About the service

Your front door is the single most-photographed element of your home — and the first impression visitors get. It's also a critical security and thermal element.

All come with Secured by Design certification options.

Working in St Albans

St Albans' Roman, medieval and Georgian heritage in AL1-AL4 means conservation-led glazing dominates our local work. Listed-building consents for properties around the cathedral, heritage timber sash restoration, and slim-profile heritage double glazing across the conservation areas keep our heritage team busy.

For doors and glass extensions in St Albans, residential property style typically drives the design brief across East — whether that's contemporary aluminium bifolds spanning a garden-facing rear elevation, slim-frame sliding doors that maximise glass area on a modern extension, or heritage French doors fitted to a period façade. Most commonly we're working across AL1 and AL4 postcodes. Typical lead time from survey to install: 4-6 weeks for standard configurations, 8-10 weeks for bespoke or large-span builds.
