How we work

Our Door Installation Process Step by Step

A clear six-step process from quote to fitted door

Buying a new door doesn’t have to feel complicated. We’ve broken the door installation process into six steps that take you from initial enquiry to fitted door, with everything managed by our Rushden team and no subcontracting.

Most projects complete within 3 to 8 weeks depending on door type. FENSA-registered installation, a 10-year guarantee and full aftercare are included as standard.

The six steps of our door fitting process

Step 1, your free no-pressure quote

It usually starts with a conversation. Tell us about your home, the style you like, and what matters most to you out of security, looks and energy efficiency. We prepare a free door quotation covering supply, fitting and any extras.

If you’re nearby, drop into our Rushden showroom for a chat and to see full-size doors in person.

Step 2, choosing the details

This is where the design comes together. Our range of door colours, hardware, glass options and security upgrades means you can spec the door exactly how you want it.

A few things we’ll walk through with you:

  • Door range (composite, uPVC, hybrid, wooden)
  • Colour, including dual-colour and RAL matches
  • Glass design and privacy level
  • Hardware and finish
  • Security spec, including PAS 24 and Secured by Design options


Step 3, the professional survey

We send one of our experienced FENSA-registered installers out to take accurate measurements. The survey checks the existing frame, threshold and structural opening, and confirms exactly what’s needed for a proper fit.

Made-to-measure doors only work if the measurements are right. We don’t pad gaps with silicone.

Step 4, made just to your spec

Your door is built to order, not pulled from a warehouse. Every detail gets checked before dispatch, from the paintwork finish to the action of the lock.

Lead times by range:

  • uPVC doors, around 5 to 6 weeks
  • Composite doors, 5 to 8 weeks
  • Hybrid doors, around 8 weeks
  • Wooden doors, 8 to 10 weeks


Step 5, installation day

On the day of fitting, our team arrives ready for the job. We remove your old door, install the new one, and test every hinge, seal and lock before tidying up. Most external door installations complete in a single day.

You won’t find a stray screw left behind. We take the old door and waste with us.

Step 6, aftercare you can rely on

Your door comes with a 10-year guarantee and practical care tips. If you ever have a question, need an adjustment or want a part replaced, our Rushden team is a phone call away.

Door Installation Process FAQs

How does the door installation process work?

The door installation process at Homeefe follows six steps. Free quote first, then design choices, then a professional survey, then made-to-order manufacture, then installation, then aftercare. Most projects complete within 3 to 8 weeks depending on door type, with FENSA-registered installation and a 10-year guarantee as standard.

Do you offer a free quote for a new door?

Yes, we offer a free no-pressure quote for every project. This covers door type, colour, hardware, glass, security spec and installation, with itemised pricing so you can see exactly what each element costs before committing.

Who carries out the door survey and installation?

Our own FENSA-registered installers carry out both the survey and the installation. We never subcontract the work, which means the team measuring your door is the same team that fits it, with consistent standards from start to finish.

How long does it take from order to fitted door?

From order to fitted door typically takes 3 to 8 weeks. uPVC doors are usually 5 to 6 weeks. Composite doors run 5 to 8 weeks. Hybrid doors take around 8 weeks. Wooden doors take 8 to 10 weeks because of the finishing process.

Are the doors made to order?

Yes, every door is made to your exact specification rather than pulled from stock. The finish, lock action, glazing and hardware are all checked before dispatch as part of our quality process.

What happens on installation day?

On installation day, our team removes the old door, fits the new frame and door, seals around the perimeter, tests every hinge, lock and seal, and tidies up before leaving. Most installations complete in a single day. We take all waste away with us.

Do you fit doors locally in Northamptonshire?

Yes, we fit doors across an 80 km radius of Rushden, covering Northampton, Bedford, Milton Keynes, Kettering, Cambridge, Peterborough, Rugby, Hemel Hempstead and surrounding towns. Supply-only delivery is available UK-wide for trade and self-fit projects.

What happens after the door is fitted?

After installation, your door comes with a 10-year guarantee and care advice tailored to the material. The Homeefe team remains available for adjustments, replacement parts and aftercare support for as long as you have the door.
