Specify it
19 colours, and none of them cost extra.
Press one. Every one of these is the manufacturer’s own photograph of that door in that colour. Nothing here is a tint laid over a drawing. Glass, ironmongery and the frame work the same way on the door’s own page.

The range
Three ways of dressing a front.
Forty-five doors, and behind the face they are the same door: a 44mm leaf, a compression moulded GRP skin over an insulated core, tested to PAS24. What changes is how the front of the house is meant to read.
Panelled
15 doorsRaised panels and, usually, glass at the top. This is what sits in the door frames of most houses built before the war and a good many built since, which is exactly why it works.
From £790
Contemporary
12 doorsUnbroken faces and tall narrow glass. Suits a house that has been extended or reordered, and anywhere the door is meant to read as one plane rather than a set of panels.
From £1,000
Period
18 doorsDiamond leading, square lights, half-glazed cottage doors. Drawn from the doors that came before mass production, for houses that still want to look like they predate it.
From £790
Supply & fitting
Take the door on its own, or let us fit it.
Same doors, same door price. What changes is who is responsible on the morning a frame turns out not to be square.
Route one
Supply only
Door, frame, glass and ironmongery, delivered to the house. This is the route if you have a joiner booked, or you fit doors yourself and would rather not pay somebody to do it.
- Door and frame made to the measurements you give us
- Ironmongery supplied with it, not fitted
- Delivered to the property rather than left at the kerb
- You measure, and the risk of a wrong number is yours
Included in the door price
Free delivery on orders over £750
Route two
Fully fitted
We measure the opening, make the door to what we measured, fit it and take the old one away. One visit to survey, one day to fit.
- The opening surveyed before anything is ordered
- Frame packed and scribed until it sits true in the opening
- Locks tested on every point before we leave
- Old door, frame and packaging taken away

Where you stand
You are buying something you cannot touch yet, from people you have not met. These are the things we would want to know.
What you pay for a door
There is no showroom to keep warm and nobody here works on commission, so the price on the page is close to what the door costs to make well. It is the same price whether you fit it or we do.
You see it before you spend
Send a photograph of the front and we put your door into it. Photographs are read once to find the doorway and are not stored, so there is nothing to delete later.
Tested to a standard you can look up
PAS24 and BS6375, a multipoint lock to Secured by Design standard, and a reinforced VEKA frame. Every door in the range, not an upgrade you pay for.
We take the measurement
Somebody comes out and measures the opening before anything is ordered. A composite door is cut to the number it is given, and we would rather that number were ours than yours.
A few of them
Forty-five doors. Here are nine of them.
Guidance
