Front and Rear Doors, Horsforth, Leeds

Our client approached us looking to replace both their front and rear doors, which had become worn, drafty, and insecure over time. The brief was to create traditionally styled wooden doors that would complement the period features of the property while offering modern benefits like enhanced security, insulation, and durability.

The goal was to ensure the new doors blended seamlessly with the character of the house, while improving functionality and adding curb appeal.

We worked closely with the client to understand their needs and preferences. Together, we selected a four-panel solid Victorian-style front door and a four-panel Victorian-style rear door, featuring glazed upper panels to allow light into the kitchen. Both doors were complemented with high-quality polished brass fittings, including a lever handle, letter plate, and a traditional round knocker for the front door. A multipoint locking system was integrated into both doors for maximum security without compromising on traditional looks.

During the detailed survey, we identified and addressed a few minor structural issues around the frames to ensure a perfect fit.

The installation was carried out efficiently, with care taken to minimise disruption and finish both internally and externally to a high standard.

“The doors feel solid, smooth to operate, and secure — a significant improvement over our old doors. Both doors have greatly improved our energy efficiency, there are no more drafts and leaks. I’m delighted with the work done.” – Olivia, Horsforth
