Colour, glazing and hardware. Every detail considered.
Details worth a closer look
Make an entrance.
An entrance that belongs
Designed around your home.
And the way you live.
A replacement front door changes more than the view from the street. The right design can make a hallway lighter, improve everyday access and address the draughts, worn locks or awkward threshold that have been bothering you.
If the front door is the main daily entrance, consider shopping bags, school runs, deliveries and visitors. Glazing, locking and the height of the threshold should support that routine as well as looking right.
Choose around the whole family’s routine

Good looks are just the beginning
Feel the difference.
Every time you come home.
Security and comfort depend on the complete doorset and how it is installed. We’ll talk through the features of your chosen system, rather than treating every door as the same.
Locking & cylinders
Compare the lock, cylinder, hinges and any tested security rating for the exact configuration.
Warmth & sealing
Look at whole-doorset performance, perimeter seals and a properly fitted frame.
Light & privacy
Balance glazing area with obscure glass and the position of your hallway.
Daily access
Consider the threshold, clear opening, handle position and how you use the entrance.
A local approach
Choosing a front door in Gillingham
We cover Gillingham and nearby areas including Motcombe, Milton on Stour, Bourton, East Stour, Buckhorn Weston.
Gillingham is a growing town, with both heritage cottages and modern housing estates.
In contrast, new-builds around Gillingham Business Park and Shaftesbury Road are often suited to contemporary aluminium or composite doors with bold colour choices.
For a listed property or an address in a conservation area, check the proposed changes with the relevant council before ordering. Requirements depend on the individual property.

How much does a bespoke front door cost?
Material, size, glazing, hardware, side panels and the installation work all affect the price. Share a photo and an outline of what you want; we’ll help you narrow the specification and provide a tailored quote.
Is composite or aluminium better for my home?
Neither is automatically the best choice. Composite offers a broad mix of traditional and modern styles; aluminium suits crisp architectural designs. Compare the actual appearance, security specification, whole-doorset thermal performance and guarantee.
Can I keep my existing sidelights?
Sometimes, but the condition and compatibility of the existing frame and glazing need checking. Replacing the whole entrance may provide a more consistent appearance and a clearer performance specification.
Can you fit a lower threshold?
We can discuss threshold options for the selected system. The finished floor levels, weather exposure, drainage and required clear opening all need to be considered before choosing the detail.
What if my house is listed or in a conservation area?
Raise this at the first conversation and check with the council responsible for your address before ordering. We can help you identify the proposed appearance and product details to discuss.
How long will my new front door take?
Manufacturing and fitting times depend on the range and specification. We’ll confirm the current lead time and installation arrangements in your quotation rather than promise a standard turnaround for every door.
What guarantees are included?
The product guarantee and workmanship cover are separate. We’ll confirm the terms for your chosen system and installation, including any maintenance requirements and relevant certification.
Do you offer supply only?
Yes. If your own fitter is installing, final measurements and installation responsibilities need to be agreed before manufacture. We can also quote for professional installation.
Can you help with my Gillingham project?
Yes. Send your postcode, photographs of the opening and a note of whether you need supply only or installation. We’ll confirm the arrangements for your address and the survey requirements before an order. Our business base is in Sparkford; this page covers our service in Gillingham.
