Front Doors For The Borders

Composite doors made for Kelso, where the damp sits in the valley.

Ultimate Home Solutions supplies and fits new composite doors across Kelso and the wider TD5 area, from the Georgian frontages around The Square and Bridge Street to the post-war streets at Broomlands, Angraflat and Poynder Park. A surveyor travels out with colour swatches, glass designs and handle samples, measures the opening and leaves a free quote behind with nothing to sign. Each door has a solid core around 44mm thick under a moulded skin, so damp Tweedside mornings will not swell it and it never wants a paintbrush. Trusted installers hang it in a day, and all workmanship is guaranteed.

Why Composite

A timber door that has never once needed painting.

Kelso sits in a river valley and the damp hangs about long after the rain has stopped. Timber takes that in and starts to stick, swell and peel. A composite door is put together to ignore it, and these are the parts that do the work.

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

Security Tested To PAS 24

Multi-point locking with a 3-star anti-snap cylinder as standard. The standard insurers ask for.

PAS 24 tested

Warmer Than Timber

The insulated core stops the hallway draught you get from an old wooden door with a gap under it.

Customers in their own words, nothing tidied up.

“Excellent service and communication.”

Excellent service and communication from Ultimate Home Solutions from start to finish. Requested a visit to discuss the supply and fitting of new front and back UPVC doors to our property. Appointment arranged very quickly and Liam arrived to discuss our options and give us background to the Company. There was no pressure from start to finish. Request to think about it overnight was welcomed and I phoned to proceed...

FAQ

Composite doors in Kelso: what people ask us first.

Travel, price, conservation streets, tall old openings, security, the fitting day, the outlying villages and paying monthly.

Not what you were after?

The person on the other end books door surveys all day long, so you get answers rather than a transfer. Lines are open every day and we aim to reply within the hour.

Call 0800 029 3875
Do you come out as far as Kelso, and is there a charge?

We do, and there is nothing to pay for the trip. A surveyor covers Kelso and the TD5 villages around it, samples and all, with no call-out fee and nothing added for the mileage. The quote that follows is free and puts you under no obligation.

What does a composite door cost around here?

Most of ours land between £950 and £2,200 fitted, with the old door taken out and carted away and the certification included. Where yours sits depends on the colour, the glass, the hardware and whether you want side panels. Various deposit options are available.

Our house is in the conservation area. Does that rule a composite door out?

Not automatically, though it is worth checking. Kelso's town centre conservation area takes in The Square, Bridge Street and Roxburgh Street, and there are listed buildings among them, so Scottish Borders Council may have a view on a door that faces the street. Doors at the back or the side rarely come into it. The surveyor will give you an honest read on it, and the Heritage composite range is drawn for period frontages.

Will a composite door fit a tall old opening?

Yes. Frames and doors are made to the measurements the surveyor takes, not to a standard size off a shelf, which is what makes the older openings around Roxburgh Street and Maxwellheugh straightforward to deal with.

How hard would one be to force?

Hard. Every door is tested to PAS 24, the British standard for forced entry. Behind that sits a solid core rather than a hollow one, a multi-point lock throwing hooks and bolts into the frame, a 3-star Kitemarked anti-snap cylinder and laminated glass in any glazed panel.

Will it swell in the damp off the Tweed?

No. The outer skin is moulded GRP, which does not take water in, so there is no swelling, no sticking on a wet morning and no gap appearing once the heating dries the hall out. Nor does it ever need repainting.

How long are the installers at the house?

Doors are fitted in a day. The old door and frame come out in the morning, the new set goes in, gets sealed and locked, and you are shown how it works before the van leaves. You are never left with an open doorway overnight.

We are out in one of the villages. Do you still come?

Yes. Ednam, Sprouston, Heiton, Stichill, Smailholm, Makerstoun and both Yetholms are all on the round, and so are Jedburgh, Melrose and Coldstream. Farm cottages and converted steadings are regular work for us.

Could we pay for it in instalments?

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).

Which colours and glass are there?

Something past 200 combinations. Heritage shades sit well on Borders stone, and anthracite grey, black, cream, chartwell green and duck egg blue are the ones asked for most. Woodgrain finishes give the timber look, the inside face can be a different colour from the street side, and handles come in chrome, gold, black or antique.

What if something needs seen to later?

All workmanship is guaranteed. Ring the freephone number any day of the week and we will arrange for someone to come back and look at it.
