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 Montrose, DD10, a town with the tidal basin on one side and miles of open beach on the other, which means wind and salt from whichever direction it fancies. The tall townhouses that turn their gables to the High Street, the terraces at Borrowfield and Broomfield and the cottages down at Ferryden all wear that weather on the front door first. A composite door replaces it with a solid core, around 44mm thick, behind a moulded skin carrying its colour right through, so there is no paint film for salt to get under. A surveyor comes to you with the samples, trusted installers fit the door in a day, and all workmanship is guaranteed.
Montrose gets salt from the beach and damp off the basin, often in the same week. Paint gives up, timber drinks it in and old plastic panels go chalky. Composite is layered so none of that matters, and these are the layers.

Same-day installI was really pleased with the professionalism of the firm who replaced four windows with a triple glazed upgrade. The job was completed in one day. The workmen were very good and the quality was excellent.
I loved the experience. The finished product was far beyond my expectations and the workload was quickly carried out and completed. The workers when they arrived were polite and maintained high quality standards. Further, they ensured the mess they made was cleaned up at the end of each day. Overall, I would highly recommend this service to others as the business is very professional.
Great experience 5* from beginning to end. I had new windows fitted & a new front door really happy with the whole process & fitted within 4 weeks from ordering. Would definitely use again.

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.

Ring and you get a person who arranges door surveys every day, not a recorded list of options. Seven days a week, and messages are usually answered inside the hour.
Call 0800 029 3875We do, and nothing is charged for it. A surveyor covers the town, Ferryden, Hillside and the villages up and down the coast with samples in the car, and there is no call-out fee at any point.
The usual figure is £950 to £2,200 installed, taking in removal of the old door, disposal and certification. Colour, glass, hardware and any side panel decide where inside that yours sits. Various deposit options are available.
None that affects the door. The outer skin is moulded GRP with the colour running through it, so there is no paint to blister and nothing for salt to get beneath, and the hardware chosen for coastal work is finished accordingly. A rinse with warm soapy water now and then keeps it right.
Yes. Those frontages have deep, often tall openings and no two are quite alike, which is why every frame is made from the measurements taken on the survey. Fanlights and side lights can be renewed with the door so the whole entrance matches.
Parts of the old town are, and some buildings are listed, so a street-facing door may be expected to keep its original character. It is worth a word with Angus Council planning before you order. The surveyor will be honest about whether a composite door is likely to be accepted, and the Heritage designs exist for period frontages.
It should not. Seals run the whole way round the frame and the multi-point lock pulls the door onto them at several points, which is what stops wind-driven rain finding a gap. The threshold is specified to match how exposed the doorway is.
Each one is tested to PAS 24, the standard for resisting forced entry. Solid core rather than hollow, multi-point hooks and bolts, a 3-star Kitemarked anti-snap cylinder and laminated glass in every glazed panel.
The range stretches to over 200 colour and glass pairings. Cream, anthracite grey, black, chartwell green and duck egg blue are the regulars, woodgrain finishes give a timber look without the work, and the inside can differ from the outside. Knockers, handles and letterplates come in chrome, gold, matt black or antique.
For one working day. The old door and frame come out, the new frame goes in and is sealed, the door is hung, the glass and hardware are fitted, then the locking is explained. The old door leaves with the installers.
