Front Doors: Costs & Other Considerations

A front door is one of the few purchases in a house that has to do several unrelated jobs at once. It has to keep weather out, keep heat in, resist someone trying to get past it, and look like the front of your home. That combination is why front door budgets vary so widely, and why so much of the advice online is built on numbers nobody can check.

This guide prices the job using real figures from our own catalogue. Doors2Floors has supplied doors and flooring to homes and businesses across the UK, and our external doors collection currently holds 96 lines. Where we cannot verify a figure, we say so rather than inventing one.

What a Front Door Project Actually Costs

The leaf is the headline. The rest of the list is where budgets go wrong.

The door leaf

Across our external range, prices currently start at £86.79 for the LPD Ledged and Braced Redwood external door and reach £1,110 for a Majestic unfinished external oak door with a bevelled glass sidelight.

The frame and cill

An external frame is not the same thing as an internal lining. It carries a weather cill, a rebate and the security fixings. Our LPD External Hardwood Door Frame and Cill is currently £109.15.

The threshold and weather detail

Water has to be thrown clear of the opening. Cills, drip details and weather bars are not decoration.

The locking hardware

A cylinder, a multipoint or mortice lock, a handle set and usually a letter plate. This is the group most often bought last and most often underspecified.

The hinges

External doors are heavier than internal ones and need hinges rated for the weight. We list over 350 door hinge lines covering internal and external duty.

The finishing

Unfinished external timber must be sealed on every face before the weather reaches it. This is not optional and it is not a job to leave until the weekend after.

The making good

New frames mean new plaster inside, new pointing or render outside, and repainting either side of the opening.

The labour

Fitting an external door involves security, weathering and often the alarm or the entry system. It is a different job to hanging an internal leaf.

Real External Door Prices at Doors2Floors

These are live catalogue prices, which makes them the only part of your budget that does not need estimating.

The entry point

The LPD Ledged and Braced Redwood external door at £86.79 is our cheapest external leaf, available in six sizes from 1981mm x 610mm upward. It is a traditional boarded door and it suits outbuildings, side entrances and cottage back doors more than a formal front elevation.

Framed ledged and braced

The LPD Framed Ledged and Braced Redwood at £111.58 adds a proper frame to the boarded construction, which makes it far more stable in a front door position.

Traditional panelled softwood

The LPD 2XG Redwood external door at £111.58 is the recognisable two panel glazed pattern found across a lot of UK housing stock.

Hardwood blanks

The LPD Hardwood Lipped Blanks external door at £101.54 is available in twelve sizes and is the usual answer where an opening is not standard and the door will be cut to suit.

The hardwood middle ground

Hardwood accounts for 39 of our 96 external lines and covers most of the middle of the range. It is denser than softwood, holds a finish better and costs more to buy.

Oak front doors

We list 20 oak external lines. The LPD Majestic Glazed External Oak sits at £922.88 and the Empress Glazed External Oak at £1,011.85. Oak is the top of our timber range and it needs maintaining. Our guide to cleaning and maintaining oak doors and our wooden front door care guide cover what that involves.

The very top of the range

The Majestic unfinished external oak door with zinc clear bevelled glass and sidelight is £1,110. A sidelight changes the whole elevation and it also changes the structural opening, so it is a design decision before it is a purchase.

What that spread tells you

Timber external doors in our range run from £86.79 to £1,110. That is a factor of nearly thirteen between the cheapest and the dearest leaf, and almost all of it is material, size and glazing rather than brand.

Composite Front Doors

Composite doors are the most common front door choice in new and refurbished UK homes, and they are priced differently to timber.

They are sold as complete sets

Our 18 composite external doors are supplied as door and frame together, which is why the headline number looks higher than a bare timber leaf. You are comparing a complete assembly to a component.

What they cost here

Composite sets in our range run from £725.00 for the BCD Duck Egg Blue composite with anthracite grey frame to £895.00 for the BCD Black Long Bar composite with a white frame. Slate grey sets sit at £795.00.

The finishes we actually stock

Our current composite mix is weighted towards greys and blacks, with anthracite and slate the most common, plus single examples in duck egg blue, elephant grey and oak effect. If you have a specific colour in mind, check availability before you plan the elevation around it.

Handle styles

Our composite sets come with lever handles, long bar handles or finger pull details already specified. That matters because changing the handle style on a composite door later is not the simple swap it is on timber.

