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.

Light blue front door with four window panes and curtains, flanked by a shuttered window and a flower pot with yellow and white flowers.
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.

White French doors with glass panels on a house exterior, flanked by hanging flower baskets on either side.
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.

Wooden rear door with glass panel set in a black vertically paneled exterior wall, with stone pathway and potted plants nearby.
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.

Trusted External Door Fitters in Guildford

External door fitting in Guildford can vary a lot from one property to the next. A town-centre flat may need a secure entrance door that closes cleanly every time. A terraced house may have an older frame that needs careful checking before a replacement is fitted. A family home may need a rear door, French doors or patio doors that can handle daily access to the garden. We check the full opening before fitting starts, including the frame condition, threshold, hinge side, lock side and weather seal. If the frame has moved, the threshold is worn or the lock position needs attention, we explain it before the door is hung. The aim is simple: a clean installation, secure operation and an external door that suits the home without causing problems later.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Getting Started

Do you fit external doors for houses and flats in Guildford?
Yes. We fit external doors for houses, flats and managed properties across Guildford where the door, frame and opening are suitable. This can include front doors, back doors, side doors, composite doors, uPVC doors, timber doors, French doors, patio doors and stable doors.
Can you fit a new external door on an older Guildford property?
Yes. Older properties often need closer checks before fitting because the frame may have moved, the threshold may be uneven or the opening may not be a standard size. We check these details before fitting so the new door is not forced into a poor opening.
Do I need permission to replace a front door in Guildford?
Many simple door replacements do not need planning permission, but rules can be different for listed buildings or homes in conservation areas. Guildford has conservation areas, so it is worth checking before changing the style, material or appearance of a front-facing door.
Can you replace a front door that is hard to lock?
Yes. A front door can become hard to lock if the door has dropped, the frame has shifted, the keep is out of line or the threshold is catching. We check the door and frame first, then advise whether adjustment or replacement is the better option.
Can you fit back doors, French doors and patio doors?
Yes. We fit rear external doors, French doors, patio doors and other garden access doors where the opening is suitable. Wider openings need accurate alignment so the doors, frame, locks and seals work together cleanly.
What should I send for an external door fitting quote in Guildford?
Send your Guildford location, the type of door you want fitted, whether you already have the new door, and photos of the current door, frame, threshold, hinges and lock area. Clear photos help us understand the work before quoting.
