Premium Composite Door Replacement for Southampton homes
Professional composite door replacement service across Southampton and the wider SO area. Fully guaranteed, locally based, and ready to help today.
Composite doors are the modern standard for front entrances across Southampton. They combine a solid timber core with a UPVC subframe and a tough GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) skin — giving you a door that looks like timber, performs like UPVC, and provides far better security than either. Across the city we fit composite doors most weeks as upgrades from older UPVC, or as part of new builds and renovations.
Restoration Glazing supplies and fits composite doors across every Southampton postcode (SO14 to SO19). We work with the major UK manufacturers (Solidor, Endurance, Rockdoor, Comp Door) and offer hundreds of style, colour, and glass combinations. Every composite door comes with a 10-year guarantee on the door body and 5-year on the multi-point locking mechanism. TS007 3-star or SS312 Diamond anti-snap cylinders are fitted as standard.
Composite door replacement in Southampton typically costs between £1,000 and £2,200 fitted, depending on style, glass design, and hardware. Stable doors and double-leaf composite door sets are at the higher end. We provide a free survey and fixed-price written quote — no high-pressure sales, no "today only" pricing tactics.
Why Composite Door Replacement Matters in Southampton
A composite door replacement in Southampton is the ultimate upgrade for your home's entrance. Composite doors combine a glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) skin with a solid insulating core to deliver the elegant appearance of a traditional timber door with none of the maintenance headaches. Across this bustling port city, from period properties near Ocean Village marina to modern homes in Shirley and Bitterne, composite doors are rapidly becoming the most popular choice for homeowners who want the best in security, insulation, and style. Southampton's maritime climate and proximity to the coast makes composite doors an ideal choice, as they won't warp, rot, or fade like timber alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions — Composite Door Replacement Southampton
How much does a composite door cost in Southampton?
Most composite doors are £1,000-£2,200 fitted, depending on style, glass design, and hardware spec. Standard front-door styles in popular colours (anthracite, navy, white) are at the lower end. Stable doors, double-leaf sets, and bespoke colours are at the higher end.
Composite door or UPVC door — which is better for my Southampton home?
Composite is more secure (solid timber core), more thermally efficient, lasts longer (typically 30+ years vs 20-25 for UPVC), and looks more like timber. It's £300-£800 more expensive than UPVC. For front doors, composite is usually worth it; for less-visible back doors, UPVC is fine.
How long does it take to install a composite door in Southampton?
Survey takes 30 minutes. Manufacturing is 4-6 weeks for standard styles, longer for bespoke colours and stable doors. Installation is typically completed in 3-4 hours, with the old door removed and new one fitted in a single visit.
Are composite doors secure in Southampton?
Yes — every composite door we fit comes with multi-point locking (typically 5-7 locking points), TS007 3-star or SS312 Diamond anti-snap cylinder, internal hinge bolts, and reinforced strike plates. They meet PAS 24 enhanced security standard. Most UK home insurers categorise them as "high security."
