Composite Doors
in Derby

Derby offers a rich mix of architectural styles, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces in areas such as Normanton, Littleover and Alvaston, to 1930s semis in Allestree and Mickleover, modern estates across Oakwood and Chellaston, and beautifully restored period homes throughout the wider Derbyshire area.

Traditionally, homeowners in these areas have chosen different door materials to reflect their property styles, from timber for character homes, uPVC for suburban affordability, and aluminium for contemporary new‑builds.

However, composite doors have quickly become the preferred option across Derby thanks to their ability to combine the timeless look of timber, the low‑maintenance appeal of uPVC and the premium feel associated with aluminium.

Each Solidor composite door is designed with a solid timber core, exceptional insulating properties and advanced security features, all ideal for Derby’s varied climate and the demands of both exposed rural locations and busy residential streets.

With an extensive range of colours, glazing styles and hardware choices, you can tailor your new door to suit everything from period terraces and bay‑fronted semis to modern family homes and countryside properties.

You can explore styles using our Door Designer, allowing you to experiment with colours, glass and hardware before sharing your design with one of our approved local installers.

Each installer is experienced in fitting composite doors throughout Derby and the surrounding towns and villages, ensuring a smooth and professional installation experience from start to finish.

By choosing Solidor, you’re choosing a door that’s built to last, beautifully made, and tailored to the way you live.

Generally, the price of composite doors is higher than standard uPVC doors, but they compare favourably with solid timber and high‑end aluminium options often used across Derby’s traditional and modern homes.

With excellent insulating performance, impressive durability and minimal maintenance, a fully fitted composite door offers strong long‑term value, especially in a region where energy efficiency and year‑round weather resistance matter.

For composite doors in Derby, prices typically range from £1,000 to £3,000 for a new front door. When installation is included, and also accounting for property style and access across busy Derby neighbourhoods, the average cost usually falls between £1,500 and £2,500.