Sizing

Composite sets are supplied at fixed sizes such as 892mm x 2075mm, 975mm x 1980mm and 965mm x 1995mm. They are not trimmed to fit in the way a timber leaf is, so the opening has to suit the set.

Maintenance

The main advantage is that they do not need repainting. Our grey composite door guide covers what they are made of and how they behave over time.

Timber or composite

Timber gives you a door you can refinish, resize slightly and match to a period property. Composite gives you a sealed set with no decorating. Neither is universally better and the right answer usually depends on the age of the house.

Glazed Front Doors

Glass in a front door is the difference between a bright hall and a dark one, and it carries cost and security implications.

How much of our range is glazed

Of our 96 external lines, 54 include glazing of some form. Our dedicated glazed external doors collection holds 35 lines from £274.81 for the LPD Stable 1 Light Glazed Hardwood door.

What glazing adds to the price

Comparing within our own range, the cheapest glazed external door sits well above the cheapest solid one. That gap is the glass, the beading and the extra manufacturing.

Security glazing

Glass in a front door near a latch is a security consideration. Talk to your fitter and your insurer about the appropriate specification for your situation rather than relying on general guidance.

Borrowed light without exposure

If you want light but not visibility, obscured and textured glazing does the job. The same logic applies inside, where we list over 20 frosted glazed internal lines.

Sidelights and fanlights

These transform a dark hallway more than a glazed leaf alone. They also change the structural opening, which makes them a build decision rather than a shopping decision.

Stable doors

A glazed stable door gives light, ventilation and a distinctive look. The LPD Cottage Stable 6 Light Glazed External Oak sits at £582.46, and our stable doors guide covers how they work in practice.

Cleaning and condensation

Glazed front doors show weather more than solid ones. Expect to clean them more often, and watch for condensation between panes on any older unit.

Frames, Cills and Thresholds

The frame is where a front door either keeps weather out or does not, and it is the line most often missed in a rough budget.

Why an external frame is different

It has a weather cill, a deeper rebate, provision for weather seals and a specification suited to security fixings. Our over 30 internal frames and linings are not a substitute.

Frame and cill pricing

Our LPD External Hardwood Door Frame and Cill is currently £109.15. That is a real number to put in your budget rather than a guess.

Reusing an existing frame

Perfectly possible if it is sound, square and not rotten at the foot. That is where external frames fail first, so check the bottom of both jambs before deciding.

Threshold detail

The threshold has to shed water outward and provide a seal inward. A weather bar and a good cill do more for comfort than any amount of draught tape applied later.

Accessibility thresholds

Low or level thresholds matter if anyone in the household has mobility needs. They also need careful detailing so water does not track inward. Take advice on this before ordering.

Making good around a new frame

Inside there is plaster and architrave, outside there is pointing, render or brickwork. Our architraves guide covers the internal trim.

Sealing and pointing

The joint between frame and masonry is what stops water tracking in. It is a small material cost and a real labour item.

Sizes We Actually Stock

Ordering to a size we hold is always cheaper and faster than a bespoke leaf.

Traditional imperial sizes

Our external timber doors cover 1981mm heights in widths of 610mm, 686mm, 762mm, 838mm and 915mm, which are the 24, 27, 30, 33 and 36 inch widths still common in UK housing stock.

Metric sizes

We also carry 2040mm heights in 526mm, 626mm, 726mm, 826mm and 926mm widths, plus 2032mm x 813mm and 2057mm x 838mm.

Composite set sizes

Composite doors come at fixed set sizes such as 892mm x 2075mm and 965mm x 1995mm. Measure before you fall in love with a colour.

Blanks for awkward openings

Where nothing standard fits, a hardwood blank cut to suit is the usual route. Our hardwood lipped blanks come in twelve sizes from £101.54.

How to measure

Measure the structural opening at three points in each direction and work to the smallest, then check both diagonals. Our door measuring guide covers the method for external openings as well as internal.

Trimming allowances

External doors have limited trim allowance and cutting into a lipping or a core exposes the door to water. Read the manufacturer allowance before planing, and see our guide on planing a door.

Handing

Record which way the door opens and which side the hinges sit, from a consistent viewpoint, before ordering anything.

Security Hardware and Ironmongery

This is the group that quietly adds up, and the group where saving money is a false economy.

Locks and cylinders

The lock specification on a front door is a security and insurance question, not a style question. Speak to your fitter and check your home insurance requirements before choosing.

