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 Reading

External door fitting in Reading changes from one area to the next. Older terraces can have frames that have moved over time, while flats and managed properties often need reliable closing, secure locking and clear access arrangements. Family homes may need a front door that improves the entrance and a rear door that handles garden traffic every day. We check the frame, threshold, hinge side, lock side and weather seals before fitting starts because a new door will only perform well if the opening is sound. If the frame is worn, the threshold is uneven or the lock side is out of line, we explain it before the door is hung. The finished door should close cleanly, seal well and feel secure in everyday use.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Getting Started

Do you fit external doors on older terraces in Reading?
Yes. We fit external doors on older terraces where the frame and opening are suitable. We check the frame, threshold, reveal, hinge side and lock side before fitting because older openings can vary.
Can you fit external doors for flats or managed properties?
Yes. We can fit external doors for flats and managed properties where the correct door specification, access and approvals are confirmed before the job.
Do I need permission to replace a front door in Reading?
Most like-for-like replacements do not need planning permission, but listed buildings and homes in conservation areas can have extra rules. It is worth checking before changing style, material or glazing.
Can you replace a front door that is hard to lock?
Yes. A door can be hard to lock if it has dropped, the frame has shifted, the keep is out of line or the threshold is catching. We check the cause before advising on replacement.
Do you fit back doors, French doors and patio doors?
Yes. We fit back doors, French doors, patio doors and other rear access doors where the opening is suitable. Wider openings need careful alignment so locks and seals work cleanly.
What affects the cost of external door fitting in Reading?
The cost depends on the door type, frame condition, opening size, hardware and whether the threshold or frame needs work. Clear photos help us quote more accurately.
