Back Doors in Highgate, London
We install back doors across Highgate (N6) week in, week out — matched sightlines, planning-ready detailing and finish standards suited to London homes from Highgate Village through Highgate West Hill.
Back Doors designed around front doors that need to look right on a stucco terrace and secure a family home.
Highgate Village's Georgian core, the Heath-facing streets along Merton Lane and Fitzroy Park, and the substantial Victorian villas across N6 need matched sightlines and painted finishes. We install throughout with drawings prepared for Camden and Haringey planners.

What sets our back doors apart in Highgate.
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.
What Highgate homeowners tell us.
"A 6.4m aluminium bifold set across the rear of our garden flat. Slim sightlines, perfect thresholds, and the team left the house cleaner than they found it."
"Sprayed a bespoke Farrow & Ball green on our composite front door. The finish is glass-smooth and the security spec exceeds our insurer's PAS 24 requirements."
"They liaised directly with our managing agent and the freeholder — a huge relief. The block now has matched sightlines and a proper 10-year guarantee."
Common questions from Highgate homeowners.
- Do you install back doors in Highgate?
- Yes — South East Windows & Doors installs back doors across Highgate (N6) and the wider London area every week. Every project is surveyed, manufactured and installed by our own teams.
- How long does back doors installation take in Highgate?
- Most Highgate projects run to a two-to-eight week lead time from signed quote to install, depending on manufacture. Once on site, a typical back doors install completes in one to five working days with full dust-sheet protection and clean-down.
- Do you handle conservation-area planning in Highgate?
- Working across London means understanding period detail, party-wall etiquette and permit parking as well as we understand glass. We schedule dust sheets, protection and clean-down like a good building firm should. We prepare planning-ready drawings with matched sightlines, glazing-bar depths and hardware for Highgate projects that require them.
- What guarantee covers back doors in Highgate?
- Every back doors installation in Highgate is covered by our insurance-backed 10-year guarantee — parts, labour and finish. Aftercare is direct with the installing team, not a call centre.
- Can I see recent back doors work near Highgate?
- Yes — we can share recent back doors case studies from across London, including projects in Highgate Village, Highgate West Hill and neighbouring towns. Ask your surveyor at the on-site visit.
- 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.