Hinges rated for the weight

An external leaf is heavier than an internal one, and oak and composite sets heavier still. Our over 350 door hinge lines include heavier duty options.

Handles and handle sets

We list over 2,500 door handle lines and over 280 handle packs from £8.99, though external door furniture is usually specified as a matched set. Our handles guide explains the functions.

Traditional door furniture

For period properties, our over 210 handles on back plate lines and over 30 door stop styles from £10.88 cover the traditional look inside and out.

Letter plates and numerals

Small items that are visible from the pavement. Matching the finish across the handle, letter plate, knocker and numerals is what makes a front door look considered.

Keeping brass looking right

Brass and plated furniture on an exposed elevation needs attention. Our guide to cleaning and maintaining brass door handles covers what to use.

Doorbells and entry

Wired and wireless bells, video entry and smart locks all add cost and some add wiring. Electrical work is for a qualified electrician.

Buy the ironmongery before fitting day

A fitter waiting for a letter plate to arrive is a chargeable delay.

Why We Do Not Publish a Fitting Rate

Almost every front door cost article opens with a confident labour figure. We do not, and the reason matters.

We do not employ fitters

We supply doors. We do not send out installers and we do not see their invoices, so any rate we printed would be a guess dressed as expertise.

Rates are not national

What a joiner or installer charges varies by region, by season, by how busy the trade is, by access and by whether they are also making good brickwork or plaster.

Scope varies more than rate

Replacing a leaf in a sound frame and replacing a whole frame with a new cill and making good are entirely different jobs. Quoting one figure for both is meaningless.

What to do instead

Get three written quotes from local installers priced against the same specification. Give each of them the same product reference, the same hardware list and the same scope for making good.

What a good quote itemises

Labour separated from materials, who supplies the ironmongery, whether the frame is included, whether making good inside and outside is included, who removes the old door, and whether decorating is in scope.

Red flags in a quote

A single number with no breakdown, pressure to decide immediately, or a refusal to name the actual product being supplied.

Where you can compare honestly

On the product. You can check our prices against anyone. That is exactly why we publish them and why we will not publish a labour figure we cannot stand behind.

What Changes a Front Door Quote

Whether the frame is being replaced

This is the biggest single variable. A leaf swap into a sound frame is a fraction of the work of a full frame replacement with new cill and making good.

The condition of the opening

Rot at the foot of a jamb, a failed cill or crumbling pointing all turn a door job into a repair job.

Door weight

Oak and composite sets are heavy and often need two people.

Whether there is a sidelight or fanlight

These change the opening and usually the structure above it. Structural work needs structural advice from a suitably qualified professional.

Security specification

Multipoint locking, reinforced keeps and secure hinge bolts take longer to fit correctly than a simple mortice.

Alarm and entry systems

Contacts, video entry and smart locks all add coordination and sometimes a second trade.

Access and parking

A terraced house on a narrow street with no parking is a slower job than a driveway property.

Weather on the day

The opening is exposed while the work happens. Bad weather genuinely slows external door work.

Making good outside

Pointing, render patching or brickwork repair around the frame is a separate skill and sometimes a separate trade.

DIY Versus Paying a Professional

What DIY saves

The labour line only. Materials cost the same and external work has less margin for error than internal work.

What DIY risks

Water ingress, a door that binds in wet weather, a security specification that is not fitted correctly, and a finish that fails in the first winter.

When DIY is reasonable

Replacing a like for like leaf into a sound, square existing frame, with the same hardware positions and no security upgrade.

When to pay someone

Frame replacement. Anything involving a cill. Anything with a sidelight. Any multipoint locking system. Any opening showing rot or movement. Anything above single storey height.

Tools you would need

A long level, a good tape, a combination square, a chisel set, a plane, a cordless drill and driver, a router for lock and hinge recesses, packers, sealant gun and a second pair of hands.

The middle path

Buy the door, frame and ironmongery yourself so you control specification and price, then pay for labour only.

Insurance and warranties

Check whether your home insurance or a product warranty requires professional installation before you decide to do it yourself.

Thermal Performance and Running Costs

Why the front door matters less than people think

A front door is a small part of the external envelope. It is worth getting right, but it is not the whole heating story of a house.

Why it matters more than people think

Draughts around a badly fitted door are felt every time you walk past it, and perceived comfort is not the same as measured heat loss.

Reading U values

Suppliers quote thermal performance as a U value. Lower is better. Our U values guide explains how to read the figures and what they do and do not tell you.

