Composite doors fitted across Caerleon & NP18
Riverside village with Roman roots — heritage streets on one side, modern estates on the other. That mix is why no single composite doors spec works for every Caerleon address — a Ultra Pontem terrace needs different reveals to a newer Christchurch estate. We survey first, recommend the right GRP weatherproof skin, and quote in writing. 10-year product guarantee with a 2-year fitting guarantee on top sits behind every job.

Owner occupiers replacing one door or one window
Written for owner occupiers replacing one door or one window
A single replacement is a half day job for us and a whole day of your time, so the useful detail is arrival window, how the old frame comes out, and how the new one is made good inside and out.
What this buyer actually needs from us
- A fixed price for one opening with no minimum order pressure
- A short arrival window rather than a whole day waiting in
- The glazing bead is tapped in with a rubber mallet, not a metal claw — the profile marks otherwise.
- The old broken glass is bagged in a labelled sack, not tipped loose into a general skip.

What we typically find on composite doors surveys around here
- ·The front door threshold weather-bar seal is missing its rubber blade and the metal channel is bent.
- ·There is a permanent green algal streak below the sill where water is bypassing the drip groove.
- ·A cracked pane has been temporarily patched with clear tape and left for six months.
- ·The composite door skin has a UV bloom on the south-facing elevation that no longer matches the colour on the shaded elevation.
- ·The trickle vents are painted shut and the room fugs up within an hour of the kettle going on.
- ·The Yale night-latch on top of the multipoint is a sign the resident does not trust the primary lock.
- ·The trickle-vent covers have been snapped off and taped over from inside.
- ·The letterbox opening is not draught-proofed at all — a candle held two feet away flickers in a light wind.
- ·The gap under the front door has been carpet-strip filled from inside — the exterior weather bar is missing.
- ·The outer frame has moved fractionally over the years, dropping the bottom hinge screw pattern out of line.
- ·A previous cylinder swap left the escutcheon plate rotating freely — a snap risk that nobody logged.

How our fitters actually do the work
- ·Every silicone bead is tooled with the correct radius spatula, not smoothed with a wet finger only.
- ·The composite slab is not trimmed on site — if it doesn't fit, a new slab is ordered rather than reduced.
- ·Cavity closers get inserted where the old frame's cavity closer has failed — not omitted because it is unseen work.
- ·The friction stay on a new casement is set to the client's preferred restraint at handover — 45°, 90°, or fully open.
- ·The mitre joins on any Georgian bar are picked to face the corner that is least visible from indoors.
- ·The letterplate cowl is checked to swing free without touching the door face — a rubbing cowl marks the paint within weeks.
- ·The window boards are pre-treated on the underside with a moisture seal before setting in place.
- ·The dustsheet inside the room is a heavy canvas taped to the skirting, not a light plastic left loose.
- ·The internal skirting is protected with a strip of packing tape across the top edge before any tool touches it.
- ·The head of the frame is packed dry before the sides are fixed, so the frame does not distort during installation.
- ·Door thresholds are set with a spirit level along their full length and then re-checked with a straight edge.
- ·The site tidy happens twice per day, not once at the end, so brick dust doesn't track through the house.
- ·The lead fitter leaves a handwritten note of anything the client should watch in the first month, not a printed generic checklist.
- ·The perimeter tape between frame and reveal is a compressible foam tape, not a plain butyl strip.
- ·The manufacturer's serial-number label on the new frame is peeled off, not left to yellow on the glass for years.
- ·The old frame comes out in one piece where possible so the reveal detail is not chased through with a demolition bar.
FAQs — composite doors in Caerleon

A door that needs lifting, shoving or a second attempt to lock is warning you before the gearbox fails completely.
A composite slab that catches on the frame has almost always moved at the hinges, and hinges are adjustable in three planes.
