Fitting a new composite front door typically takes half a day to one day when the door and frame are replaced like for like. Allow longer if the opening needs repairs or alterations. The door itself is made to order, so the wait between survey and fitting is usually longer than the installation.
What happens during a composite door fitting?
- The old door and frame are removed
- The new frame is set square and level, then fixed and sealed
- The door is hung, the multipoint lock and hinges are adjusted
- Trims and sealant are finished and the area is cleaned up
What can make the fitting take longer?
- Rotten timber or damaged brickwork around the opening
- Changing the size of the opening or adding side panels
- A new threshold or step
- Awkward access or a very heavy solid-core slab
How long before the door is ready to fit?
Composite doors are usually made to measure after a survey, so lead times of a few weeks are common. Your installer will confirm the date when you order.
Wednesfield Trade Windows, a family-run, Certass-registered installer, confirms the fitting time at survey when you choose composite doors.
