Composite and uPVC doors for Basildon homes
Whether it’s a tired front door or a leaking patio door, Basildon homeowners usually end up choosing between composite, uPVC and bifold. It’s a planned town rather than an organic market town, which generally makes window replacement more straightforward than in the older towns nearby. Get the exact door dimensions confirmed before ordering, especially on older openings that may be slightly out of square.
Why locals choose us
- Basildon was designated a new town in 1949, so the vast majority of its housing stock is postwar, with a lot of standard-sized modern casement openings.
- Multi-point locking as standard on new doors, which matters more for security than the finish does.
- Colour and glass options matched to the rest of the property, not a single stock design.
- Older, slightly out-of-square openings measured properly rather than assuming a standard size will fit.

Frequently asked questions
Composite or uPVC - which is better for a front door in Basildon? Composite doors cost more but hold their shape and colour better over time and generally feel more solid. uPVC is the cheaper option and still performs well if budget is the main concern.
Can bifold doors be fitted to an existing opening in Basildon? Usually, yes, though older postwar properties sometimes need the opening adjusted slightly since original openings weren’t built to modern bifold door widths.
How long does a door installation take? A single front or back door is typically a half-day job. A full bifold set across a rear extension takes longer, usually a full day, because of the extra frame and track work.
