Front Doors in London
The single most valuable retrofit for kerb appeal — and the most-photographed door on any street. Composite, aluminium or painted uPVC, in every classic colour, with matched period ironmongery and side-light or fanlight options to suit the age of the property.
Front Doors designed around front doors that need to look right on a stucco terrace and secure a family home.
From Chelsea townhouses to Hampstead villas and Ruislip family homes, we install across every London borough — inside the M25 and out. Our surveyors know the quirks of Victorian sashes, Edwardian bays and post-war casements.
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.

Common questions from London homeowners.
- Composite, aluminium or uPVC front door — which is best?
- Composite for period homes where you want a painted-timber look with modern security and thermals. Aluminium for contemporary homes and slim sightlines. uPVC where a clean, familiar frame profile suits the elevation. All three carry the same PAS 24 security.
- How secure is a good front door?
- The critical specification is a TS 007 3-star anti-snap cylinder, PAS 24 multi-point locking, laminated inner glazing on any side lights, and a reinforced sash. All four together are what insurers ask for and what a burglar will walk away from.
- Can I match my front door to a Farrow-and-Ball colour?
- Yes — Hague Blue, Downpipe, Card Room Green, Studio Green, Railings and many others are stocked as composite finishes. Any specific RAL or F&B colour can be sprayed to order on aluminium.
- How long does a front door replacement take?
- A single day on site — remove old door, prepare reveal, fit new door and frame, seal, test locks, brief the client. Total lead time from order (including manufacture) is 6–8 weeks.
- Do I need Building Regs approval for a front door replacement?
- No — a like-for-like replacement is covered under our CERTASS registration. We handle the certificate and it lands in your postbox 2–3 weeks after fitting.
