New door installation in St Albans
Whether it’s a tired front door or a leaking patio door, St Albans homeowners usually end up choosing between composite, uPVC and bifold.

Get the exact door dimensions confirmed before ordering, especially on older openings that may be slightly out of square.
Why locals choose us
- St Albans has Roman roots at Verulamium and a medieval abbey at its centre, and the historic core carries extensive conservation protections over its Georgian and Victorian streets.
- 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 St Albans? 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 St Albans? Usually, yes, though older Georgian and Victorian 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.
