Composite Front Doors designed around front doors that need to look right on a stucco terrace and secure a family home.

Common questions from Islington homeowners.
- Do you install composite front doors in Islington?
- Yes — South East Windows & Doors installs composite front doors across Islington (N1, N5, N7) and the wider London area every week. Every project is surveyed, manufactured and installed by our own teams.
- How long does composite front doors installation take in Islington?
- Most Islington projects run to a two-to-eight week lead time from signed quote to install, depending on manufacture. Once on site, a typical composite front doors install completes in one to five working days with full dust-sheet protection and clean-down.
- Do you handle conservation-area planning in Islington?
- 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 Islington projects that require them.
- What guarantee covers composite front doors in Islington?
- Every composite front doors installation in Islington 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 composite front doors work near Islington?
- Yes — we can share recent composite front doors case studies from across London, including projects in Barnsbury, Canonbury and neighbouring towns. Ask your surveyor at the on-site visit.
- How do composite doors compare to timber?
- The look is nearly identical from three paces; the finish lasts far longer. A painted timber door needs stripping and repainting every 3–5 years. Our composite finish is guaranteed colour-fast for 15.
- Are composite doors warmer than uPVC?
- Marginally — 1.2 W/m²K vs 1.4 W/m²K on standard glazing. The bigger difference is the 44mm solid core, which cuts noise transmission and gives the door a reassuring weight when it closes.
- Can I match a heritage colour?
- Yes. Chartwell Green, Painswick, Farrow-and-Ball Hague Blue and Downpipe are among the most-requested. Any RAL is available to order for around 10% more.
