What is in the price
A fitted composite door price should contain the slab, the frame, the cylinder, the fitting labour, the removal and disposal of the old door, the sealing and making good, and the guarantee paperwork. If any of those sit outside the number, it is not a fitted price.
Our specification is a 70mm solid core, a PAS 24 tested frame, a TS007 3 star anti snap cylinder and laminated glass in any glazed panel. Those are included rather than offered as upgrades, which is why our starting figure sits where it does.
- 70mm solid core slab with a GRP skin
- Reinforced, PAS 24 tested frame replaced with the door
- TS007 3 star anti snap cylinder
- Laminated glass in any glazed panel
- Removal, disposal, sealing and making good
- 10 year insurance-backed guarantee, transferable
What pushes a composite door above the starting price
Size and configuration first. A door with a side panel, a top light or an oversized opening is a bigger frame and more glass, and it costs accordingly. Glass design is second, because a decorative or leaded panel is a made item in its own right.
Then furniture and colour. A dual colour door, a heritage shade or a full suite of matching ironmongery all add. None of them change how the door performs, which is worth remembering when comparing two quotes with different specifications.
| Choice | Effect on price |
|---|---|
| Standard slab, single opening | Baseline from £1,099 |
| Selected designs on current offer | Fixed at £1,099 fitted |
| Side panel added | Significant, it is a wider frame |
| Decorative or leaded glass | Moderate, priced per panel |
| Dual colour, different inside and out | Small to moderate |
| Structural widening of the opening | Quoted separately after survey |
What a very cheap composite door leaves out
Usually the core, the frame or the cylinder, and often two of the three. A 44mm skinned slab with a foam filling is a different product to a 70mm solid core, and it behaves differently in weather and under attack.
The other common omission is the frame itself. A slab fitted into the existing frame keeps the old keeps and hinge fixings, so no part of the security specification is actually certified on your house.
