Replacement Composite Doors in Scholes

Count the faults. A single issue on a structurally sound modern door is usually repairable. Draughts plus sticking plus a tired lock on an older door means the whole assembly has worn together, and repairs become a subscription. Our free survey in Scholes gives you a straight answer either way.

Often, yes. Older single-point locks and standard euro cylinders are exactly what modern burglary methods are built to beat. New composite doors come with multi-point locking and anti-snap cylinders as standard, which moves your front door from the easy list to the hard list.

Sometimes, if the door and frame are otherwise sound, hinges can be adjusted or replaced. But a drop is often a symptom of a frame that has moved or fixings that have failed, and on an ageing door it tends to return. We will tell you which it is before you spend anything.

Brush strips and threshold seals exist, and on a decent door they help. On a worn door they treat one symptom of a general decline, and the draughts usually find another way in. If the door is also cold and insecure, the money is better going towards a replacement that fixes everything at once.

If your current door is draughty or sticking, yes, winter is exactly when you will pay for it in comfort and heating. Remember there is a manufacturing lead time of a few weeks on made-to-measure doors, so the best time to start is before the cold arrives, not during it.

Mist between the panes means the sealed glazing unit has failed and moisture has got inside. It cannot be polished away and the unit will not heal. In a new composite door the glazing is a modern sealed unit, and any future failure would be a guarantee matter, not your problem.

It depends on the style, glass and hardware you choose. We survey your opening free of charge and quote one fixed written price for the full job including the frame, fitting and taking the old door away. There is no deposit, payment is on completion.

Yes. Scholes is right on our regular route through central and east Wigan, alongside Rose Bridge, Ince-in-Makerfield and Swinley. From our Atherton base a survey visit is easy to slot in, usually within days.

One day, one team, one doorway. The old door and frame come out, the new set goes in, and the opening is sealed and finished inside and out before the fitters leave. Dust sheets down, mess taken away, and your home is never left unsecured.

Ten years, covering the door and our installation, in writing. Given the door you are replacing probably lasted decades, you can treat a guaranteed composite replacement as the long-term fix it is, not another patch.
