What Kensington homeowners tell us.
"The sliding sashes are indistinguishable from the originals — the conservation officer signed off first time. Immaculate site management too."
"Four quotes, one honest conversation. Their surveyor spent two hours explaining trade-offs — no other firm came close on either detail or clarity."
"Nine windows swapped across a Victorian first-floor flat. Zero mess, done in three days, and the acoustic laminate has genuinely changed how we sleep."
Common questions from Kensington homeowners.
- Do you install composite front doors in Kensington?
- Yes — South East Windows & Doors installs composite front doors across Kensington (W8, W11, W14) 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 Kensington?
- Most Kensington 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 Kensington?
- 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 Kensington projects that require them.
- What guarantee covers composite front doors in Kensington?
- Every composite front doors installation in Kensington 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 Kensington?
- Yes — we can share recent composite front doors case studies from across London, including projects in Notting Hill, Holland Park 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.
