External Door Fitters in Farnborough

We fit external doors for homeowners and landlords across Farnborough. Whether a front door is draughty, damaged or just past its best, we assess the frame, take accurate measurements and fit the door so it closes cleanly, seals fully and stays secure.

External Doors We Fit in Farnborough

We fit composite front doors, timber doors, half-glazed back doors, stable doors and French doors across Farnborough. Like Aldershot next door, a lot of the housing here was built to a similar spec, but the frames on older properties have had decades of use and do not always match up to what a standard door size expects. We look at what is there and give honest advice on what will work.

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.

External Door Fitting in Farnborough

We start by checking the frame, the rebate depth and the threshold before any measurements are confirmed. Once we know the opening is sound, we fit the door level, set the weatherstrip for full contact on all sides, seal the threshold and test the locks and hardware. Nothing is left unchecked.

Trusted External Door Fitters in Farnborough

Farnborough has a lot of post-war and ex-military housing where the builds are similar but the condition varies quite a bit depending on how well the property has been maintained. We have visited jobs here where the frame looked solid from a distance but had soft spots at the corners and along the bottom rail that would have caused problems within months of a new door going in. We check the rebate and the frame condition before agreeing a door size every time, not as a formality but because it directly affects whether the job lasts. External doors are heavy and hinge placement has to account for that weight over years of use. Get the hinges wrong and the door will pull away from the frame and the lock will stop engaging. We arrive when agreed, work tidily and do not walk away until the door is hanging level and the lock is operating as it needs to.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Getting Started

My front door frame feels solid but there is a noticeable draught along the bottom. What is usually causing that?
Nine times out of ten it is the threshold seal. Either it has worn down, was never set correctly when the door was first fitted, or the door has dropped slightly over time and is no longer making contact. We check the threshold and the hang of the door when we visit. Sometimes it is a simple fix, sometimes the door needs to come out and be rehung. We tell you which before any work starts.
How long will fitting a new external door take in Farnborough?
On a frame that is in good condition, most external door fits take three to four hours. If the frame needs attention or the opening requires adjustment to get the door sitting level, that adds time. We give you an accurate estimate once we have seen the job.
Do I need planning permission to replace my front door in Farnborough?
In most cases no. Replacing a front door is treated as permitted development for standard residential properties. If your property sits within a conservation area or has any listed status, Rushmoor Borough Council can confirm what applies to your address.
The opening on my property looks uneven. Will that be a problem?
Not usually. We pack and adjust during the fit to compensate for openings that are not square. The door can still be hung level with even gaps around the frame. If the opening is significantly out we talk through the options with you before starting.
What type of lock should a new external front door have?
A multipoint locking system is the right choice. It engages at several points along the door edge when the handle is lifted, which makes it far harder to force than a single bolt. Most insurers specify this as a minimum requirement. We fit and test the full mechanism on every external door we install.
What affects the cost of fitting an external door in Farnborough?
Frame condition is the main factor. A sound frame in a standard opening keeps the job clean and the cost predictable. Rot, movement or threshold damage all add time. The door itself, whether composite or timber, stock size or made to measure, also affects the overall price. We agree a fixed price with you before any work begins.
