New door installation in Durham
Whether it’s a tired front door or a leaking patio door, Durham homeowners usually end up choosing between composite, uPVC and bifold. It’s a university city as much as a historic one, and the mix of ancient streets and student housing makes for varied glazing requirements across the city. Get the exact door dimensions confirmed before ordering, especially on older openings that may be slightly out of square.
Why locals choose us
- Durham’s medieval core, wrapped by a loop of the River Wear beneath the cathedral and castle, is one of the most tightly conservation-protected city centres in the country.
- Older, slightly out-of-square openings measured properly rather than assuming a standard size will fit.
- Composite, uPVC and bifold options, so the choice comes down to what suits the opening, not what’s easiest to sell.
- Multi-point locking as standard on new doors, which matters more for security than the finish does.

Frequently asked questions
Composite or uPVC - which is better for a front door in Durham? Composite doors cost more but hold their shape and colour better over time and generally feel more solid. uPVC is the cheaper option and still performs well if budget is the main concern.
How secure are modern replacement doors? Most new composite and uPVC doors come with multi-point locking as standard, which is a meaningful security upgrade over an older single-point lock, whatever finish you choose.
Can bifold doors be fitted to an existing opening in Durham? Usually, yes, though older medieval and Georgian properties sometimes need the opening adjusted slightly since original openings weren’t built to modern bifold door widths.