We will not quote energy savings

Any specific claim about money saved on heating depends on your house, your heating system, your tariff and your habits. We are not going to attach a figure to that.

Draughtproofing the existing door first

If your current door is sound but draughty, sealing it is dramatically cheaper than replacing it. Our draughty doors guide covers the practical fixes.

Never block appliance ventilation

Do not block ventilation serving a gas or solid fuel appliance and do not block underfloor airbricks when you draughtproof.

The letter plate

A letter plate is a hole in your front door. A brush and flap seal on it is one of the cheapest comfort improvements available.

Finishing, Painting and Protecting

Unfinished doors must be sealed immediately

An unfinished external leaf is vulnerable from the moment it leaves the pallet. Seal every face and every edge, including the top and bottom, before the weather reaches it.

The edges are where doors fail

Top and bottom edges are the routes water uses. Skipping them is the single most common cause of a swollen or split front door.

Primed doors need topcoats

Primer is not protection. It is a base for protection. Our painting guide covers the method and our maintaining painted doors guide covers the schedule.

Oiled and stained oak

Oak looks best oiled and needs it repeated. Our oak maintenance guide and wooden front door care guide set out realistic intervals.

Oily rag safety

Cloths soaked in oil finishes can self heat and ignite. Dry them flat outdoors or immerse them in water before disposal. Never leave them balled up in a bin or a bag.

Lead paint in older homes

UK homes decorated before 1992 may carry lead paint on existing external joinery. Do not dry sand it and do not burn it off. Take advice on safe removal before disturbing old layers.

Working at height

Fanlights, canopies and upper level work above single storey are not ladder jobs. Pay a professional.

Choosing a colour that lasts

Dark colours on a south facing door get hot and move more. That is a practical consideration as well as an aesthetic one.

Colour, Style and Kerb Appeal

Why the front door does disproportionate work

It is the one part of a house every visitor touches and every passer by looks at. Spending here has more visible effect than almost anywhere else.

Matching the period

A four panel painted door on a Victorian terrace and a wide oak door on a modern build are not interchangeable. Our history of doors explains why certain patterns belong to certain eras.

Choosing a colour

Our front door colour ideas guide works through the popular options and what suits which elevation.

Black front doors

Still the most requested single colour. Our black front door guide covers the finishes and the maintenance implications.

Grey composite doors

Anthracite and slate dominate our composite range for a reason. Our grey composite door guide covers the look and the practicalities.

The whole elevation

The door is one element. Our notes on front garden ideas and preparing the exterior for viewings cover the setting.

Seasonal dressing

If you decorate for the seasons, our guides on front door wreath ideas, hanging a wreath and autumn decor cover it without damaging the finish.

What we will not claim

You will find plenty of confident statements online about exactly how much a new front door adds to a property value. We are not going to attach a number to that, because it depends entirely on the property, the area and the market at the time.

Living With a Front Door

Seasonal movement

Timber front doors take the biggest humidity swing in the house. Our guide on stopping doors swelling covers the causes and the fixes.

Sticking in wet weather

Usually a finish failure at an edge rather than a fitting problem. Find the unsealed edge before you plane anything.

Squeaks and stiffness

External hinges carry more weight and see more weather. Our notes on stopping doors squeaking apply.

Loose handles

Constant use loosens fixings. Our guide to fixing a loose door handle covers the repair.

Slamming

A front door that slams is hard on the frame and the hardware. Adjusting the closer or the latch is cheaper than replacing either.

Annual checks

Once a year, check the finish at every edge, the seal at the threshold, the pointing around the frame and the operation of every lock.

Pets

Front doors take a lot of scratching. Our guides on dogs scratching doors and cats scratching doors cover protection.

The hallway behind it

A new front door usually shows up a tired hallway. Our wall panelling guide, our flooring range of 12 Karndean lines from £14.00 and our rug ideas cover the space behind the door. Never place a loose rug at the foot of a staircase.

Regulations, Consents and When to Ask Someone Official

Replacement external doors

Replacing an external door can bring obligations around thermal performance and safety glazing. Confirm what applies to your property with your local building control body before ordering.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed building consent, conservation area rules, Article 4 directions, restrictive covenants and leasehold terms can all restrict what you may fit and even what colour you may paint it. Ask your local planning authority, freeholder or management company first.

Structural openings

Widening an opening, adding a sidelight or changing a lintel is structural work. Take structural advice before anything is cut.

