How much do front doors cost?

When calculating door price, the variety of aspects under scrutiny is particularly broad. Able to notably boost property prices, secure doors are in high demand by prospective homebuyers too.

Be sure to consider the following points:

Front Doors

Door style

The SEHBAC door range offers fantastic front and rear doors, refined French doors, transforming bifold doors, space-saving sliding patio doors and breath-taking heritage doors.

Quality of service

No end of ‘special discounts’ can make up for enduring door products that cost that little bit more. False economy is a homeowner’s worst nightmare, after all, you want a front door that will last into the foreseeable future (like ours!), instead of forking out for another one shortly after thanks to poor quality.

Number of doors

The number of doors your south-east home needs will, of course, affect the overall price of new doors; the more you order, the more savings you can achieve.

Door material

Diversity makes life interesting, which is why our range of doors extend to all-purpose uPVC, robust composite, authentic and contemporary aluminium door systems.

Average front door prices

Why do some door companies show prices on their website? At the end of the day, it all boils down to standards. Thermally sound, custom-made doors must be individually priced, whereas average-sized doors with basic accessories and low-security standards tend to have set prices.

So, further points to consider include:

Glazing

Doors from SEHBAC can be enhanced further with high-quality double glazing, to effectively reduce energy bills, as well as noise.

Glass

Doors leading to bathrooms, bedrooms, balconies or other areas that require extra privacy may need to consider other types of glass such as obscure, decorative or laminated glass.

Colour / Finish

Choose between standard, woodgrain, premium and even dual colour options.

Hardware / Furniture

Choose between standard, premium, original or modern handles, knockers, letter plates, locks and hinges.

Conservation / Listed building considerations

Having to obtain planning permission can affect door prices too.

Composite door prices

Composites continue to be the ‘door of the moment,’ with more and more homeowners upgrading their tired uPVC doors for charming composite doors. Generally more cost-effective than authentic timber doors, composite doors are built to make a long-lasting statement whilst delivering impressive thermal, acoustic and defensive qualities.

Taking into consideration the type of finish and extras, your bespoke composite door requires also allows the price to vary.

Do I need planning permission for new doors?

In the UK, you generally don't need planning permission to replace existing doors as long as the new doors are similar in appearance to the originals. However, if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or you plan to make structural changes, you may need permission. It's always wise to check with your local planning authority to be sure.

How do you know if you need a new door?

You may need a new door if it’s difficult to open or close, if you feel draughts or notice cold spots around it, or if you see visible damage like cracks, rust, or peeling paint. Increased noise from outside, condensation between glass panes, and rising energy bills can also indicate that your door is no longer performing well. Additionally, if your door feels insecure or looks outdated, replacing it could enhance both your home's security and its appearance.

What is A rated double glazing?

Energy efficient home improvements are incredibly important, so if you're wondering how to tell what A rated glazing is you're not alone! "A-rated" double glazing refers to windows that have been assessed and certified for high energy efficiency, with the "A" rating signifying one of the best levels of performance. This rating is part of the Window Energy Rating (WER) scheme, which evaluates windows based on their ability to insulate against heat loss (indicated by a low U-value), their effectiveness in allowing solar energy to enter and warm the interior (shown by a high G-value), and their capacity to prevent draughts (measured by air leakage). Windows with an A rating are extremely energy-efficient, helping to reduce heating costs by retaining warmth during colder months and lessening the need for air conditioning in warmer periods. Additionally, these windows contribute to lowering carbon footprints and improving the overall comfort of a home by maintaining a more consistent indoor temperature.

Which door lasts the longest?

Doors are frequently used throughout the day, so it’s important to purchase one that will stand the test of time. Depending on your budget and lifestyle, an authentic timber door can last a lifetime, followed by technologically advanced composite and aluminium doors. Although a well looked after uPVC door can also last a respectable amount of time. Read more

Which are the best doors for homes by the beach?

For homes by the beach, the best doors are those made from durable, weather-resistant materials like fibreglass or uPVC, as they can withstand saltwater, humidity, and strong winds. These materials resist warping, rust, and corrosion, making them ideal for coastal environments. Additionally, consider doors with reinforced glass for added security and insulation against the elements.
