External Door Fitters in Aldershot

We fit external doors for homeowners and landlords across Aldershot. From a front door that has seen better days to a back door that no longer closes cleanly, we check the frame, measure accurately and fit the door so it works and holds up long term.

External Doors We Fit in Aldershot

We fit composite front doors, timber doors, half-glazed back doors, stable doors and French doors across Aldershot. The area has a high concentration of ex-military and council-built housing where openings tend to be uniform, but the frames on older stock are often tired. We work with whatever is there and advise honestly on what will suit the property.

Front Doors

Strong, secure and the first thing anyone sees. We fit front doors on all property types, from straightforward replacements to non-standard openings where the frame needs attention first.

Timber Front Doors

A natural choice for period properties and homes where composite does not suit the look. We fit solid timber front doors and advise on sizes whether stock or made to measure.

Composite / uPVC Doors

Low maintenance, weather resistant and available in a wide range of styles. The most common choice for front door replacements across the areas we cover.

French Doors

Two-door sets that open outward and work well at the back of a property where you want more light and access to the garden. We fit and align both leaves so they close and lock cleanly.

Patio Doors

liding or hinged rear doors that open up a room without needing swing space. We check the frame and threshold carefully on these as the weight and movement puts more demand on the fitting.

Other External Doors

Not seeing your door type here? We fit stable doors, side access doors, bi-fold doors and more. If you are not sure what you need, tell us what you have and we will advise.

How We Fit External Doors in Aldershot

We check the frame before anything is measured or ordered. Aldershot has a lot of identical housing stock built to the same spec, but decades of weather exposure means the frames vary more than they look. We confirm the rebate is sound, check the threshold and measure the opening accurately. The door is hung level, the gaps are evened out, the weatherstrip is set and the locks and hardware are fitted and tested before we leave.

Trusted External Door Fitters in Aldershot

Aldershot has more uniform housing than most areas we cover, but uniform does not mean problem-free. A lot of the properties we visit have frames that look solid until you get close and find the bottom corners have softened or the rebate has worn down enough to affect the fit. We check this before committing to a door size because getting it wrong at that stage costs everyone time. External doors are heavy and the hinge positions have to carry that weight over years of use. We set them correctly from the start. We show up when agreed, keep the work area tidy and do not walk away until the door is hanging right and the lock is operating cleanly.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Getting Started

The frame on my Aldershot property looks fine but the current door has always let in a draught. What causes that?
Usually the weatherstrip has failed or the door was never sitting flush against it on all sides. Sometimes the door warped slightly after fitting and created a gap. When we visit we check where the draught is coming from before recommending anything. In some cases the frame is fine and the fix is straightforward. In others the frame has moved enough to need attention before a new door will seal correctly.
How long does an external door fitting take in Aldershot?
On a frame in good condition with a standard opening, around three to four hours. If there is work needed on the frame or the threshold, it takes longer. We give you a clear time estimate before the day based on what we find during the assessment.
Do I need permission to replace my front door in Aldershot?
For most properties in Aldershot, no. Standard replacements fall under permitted development. If your property is in a designated area or has any listed status, different rules may apply. Rushmoor Borough Council can confirm whether your address has any restrictions if you are unsure.
What happens if the frame is rotten when you arrive?
We tell you before any work starts. Fitting a new door into a rotten frame is not something we do because it will not last and it is not good advice to give. If the frame needs replacing we explain what is involved and give you a price for that as a separate or combined piece of work. You decide how you want to proceed from there.
What lock does a front door in Aldershot need?
A multipoint lock is the standard for any front door. It secures the door at multiple points along the edge rather than a single point, which makes it significantly harder to force. Most home insurance policies require this as a minimum. We fit and test the mechanism as part of every external door installation.
What will affect the price of my external door fitting?
The condition of the frame is the biggest factor. A clean frame in a square opening is a straightforward job. If there is rot, movement or threshold damage, that adds time. The door type and whether it is a stock size or needs to be made to measure also affects the overall cost. We give a fixed price before starting.
