Choosing the Right Composite Door in New Springs

Mainstream quality composite doors are around 44mm thick, with some premium ranges thicker still. More important than the number is what fills it, a dense insulated core rather than a light infill. We are happy to talk through the exact construction of the doors we quote for.

GRP is glass reinforced plastic, the tough outer skin on a quality composite door. It carries the colour and woodgrain, resists dents and scratches, and never needs painting. It is the same family of material used for boat hulls, which says something about how it handles weather.

You can find cheap slabs online, but you are usually getting a thinner door, basic hardware and no fitting, and the fitting is where most door problems are born. By the time a cheap door is fitted properly with decent locks, the saving has mostly gone. We would rather quote you once for the whole job done right.

For most homes, yes. It insulates and secures better than a standard uPVC panel door, and unlike timber it will not swell, warp or need repainting. Timber suits some period properties, but for everyday front doors composite has become the sensible default, and it is the product we specialise in.

It depends on style, glass and hardware, so treat any price given without a survey with suspicion. We visit, measure and give you a fixed written figure with nothing to pay up front. No deposit means you are never funding someone else's cash flow.

We supply and fit. The measurement, the frame work and the installation decide how the door performs for the next twenty years, so we do not hand that part to chance. It also means one firm, and one 10-year guarantee, covers the whole job.

Doors are made to measure, so expect a few weeks between ordering and installation depending on the specification and colour. We give you a realistic timescale when you order and book the fitting date in advance. The fit itself takes a day.

Yes, New Springs is firmly on our patch, along with Top Lock, Higher Ince and the rest of the canal side of Wigan. Being based in Atherton, we can usually get a surveyor to you within days.

Ten years on the door and our installation. If a manufacturing fault appears or something we fitted needs attention, we put it right. With 750+ 5-star reviews on the books, that promise has been tested and kept many times over.

Because you should not have to hand money to a firm you have just met. We carry the cost of your door until it is fitted, which keeps the pressure on us to do the job properly and promptly. You pay once, at the end, when you can see what you paid for.