Fire separation

Flats, houses in multiple occupation and doors between a garage and a dwelling often carry specific fire requirements. Our fire doors range covers over 240 lines from £87.39, including over 150 FD30 and 8 FD60 lines, but confirm what your building needs with your local building control body or a competent fire risk assessor. Our guide on what fire doors are and where they go is background reading, not compliance advice.

Damp and rot

If you find damp or rot around the opening, that is a job for a qualified surveyor or damp specialist before a new door goes in.

Electrical work

Doorbells, video entry, outside lighting and smart locks that need power are work for a qualified electrician.

Insurance

Check your policy for lock specification requirements before you choose hardware.

Front Door Materials Compared

Material decides more of your budget than style does, and it decides almost all of your maintenance. Here is how the options in our range actually behave.

Redwood and softwood

The cheapest route in, represented by 5 lines in our external range starting at £86.79. Softwood is light, easy to work and easy to trim, but it moves more with humidity and needs a well maintained finish to survive an exposed elevation.

Hardwood

The largest group in our external range at 39 lines, starting at £101.54 for lipped blanks. Hardwood is denser, holds fixings better, holds a paint or stain finish longer and is the sensible default for a front door that faces weather.

Oak

20 lines, topping out at £1,110. Oak is the premium timber option and it looks it. It also needs periodic refinishing, and it is heavy enough to need hinges specified for the weight. Our oak versus walnut comparison and our piece on whether oak doors are worth it look at the value question honestly.

Composite

17 lines in the external collection, supplied as complete sets from £725.00. Composite trades the ability to refinish for the freedom from ever having to.

Fire rated blanks

Our hardwood lipped and unlipped FD30 blanks at £101.54 and £139.62 exist for openings with fire requirements. Confirm what your specific opening needs before ordering.

What we do not sell

We do not stock uPVC or aluminium front doors, so you will not find a price for them here. That is not a judgement on them, it is simply outside what we supply and outside what we can verify.

Matching material inside and out

If your front door is oak, the hall doors behind it do not have to be, but the transition should look deliberate. Our over 290 internal oak doors from £87.75, over 80 white primed doors from £30.84 and over 110 black internal doors from £77.50 give you the range to plan that properly. Our white versus oak guide and best white internal doors cover the internal decision.

Weight and the hinges it needs

Heavier materials need hinges rated for them and a frame fixed properly into masonry. This is where a cheap installation shows itself within a year.

Sound

Solid timber and composite both cut road noise noticeably compared to a lightweight or poorly sealed door. Most of the benefit comes from the seal rather than the leaf, which is why fitting quality matters as much as material.

How the choice interacts with colour

Timber can be repainted whenever you change your mind. A composite set cannot. If you like changing your front door colour, that alone may decide it. Our colour ideas guide covers the popular choices.

How the choice interacts with the period of the house

Older properties usually suit timber and traditional panel patterns. Newer properties carry composite well. Our overviews of popular door styles and current door trends are useful for reading the house before choosing.

Budget realism by material

If your total budget is at the lower end, timber is the only route in our range that reaches it. If it is comfortable and you never want to paint again, composite is the straightforward answer. Our budget doors guide applies the same thinking to the rest of the house.

Where People Overspend and Where They Save

Overspending on the leaf and underspending on the frame

An expensive door in a rotten frame will not perform. Fix the frame first.

Underspending on locks

The cheapest part of a front door to upgrade and the most consequential. This is not the place to save.

Buying unfinished and not finishing it promptly

An unsealed external leaf left through a wet fortnight is a warranty problem you created yourself.

Replacing a sound door because it is draughty

Draughtproofing an existing sound door costs a fraction of replacing it.

Ordering a non standard size unnecessarily

Check our stocked sizes first. Bespoke costs more and takes longer.

Paying twice for delivery

Door, frame and ironmongery in one order rather than three afterthoughts.

Genuine savings: like for like

If the frame is sound and the size is standard, a like for like leaf replacement is the cheapest route to a new front door.

Genuine savings: doing your own decorating

Painting is slow but not skilled in the way fitting is.

Genuine savings: buying the whole project together

If you are replacing internal doors at the same time, our over 710 internal doors from £30.84, over 20 clearance doors from £53.00 and over 350 fully finished internal doors from £75.00 mean one delivery instead of several. Our internal door fitting costs guide covers that side.

