Pay a visit to your local Eurocell branch, they supply one of the best composite doors on the market and will have a list of local installers.
There's also a door configurator on their website.

On various contracts Ive fitted literally hundreds of composite door sets ( including 3 tower blocks in Knowsley ) , varying degrees of quality out there but you shouldn't need to pay more than £750/£900 including fitting for a top quality door , frame & furniture .
Cheap ones start around £350 + fitting .
Don't pay top money for ones that are simply hinged as traditionally doors would be & use a standard 5 lever lock , the better ones have adjustment within the hinges along with 3 point locking & generally indicates the manufacturer isnt cutting corners .

We had our back door replaced with a Rock composite door about two years ago.Cost was about £1100 .
Insurance paid for this as it was to replace a pvc door when we had a break in.The intruders kicked the bottom panel in on the old door.
The Rock door is excellent quality .

Thanks guys some good advice there the only problem i can see is the front of the house has been built in random old stone all shapes and sizes and the upvc door that is fitted now has got capping strips on the sides and thick awful white silicone all over the stonework ....proper s**t job :thumbsdown:

Nothing like a nice hardwood door and frame, fitted by a craftsman. Adds a touch of luxury to any building.
