Composite & uPVC Doors in Burnley

Ask for a door built to PAS 24 with a TS007 3-star cylinder — that is the standard that actually resists snapping and bumping. It is what we fit as default.

The GRP skin is colour-through and UV-stable. South-facing doors hold their colour for years; we still guarantee the finish.

Yes — frames, handles and glazing designs can be matched across doors and windows so the frontage looks deliberate.

A solid core — usually timber or high-density foam — wrapped in a glass-reinforced plastic skin, with an insulated sub-frame. That combination gives you the solidity of timber, the insulation of foam and a surface that does not need painting.

Generally yes, because the slab itself is solid rather than a hollow panel. But the door leaf is only half the story — the cylinder, the multi-point lock and the frame fixings matter just as much. A good composite door with a poor cylinder is not secure.

TS007 3-star cylinders resist snapping, bumping, drilling and picking. Lock snapping is the single most common forced entry method on uPVC and composite doors in the UK, so yes — you want one. We fit them as standard rather than selling them as an upgrade.

It is the enhanced security standard doors and windows are tested against — resistance to a defined set of physical attacks. If a door is described as PAS 24 compliant, it has been through that testing as a complete assembly, frame included.

No. That is the main advantage over timber. It does not absorb moisture, so it will not stick in wet weather or shrink and let draughts through in a dry spell.

Never. Wash it down with warm soapy water a couple of times a year and lubricate the hinges and locking mechanism annually. That is the whole maintenance routine.

The GRP skin is UV-stable and colour-through, so it holds up well even on a south-facing frontage. Very dark colours are the most demanding, and we still guarantee the finish.

Yes — a wide range of designs from a small vision panel up to full-height glazing, with obscured, decorative and leaded options. Anything at low level is toughened or laminated safety glass as required by Building Regulations.

Yes. Side panels and top lights can be made to match the door in colour and glazing design, which is the usual solution where the original opening is wider or taller than a standard door.

All chosen by you at survey — chrome, satin, black, gold and antique finishes, with matching letterplates, knockers, numerals, spyholes and restrictors. It is a made-to-order door, not something off the back of a van.

A straightforward front door replacement is typically a half day. Your house is not left open — the old door comes out and the new one goes in the same visit.

Yes, when specified properly. French doors get multi-point locking on both leaves with shootbolts top and bottom; patio and bi-fold doors get anti-lift blocks and multi-point locking. Big glass does not have to mean weak security.

Bi-folds open the whole aperture, which is dramatic, but the stacked panels take up reveal space and there are more moving parts. Sliders give you bigger uninterrupted panes of glass and a slimmer look but only ever open half the aperture. It comes down to how you use the room.

Yes — everything is made to measure. Older properties frequently have openings that are neither square nor a standard size, which is precisely why we survey rather than working from a catalogue.

Yes. Chain restrictors, letterbox cowls and anti-fishing plates are all available, and worth considering on a front door with a letterplate near the handle.

The manufacturer warranty on the door slab and hardware, plus our workmanship guarantee, backed by the insurance-backed guarantee. All issued in writing after installation.
