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 front doors in Kensington?
- Yes — South East Windows & Doors installs 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 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 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 front doors in Kensington?
- Every 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 front doors work near Kensington?
- Yes — we can share recent 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.
- 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.
