Door style changes the quote

Front doors, back doors, patio sliders, French doors and composite-style replacements each need different hardware, glass and fitting details. A useful quote starts with the door type and the reason for replacement.

Keep repair on the table

Many uPVC door faults are hardware or alignment problems. If a door can be recovered with hinges, handles, locks, barrels, keeps or seals, replacement may not be the best first step.

Questions customers ask

  • Should I repair or replace my uPVC door?

    Repair should be checked first when the fault is a lock, handle, barrel, hinge, seal or alignment issue. Replacement is stronger when the frame, slab, security or finish is beyond sensible repair.

  • What details help with a door quote?

    Send photos of the full door, handle, lock, hinges and threshold, plus your location and whether the door is currently secure.

  • Is a door that will not lock urgent?

    Yes. If the property cannot be secured, call the office rather than waiting on a non-urgent form reply.
