Composite and uPVC door installation in Edinburgh
A new front door changes the look of a Edinburgh house more than almost any other single job. The New Town’s Georgian terraces and the Old Town’s tall tenements make up one of the most architecturally protected city centres in Britain, and a lot of the original doors on that stock are well past the point where draught-proofing alone will fix them. Conservation controls here are some of the strictest in the UK - many properties are listed, and window styles are often tightly specified by the council, and front doors are usually one of the more flexible elements even where wider window restrictions apply.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between composite and uPVC doors? Composite doors have a solid timber-effect core that’s more resistant to warping and generally more secure, while uPVC doors cost less but can flex slightly more over time. Most Edinburgh homeowners upgrading a front door go composite; uPVC is more common for less visible back or side doors.
How secure are modern replacement doors? Multi-point locking systems, reinforced frames and toughened glass panels are all standard on the doors we fit, which is a significant step up from older single-lock doors still found on older properties in Edinburgh.
Can I get a matching front and back door in Edinburgh? Yes - most ranges let you match colour and hardware finish across front, back and side doors so they look consistent from both inside and outside the property.
