Whether you need a replacement back door, a stylish entrance door or a wide opening onto your garden, our local team offers expert advice, quality products and professional fitting.

What Makes Aluminium a Smart Choice for Doors?

Aluminium is strong enough to hold large panes of glass in very slim frames. That’s why it’s the first choice for wide openings, modern extensions and any door where you want more glass and less frame.

Slim sightlines. Narrow frames let in more daylight and give clearer views of the garden.
Thermal performance. Modern frames are thermally broken, which means an insulating layer inside the profile stops heat passing straight through the metal. With double or triple glazing, the door keeps heat in properly.
Security. Multi-point locking secures the door at several points, and the frame itself is strong and hard to distort.
Durability. Aluminium doesn’t rot, warp or swell, and the powder-coated finish resists fading and corrosion.
Low maintenance. An occasional wipe with warm water and mild detergent is usually all it needs.
Made to measure. Every door is built to your opening, in a wide range of RAL colours, with the option of a different colour inside and out.

Aluminium vs uPVC and Composite Doors

Aluminium isn’t the right answer for every home, and we’ll tell you if something else suits you better.

Aluminium gives the slimmest frames and the most glass, which suits bifold doors, sliding doors and large openings. It costs more upfront than uPVC, but lasts a long time with very little upkeep.
uPVC is a budget-friendly choice, but the frames are thicker and the finish is less crisp.
Composite is popular for solid front doors, but it’s not suited to large glazed openings.

We fit all of these, so our advice is based on what your home needs, not what’s easiest to sell.

Our Aluminium Doors

Aluminium Bifold Doors

Fold back almost the whole wall and join your kitchen or living space to the garden. Aluminium bifold doors suit extensions and open-plan homes, and the slim frames mean the doors look good even when they’re closed.

Aluminium Sliding Patio Doors

Our aluminium sliding patio doors glide smoothly on a track, saving space and keeping your view wide open. Slim frames mean more glass, less bulk, perfect for wide openings where swinging doors won’t fit.

Aluminium French Doors

For a classic hinged look with much slimmer frames than timber or uPVC, aluminium French doors suit period and modern homes alike.

Aluminium Front Doors

Your front door sets the tone for the whole house. Our aluminium front doors combine strong security with a sharp, long-lasting finish, and you can choose solid or glazed designs.

Aluminium Back Doors

Practical, durable and easy to live with, aluminium back doors give you garden access that stays smooth and secure for years.

Commercial Aluminium Doors

Shops, offices, cafes, guesthouses and other commercial properties need doors that cope with heavy daily use. We supply and fit commercial aluminium doors with strong frames, secure locking and large glass areas for a bright, welcoming frontage. We’ll talk through your requirements at survey.

Aluminium Door Installation by Local Fitters

A good door only performs as well as it’s fitted. Our aluminium door installers handle every stage ourselves.

Free survey and measuring. We visit, check your opening and talk through styles, glazing, colours and hardware, with no pressure to buy.

Made-to-measure manufacture. Accurate sizing matters, because doors need to run, close and seal properly for years, not just on day one.

Careful fitting. We protect your home, remove the old door, fit and seal the new one, and check everything with you before we leave.

Certificate and guarantee. We register the work and you receive your FENSA certificate, which you’ll need when you sell, plus our 10-year guarantee.

Clear written quote. You’ll see the full cost before you decide.

Searching for aluminium door fitters near me, or aluminium doors near me? We’re based in Coulsdon and cover South London and Surrey, so we’re never far away.

Building Regulations and Certification

Replacement doors must meet Building Regulations, including Part L for thermal performance and Part Q for security on new and replacement doors. As a FENSA-registered installer, we can self-certify our work, so there’s no need for separate building control sign-off, and you receive a certificate on completion. If your home is in a conservation area or is listed, check with your local planning authority first. We can advise at your survey.

Aluminium Door Repairs and Replacement

Not every problem means a new door. If the frame is sound, a repair can save you a lot of money. Our aluminium door repairs include:

Lock repairs and replacement. Aluminium door lock repairs and aluminium door lock replacement for stiff, worn or broken locks, handles and cylinders, so your door closes and secures properly.

Glass replacement. Aluminium door glass replacement for misted double-glazed units or cracked panes, without changing the frame. We can use safety glass where it’s needed.

Rollers, tracks and hinges. Sliding doors that stick and hinged doors that drop can often be adjusted or have parts replaced.

Seals and draughts. New seals cut heat loss and stop whistling around the frame.

Commercial aluminium door repairs. Fast, practical repairs for business premises, where a faulty door can’t wait.

If the frame is badly damaged, or repair costs are close to the price of a new door, we’ll tell you plainly and talk you through replacement.

What Our Customers Says About Us

Aluminium Doors - FAQs

Are aluminium doors better than uPVC?

For most large or glazed openings, yes. Aluminium has slimmer frames, more glass, greater strength and a longer life than uPVC. uPVC costs less upfront, so it suits tighter budgets.

How much are aluminium bifold doors?

The price depends on the number of panels, the size of the opening, the glazing and the finish. Aluminium bifold doors cost more than uPVC ones. We give a free survey and a written quote for your exact opening.

How secure are aluminium doors?

Very secure. Aluminium is a strong frame material, and our doors use multi-point locking, which secures the door at several points. Laminated or toughened glass adds further protection.

Can aluminium doors be painted?

They’re usually powder-coated at the factory, so they don’t need painting. If you want a new colour, a specialist can re-spray the frames. Ordinary paint tends not to last, so it’s best to choose your RAL colour at order.

Are aluminium doors better than wood?

For durability and upkeep, yes. Aluminium doesn’t rot, warp or need repainting, and it allows slimmer frames. Timber offers a natural, traditional look but needs regular painting and care.

Are aluminium doors energy efficient?

Yes. Modern frames are thermally broken, and with double or triple glazing they keep heat in well and cut draughts.

How long does aluminium door installation take?

A single front, back or French door can often be fitted in a day. Bifold and sliding doors, or jobs involving building work, can take longer. Doors are made to measure, so allow a few weeks from survey to fitting.

Can you repair my existing aluminium doors?

Often, yes. Locks, handles, rollers, seals and failed glass units can usually be repaired or replaced without changing the whole door.

Do you supply commercial aluminium doors?

Yes. We supply, fit and repair commercial aluminium doors for shops, offices and hospitality buildings across South London and Surrey.
