Aluminium entrance doors
Forty-two styles, slimmer and stronger — and it takes far more glass than a composite without looking heavy.
About aluminium entrance doors
Aluminium is stronger than composite or UPVC, so the frame can be narrower while carrying more weight. On an entrance door that means bigger glazed panels and a cleaner, more modern face to the house.

Powder-coated rather than painted, so the finish takes Merseyside weather without fading or needing anything doing to it. Any RAL colour, and a different colour inside to out if you want.
Door styles
Forty-two styles, from traditional Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian designs through to contemporary. Every one is made to your opening and can be finished in any of the colours below, with a different colour inside to out if you want it.
The range
Hold a shortlist against the house at the survey — we bring the samples out.
Door colours
Powder-coated, not painted, so the finish does not fade or need doing again. Classic colours, the Cotswold range, and the Sensations line of textured finishes — or any RAL colour if none of these is right.

Door furniture
Knockers, letterplates and handles in chrome, satin, black, antique bronze and gold — picked at the survey to suit the door and the house.
Common questions
How long does it take to fit a front door?
Normally we take the old door out and fit the new one the same day. We'd confirm that at the survey so there are no surprises.
How long does it take to fit bifold doors?
If the bifolds are replacing French or sliding doors in the same size opening, that's usually a single day. The survey will confirm what's involved and you'll get an accurate timescale from it.
How secure are your doors?
All our doors come with either Yale or Ultion locks, with guarantees against break-in attacks on the property. Many of our products are Secured by Design accredited — the official UK police initiative for designing out crime.
What happens to my old door?
We remove it and take it away, to recycling where possible and disposed of properly where not.
Will I need planning permission?
Not usually, unless the building is listed. If you're in a conservation area or other designated area, check with your local planning authority before ordering.
What guarantees do you offer?
All our windows and doors come with a comprehensive 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, so the cover outlasts the invoice. Roofing and building work carries its own guarantee, and ProPERLA coatings come with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee on top of ours.
Do you really do all of this yourselves?
Yes. Windows, doors, roofing, building work, electrics and coatings are all our own teams. That's the point of the business — one contract and one point of contact, rather than you co-ordinating five firms and absorbing the gaps between them.
How long does a full house of windows take?
It depends on the number and style, but as a rule a whole house of eight to ten windows is fitted in one to two days. We survey first and manufacture every frame to the exact size of the opening, which keeps time on site down.
