Built for the Weather We Actually Get
The GRP skin on a composite door is the same family of material used on boat hulls, and it treats driving rain the same way. Underneath sits a stable solid core that does not absorb moisture, so the door cannot swell shut in a wet November or shrink and rattle in a dry spell.
Compare that with timber, which moves with every season, or older uPVC facings that chalk and discolour after years of sun, and the case for composite in a climate like ours more or less makes itself.
The Entire Maintenance Routine
Here it is, in full:
- Wipe the door down with warm soapy water a few times a year
- A drop of light oil on hinges and the lock once a year
- That is it - no painting, no varnishing, no sanding, ever
How Long Will It Stay Looking Good?
The colour is part of the door's skin rather than a coat on top of it, so there is nothing to peel or flake. A well-made composite door should give you 30 years or more of service, and ours carry a 10-year guarantee on top, from a firm with 25+ years of trading in the area, so the promise means something.
Longshoot is one of the smaller pockets of Wigan we cover, and being based in Atherton we are close enough that a survey, or a service visit years down the line, is never a big production.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do composite doors warp or swell like wooden doors?
No. The solid core is moisture-stable and the GRP skin is completely weatherproof, so the door keeps its shape through wet winters and warm summers alike. The sticking-door problem that plagues timber simply does not apply.
Will I ever need to paint a composite door?
No, never. The colour runs through the door's outer skin rather than sitting on top as paint, so there is nothing to peel, flake or repaint. That is one of the biggest practical differences from a timber door.
How do I clean a composite door?
Warm soapy water and a soft cloth a few times a year is all it takes, avoid abrasive pads and harsh solvents. Ten minutes, and the door looks new again.
How long does a composite door last?
A quality composite door should serve well beyond 30 years with the basic care above. Ours are backed by a 10-year guarantee, and after 25+ years in business we are still around to honour the guarantees we gave years ago.
Will the colour fade in the sun?
Modern composite skins are highly fade-resistant, far more so than painted finishes. Any door facing full sun for decades will mellow slightly, but you will not get the blotchy discolouration older uPVC doors were known for.
Are dark colours a problem on a south-facing door?
Dark doors absorb more heat in direct sun, and very cheap slabs have been known to distort because of it. The doors we supply are built with stable cores designed for dark modern colours, and we will advise honestly at the survey if your aspect makes one option smarter than another.
Do the seals and hinges need any upkeep?
A once-a-year drop of light oil on hinges and lock keeps everything sweet, and the gaskets just need to stay clean. If the door ever needs a seasonal adjustment, that is a quick visit from us rather than a job for you.
Do you fit composite doors in Longshoot?
Yes. Longshoot is well within our patch, we are based in Atherton and cover the whole Wigan area. Call 07900 985699 and we will arrange a free survey and written quote.
What does a composite door cost in Longshoot?
Most supply-and-fit composite doors come in somewhere in the low four figures, depending on style, glazing and colour. The quote is free, written and exact, so you will know the real figure before deciding.
How long does fitting take?
A single day, start to finish. Your old door comes off and the new composite door and frame go in the same visit, sealed, adjusted and tidied before we leave.
Do you ask for money up front?
No, we take no deposits at all. You pay once the door is fitted and you are happy, an approach backed up by over 750 5-star reviews.
