Composite doors in Leeds.

Why composite?

Layers bonded into one solid, insulated slab – tougher, warmer and quieter than a standard door. It resists warping and cracking, and it never needs repainting. Secure locking, and covered by our 10-year guarantee.

Styles and colours

Cottage styles, 1930s panels, clean modern slabs – in colours from anthracite to chartwell green. Not sure what suits the house? Send us a photo and we'll tell you honestly what we'd put on it.

The proof on our own streets

We refitted a doorway on Lower Wortley Road – same doorway, before and after. See it for yourself on our projects page.

Fitted properly, first time

We fit every job with our own skilled team – not subcontractors. James, the owner, is a tradesman with more than twenty years on the tools, and he leads a small team of our own fitters: the people who measure up are the people who stand behind the work. We're family-run, based in Lower Wortley – no showroom, no call centre, no sales patter. And we're CERTASS certified (registration 19-1239), so your installation is registered and self-certified to Building Regulations – nothing for you to chase with the council.

What does it cost?

Every opening is different, so we don't do list prices. We come and measure, then give you an honest written figure – no pressure, no chasing phone calls afterwards. Want to spread the cost? Finance is available.

Where we work

Based in Lower Wortley (LS12) and fitting across Leeds – Pudsey, Bramley, Armley, Kirkstall, Horsforth, Farsley, Stanningley, Calverley and Morley included.

Composite or uPVC: which front door?

Both make a good front door, and Wortley Windows & Doors fits both across Leeds – so here's the honest difference. A composite door is a solid, insulated slab: heavier in the hand, warmer through winter, with a richer, deeper colour finish. A uPVC door is lighter, hollow at its core, and costs less.

If the budget stretches, we'd usually point you at composite for the door you use every day. If it doesn't, a well-fitted uPVC door will still serve you for years – we'd rather fit the right door for your money than talk you up a price band. Ask for a free quote on both and compare, or browse all our doors first.

How long does a composite door last?

Decades, fitted properly – a composite door is usually the last front door a house needs. The slab is layers bonded into one solid piece, so there's nothing to warp, crack or peel, and unlike timber it never needs repainting. Upkeep is a wipe-down with soapy water and a drop of oil on the hinges and lock now and then. That's it.

And you're not just taking our word for it. Every door we fit is covered by our 10-year guarantee – if something's not right, James and the team come back and put it right.

"Faster turnaround than competitors, quality installations."

Do I need Building Regs approval for a new front door?

Yes – replacing a glazed external door is notifiable work, but when we fit it there's nothing for you to arrange. We're CERTASS certified (registration 19-1239), so we self-certify the installation. CERTASS notifies your local authority automatically and you receive a compliance certificate – there's no application to make and nothing for you to do.

Keep that certificate safe: your solicitor will ask for it when you sell the house. Some installers skip this step. We never do – it's part of the job on every door we fit, wherever we work across Leeds.

"From start to finish we received excellent service."

What door security standards actually test

PAS 24 tests the complete door as it is built – frame, slab, glazing, locking and hardware together – and it is a straight pass or fail. There are no grades and no scores. A doorset either resists an opportunist working with easily concealed tools under test, or it doesn't. The version in use now is PAS 24:2022+A1:2024, from the British Standards Institution. The part that matters to you is this: the result belongs to that exact build. Swap a component for a different one and the certification stops describing the door in front of you, because it is no longer the door that was tested.

Those three get muddled easily, and a brochure rarely helps. A door can carry multi-point locking, have the word security printed all over the page, and never have been through a PAS 24 test. That doesn't make it a bad door. It means nobody has proved anything about it yet, and you're entitled to know which of the three you're actually being told about before you sign.

What we'll tell you about the door you're quoted

We'll tell you exactly what the door on your quote carries, and what it doesn't. It would be easy to run one blanket security line across every door we sell, and plenty of pages do. We won't, because the honest answer sits with the specific doorset: which slab, which frame, which glass, which cylinder and hinges. Ask us for a quote and we'll go and get the answer for that configuration, then put it in writing next to the price. If we can't get a straight answer out of the supplier, we'll tell you that as well, rather than guess.

Ask the same question of everyone else quoting you, and ask them to name the product. A door that has passed the test has a certificate behind it with a product reference on it, so a straight answer should be easy to give. And whichever way it goes, remember the fitting counts as much as the door: a tested doorset hung badly in a tired frame isn't secure. That part we can promise. Every door we fit is hung by our own fitters, not subcontractors, and the work is covered by our 10-year guarantee.
