A correctly specified back door helps reduce draughts around busy family zones, supporting more stable indoor temperatures through the year.
Low-Maintenance Everyday Practicality
Current back door systems are designed for repeated use, easier cleaning and long-term weather resistance across the changing UK seasons.
Cleaner Rear Elevation Styling
From modern anthracite finishes to classic white and woodgrain effects, back doors can be matched to your existing windows and wider property style.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions on back-door materials, security, glazing and installation planning.
What materials are available for new back doors?
Common pathways include uPVC, composite, aluminium, and timber-style systems. During survey, we help you compare upkeep, security priorities, thermal performance and budget.
Can back doors be specified with higher security standards?
Yes. Multi-point locking is standard, and enhanced pathways aligned with PAS 24 and Document Q can be discussed where project requirements call for them.
Will replacing my back door improve energy efficiency?
In most cases, yes. Modern slabs, frames, seals and glazing build-ups can reduce avoidable heat loss compared with ageing rear-door systems.
Can I choose double or triple glazing for a back door?
Yes. Double glazing is the standard route for many projects, while selected systems support triple-glazing upgrades where comfort and compliance targets justify it.
Are low-threshold back door options available?
On selected systems, yes. We review threshold detail at survey stage to balance everyday access convenience with weather-performance expectations.
Do back door replacements usually need planning permission?
Most like-for-like replacements are permitted development, but listed properties and conservation areas may require additional consent checks before installation.
How long does a back door project usually take?
Lead times vary by system, glazing and finish. After survey, we provide a clear timetable covering specification sign-off, manufacture and installation.
