From start to finish, we found Custom Choice excellent. Getting in touch, talking through what we wanted, then installing the doors. Would definitely recommend.
What can we fix?
“My front door lets the whole house down”
A front door is the one home improvement everybody sees — you, twice a day, and everyone who ever walks up the path. A door that has dropped, faded, swollen or whistles in the wind quietly drags the whole frontage down. Replacing it is also the fastest job we do: one day, and the house looks different from the street.
What a modern door actually changes
- Security
- A Comp Door composite door is built on a 48mm solid timber core with multi-point locking, tested to the current UK security standard and Secured by Design accredited — a different category from the door most houses were built with. Kubu smart sensors come as standard, so your phone knows whether the door is locked.
- Warmth and draughts
- The insulated core and compression seals close the gap you can currently feel from the hallway. If the hall is the coldest space in the house, the door and its frame are usually why.
- The frontage
- Thirty-plus styles, eighteen colours and hundreds of glazing and hardware combinations — from a bottle-green cottage door with black ironmongery to a flush anthracite slab with a long bar handle. Our advice article on choosing a colour is the most enjoyable homework we set.
Design it yourself, then let us check it
The Comp Door designer lets you build your exact door — style, colour, glass, hardware — on your own photograph of your house. Design it at the kitchen table, then send it to us or bring it to the showroom, and the survey confirms the measurements and specification before anything is ordered. The door you imagined is the door that arrives.
When you do not need a new door
A door that catches or does not lock smoothly is sometimes a hinge and keep adjustment, not a replacement — especially on doors under ten years old. If we survey your door and that is the honest answer, we will say so and leave you with a door that works. The transformation case is for doors that are tired, insecure or cold beyond adjustment — which, after twenty years, most are.
Get it looked at properly — free
Book a free survey — or design your door online first and bring it with you. Either way you get a written, itemised quote and a straight answer on whether your current door just needs adjusting.

Required new composite front and back door. Visited my home and provided information of the product, very friendly and personable with a no pressure sales technique. Competitive quote provided and fitting date locked in. Fitter arrived first thing in the morning.

The process was very quick and straight forward. Love my door and it is very smooth to unlock. Great value and helpful staff.
