Back Doors in Hertfordshire
The door that quietly does the work — everyday access to the garden, the utility, the bins and the shed. Ours are as secure, as warm and as well-locked as any front door, in the material and configuration that suits how you actually use the back of the house.
Back Doors designed around family homes across St Albans and Harpenden that want warmth, security and kerb appeal.
St Albans, Harpenden, Watford, Hemel Hempstead and Berkhamsted — we cover Hertfordshire's full palette of Georgian, Edwardian and modern homes with a senior surveyor on the ground every week.
The A1(M) and A41 corridor means Hertfordshire homeowners consistently benefit from acoustic-rated glazing. We spec triple-glazed and laminated options that transform a home's soundscape.

What sets our back doors apart in Hertfordshire.
Half-Glazed by Default
Obscured privacy glass in the upper half lets light into a utility or hallway without exposing a full glazed door to the garden. Fully glazed and solid-panel variants also available.
PAS 24 Multi-Point Locking
Same locking specification as the front door — multi-point hook, 3-star anti-snap cylinder, laminated inner glazing. Back doors are the entry point insurers ask about.
Low-Threshold Option
Standard 45mm weathered cill or Part M compliant 15mm low-threshold aluminium sill for wheelchair, pushchair and step-free access to the garden.
Cat-Flap Ready
We machine cat-flap apertures at manufacture — clean, sealed and weather-tight — rather than the retrofit hole a joiner cuts on-site.
Colour-Fast Finish
Chartwell Green, Painswick, Anthracite, Cream, Rosewood and 15+ more stocked as deep-grain foils or spray-applied RAL finishes.

Common questions from Hertfordshire homeowners.
- Do back doors need the same security as front doors?
- Yes — most insurers require the same PAS 24 multi-point locking and 3-star anti-snap cylinder on every external door. A back door onto a fenced-off garden is not lower risk; it's often higher because it's less overlooked.
- What material for a back door?
- uPVC for hard-wearing everyday use and value. Composite where the back door is on view from the garden and needs to match the front. Aluminium where the door reads through to a contemporary rear elevation. All three carry identical security.
- Can I have a cat-flap?
- Yes — machined into the door at manufacture, so it's clean, sealed, insulated and weather-tight. Petsafe, SureFlap and Cat-Mate are the three brands we fit as standard.
- When should I choose a low threshold?
- A Part M compliant 15mm threshold with drainage channels is ideal for families with young children, wheelchair users, or anyone who regularly moves furniture or garden equipment through the door.
