Composite and uPVC door installation in Reading
A new front door changes the look of a Reading house more than almost any other single job. The town centre and Redlands have some conservation coverage, though much of Reading’s housing sits outside formal restrictions, and front doors are usually one of the more flexible elements even where wider window restrictions apply. A lot of Reading’s housing is Victorian terraced stock in the centre, ringed by extensive post-war and modern commuter-belt development, and a lot of the original doors on that stock are well past the point where draught-proofing alone will fix them.

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 Reading 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 a lot of older housing in Reading.
Can I get a matching front and back door in Reading? 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.