Your Front Door Buying Checklist

Measure the structural opening

Three widths, three heights, both diagonals, and note the smallest of each.

Inspect the frame properly

Probe the foot of both jambs and the cill. Rot there decides your whole budget.

Confirm handing and swing

Which side the hinges sit and which way it opens, recorded consistently.

Decide timber or composite early

It changes the sizing approach, the maintenance and the price structure.

Check the size against our stocked list

Standard is cheaper and faster than bespoke every time.

Specify the locks before the looks

Check your insurance requirements first, then choose finishes.

Check consents

Listed building, conservation area, leasehold or covenant restrictions before ordering.

Plan the finishing

Know who is sealing or painting it and when, before it is delivered.

Get three itemised quotes

Same product, same hardware, same scope for making good.

Hold a contingency

Something behind the frame will be worse than it looked.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a front door cost in the UK?

In our current range, external timber leaves run from £86.79 to £1,110 and composite door and frame sets from £725.00 to £895.00. Fitting is quoted locally against your actual opening.

Why will you not give a fitting price?

Because we supply doors rather than employ fitters. Any labour figure we published would be a guess, and a guess presented as guidance would anchor your budget to something untrue.

Is a composite door better than timber?

It depends on the house. Composite needs no repainting and comes as a sealed set. Timber can be refinished, resized slightly and matched to a period property.

Why do composite doors look more expensive?

Because the price includes the frame. You are comparing a complete set to a bare timber leaf.

What is the cheapest front door you sell?

The LPD Ledged and Braced Redwood external door at £86.79, though its boarded construction suits side and back entrances more than a formal front elevation.

Do I need a new frame?

Only if the existing one is unsound, out of square, rotten at the foot or the wrong size. Check before you assume.

What does an external frame cost?

Our LPD External Hardwood Door Frame and Cill is currently £109.15.

What sizes do external doors come in?

Our timber range covers 1981mm heights in five widths and 2040mm heights in five widths, plus several other sizes. Composite sets come at fixed dimensions.

Can I trim an external door to fit?

Only within the manufacturer allowance, and never into a lipping or a core. Cutting too far exposes the door to water.

Should I choose a glazed front door?

If the hall is dark, glazing transforms it. Discuss the glass specification with your fitter and your insurer.

Do oak front doors need a lot of maintenance?

They need periodic refinishing, particularly on exposed elevations. That is the trade for how they look.

What is the most secure front door?

Security comes from the whole assembly rather than the leaf alone. Frame, fixings, hinges, locks and glazing all matter. Take advice specific to your property.

Will a new front door cut my heating bills?

It will reduce draughts, which is felt immediately. We will not attach a saving figure to it because that depends on your house, your heating and your tariff.

Can I fit a front door myself?

A like for like leaf into a sound, square frame with the same hardware positions is achievable. Frame replacement, cills and multipoint locking are not weekend jobs.

How long does a front door replacement take?

It depends entirely on whether the frame is being replaced and what is found behind it. That is why quotes should be itemised.

What colour should my front door be?

Something that suits the elevation and, if you are in a conservation area, something permitted. Our colour ideas guide works through it.

Do I need permission to change my front door?

Sometimes. Listed buildings, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and leasehold terms can all apply. Ask your local planning authority or freeholder first.

What about the door between the garage and the house?

That opening often has specific fire requirements. Confirm with your local building control body before ordering anything.

Are stable doors practical as a front door?

They work well on cottages and rear entrances. Our stable doors guide covers the detail.

Where should I start?

With the frame, not the catalogue. Its condition decides your budget more than any other single factor.

Buying Your Front Door From Doors2Floors

We have supplied doors and flooring to homes and businesses across the UK. Our external doors range currently holds 96 lines from £86.79, including 39 hardwood, 20 oak and 54 glazed options, alongside 18 composite external door sets from £725.00 and over 30 glazed external doors from £274.81. Every figure on this page is live catalogue pricing rather than an estimate.

If you are working through the rest of the house at the same time, our full advice centre covers measuring, fitting, finishing and aftercare, and our guides to choosing the right door, door materials, bifold door costs, french doors and traditional versus modern styles will help you specify the rest.

Prices and product counts are correct at the time of writing and are subject to change. Manufacturer fitting and finishing instructions always take precedence over general guidance. Regulatory requirements vary by building, use and location. Confirm your specific obligations with your local building control body, a competent fire risk assessor, your local planning authority or a suitably qualified professional before ordering or carrying out work.
