    Category Overview

    What our doors category covers

    Our doors category covers the three door types that genuinely transform an Essex home: aluminium bi-fold doors that open up a rear extension to the garden, multi-point composite front doors that secure and refresh the kerb of a property, and bespoke replacement entrance doors in aluminium, timber-effect and full timber finishes.

    It's the right place to start if you're extending and want a 4 or 5-pane bi-fold across the back, replacing a 1990s PVC front door that's lost its seal and security rating, or matching a new front and back door package to a recent rendering or driveway refresh. We work with both individual homeowners and small developers who want a finished package — not a part-fit.

    The throughline is the same as our glazing work: doors are long-life products. Specifying the right hardware, the right hinging system and the right threshold on day one is what separates a door that still moves cleanly in fifteen years from one that's binding by year three.

    Why Us

    Why Essex homeowners trust us with their doors

    Door installation is where corner-cutting shows fastest. These are the things we don't compromise on, regardless of the price point.

    Bi-fold specialism

    Our founder spent years installing for one of the UK's largest bi-fold door companies before starting independently. The hinging, threshold and runner detail on a bi-fold is unforgiving — and we've seen every failure mode there is.

    Hardware that lasts

    Multi-point locking, anti-bump cylinders, three-flag hinges. We don't downgrade hardware to hit a price — we'll tell you the price and let you decide.

    Threshold and weather detail

    Low thresholds look elegant but fail without correct drainage and DPC detail. We design the bottom 200mm of every door install properly, not as an afterthought.

    Colour matching

    Powder-coat colour matched to your windows, render or roof — front and back. Mismatched frontages are one of the most common complaints we hear about previous installs.

    PAS24 as standard

    Every external door we fit meets PAS24 security testing. It's the minimum spec for new-build and a sensible minimum for replacements too.

    Aftercare you can call

    Hinges loosen, seals settle, kids slam doors. We come back and adjust — included as part of the warranty, not billed extra.

    Process

    How a doors project runs

    01

    Survey & specify

    Aperture measure, threshold check, hardware spec, colour selection. We confirm what's possible structurally before quoting.

    02

    Written quote

    Itemised by frame, glass, hardware and fitting. Optional extras (integrated blinds, smart locks) flagged separately.

    03

    Manufacture

    Aluminium bi-folds typically 4–6 weeks. Composite front doors usually 3–4 weeks. Manufacture only starts after written sign-off.

    04

    Install & adjust

    Removal, fit, seal, weather-check and adjust. Bi-folds get a full operating cycle test before we leave.

    Coverage

    Areas we cover for doors

    We install doors across all primary Essex towns and the immediate surrounding postcodes. Larger door packages — multi-bi-fold projects, full developer fit-outs, matched front-and-back installs — are also taken on across Greater London, Hertfordshire, Suffolk and Kent.
