningfully stronger. The whole door is tested to PAS 24, the core is solid instead of hollow, the lock throws hooks and bolts into the frame at several points, the cylinder is 3-star Kitemarked and anti-snap, and glass is laminated wherever it appears.
Over 200 combinations. Greys, blacks and creams are the safe bets on a render frontage, heritage greens and blues suit sandstone, and the woodgrain finishes look like a stained timber door without behaving like one. Different colours inside and out are no trouble, and hardware comes in chrome, gold, matt black or antique.
Very little beyond clearing the hall. The installers take out the old door and frame, set and seal the new frame, hang the door, fit the glazing and the hardware, then show you how the locking works before they go. It is one working day and the old door leaves with them.
Yes. Everything in PA15 and PA16 is on the patch, along with Port Glasgow, Boglestone, Bardrainney, Inverkip, Wemyss Bay, Kilmacolm and Langbank. Nothing is added for the travel to any of them.
