How much new doors cost

What actually changes the band?

• Security spec: PAS 24 doorsets, TS 007 3-Star cylinders and (where available) Secured by Design raise protection and cost together - they’re verified UK benchmarks.
• Glazing: from clear to textured/etched; laminated security glass adds impact resistance and reduces noise.
• Colour & finish: specials, dual-colour interiors/exteriors, marine-grade coatings.
• Door furniture: handles, knockers, letterplates, pull bars.
• Smart access: keypads, readers, app-controlled locks.
• Site work: widening, trims, low thresholds, making good, disposal of the old door.

Supply-only vs supply & fit

Supply-only lowers the upfront spend, but you organise survey, fitting and compliance.

Supply & fit gives one point of responsibility, FENSA-registered installation and the right paperwork (FENSA certificate) for Building Regulations and future house sales.

Value over time: energy & security

• For peace of mind, aim for PAS 24 doorsets and TS 007 3-Star cylinders; RC 2 and 3, European security standards
• For warmth, check door energy ratings and U-values - less heat loss means fewer draughts in a Northampton winter and a cosier hallway in Bedford.

How Much New Doors Cost – Frequently Asked Questions

Why do quotes for a “similar” front door vary so much?

Specs hide in the detail: material, security rating (PAS 24, TS 007 3-Star, SBD), glass type, colour/finish, door furniture, thresholds and any site work. Two similar photos can land in different price bands once the spec is unpacked.

What are the typical UK price bands by material?

As a guide: uPVC £700–£1300, composite £750–£2000, hybrid £1800–£5000. Side panels or toplights usually nudge the band up one step.

Supply-only vs supply & fit - what’s included?

Supply-only covers the door itself; you arrange survey, fitting and compliance.
Supply & fit adds a made-to-measure survey, FENSA-registered installation, sealants/trims, making good and the FENSA certificate plus guarantees.

Do security upgrades make a big difference to cost?

They can lift the band slightly, yes. A PAS 24 doorset with a TS 007 3-Star cylinder or RC3 adds proven protection and long-term value.

How much do side panels or a toplight add?

Rule of thumb: expect one band up. Decorative or laminated security glass may add another half-step.

Does the type of glass change the budget a lot?

Clear or textured glass sits lower; etched patterns and laminated panes sit higher. Laminated glass also improves security and noise reduction, so it’s often worth the uplift.

Will a bespoke colour or dual-colour raise the band?

Usually a small step up versus standard colours. Dual-colour (different inside/out) adds custom work, so it can move you into the next band.

Do better U-values and energy ratings cost more?

Often a modest uplift for improved U-values or door energy ratings (e.g., BFRC labels). Over time, lower heat loss means a warmer hallway and fewer draughts - noticeable in a Northampton or Bedford winter.

How long from order to installation?

Most uPVC and composite doors are fitted in a few weeks, depending on colour, glass and hardware. We confirm your fitting window at quote stage and keep you updated.
