Composite Doors
in Test

Test’s housing reflects the town’s mix of historic neighbourhoods, suburban expansion and modern redevelopment. You’ll find Victorian and Edwardian terraces close to the town centre, 1930s bay‑fronted semis in areas such as Stopsley and Wigmore, post‑war family housing across Challney and Leagrave, and modern developments and apartments on the outskirts and toward Dunstable and Houghton Regis.

Nearby villages such as Caddington and Harpenden add period cottages, larger detached homes and newer estates, creating a wide regional variety of property styles.

Historically, door materials across Luton have varied. Timber for character and period homes, uPVC for affordability in suburban streets, and aluminium for sleek, contemporary properties.

Today, composite doors have become the preferred choice across Luton and Bedfordshire because they combine the traditional look of timber with superior insulation, strong security and minimal maintenance, making them ideal for busy households and a wide range of home styles.

Every Solidor composite door is built around a solid timber core, paired with advanced multi‑point locking and excellent thermal performance, well suited to Luton’s year‑round climate and busy residential areas.

With a broad selection of colours, glazing styles and hardware finishes, you can tailor your entrance to complement brick terraces, bay windows, rendered semis or modern façades.

Designing your new door is easy using our Door Designer, allowing you to explore colours, glazing and hardware before sharing your preferred design with one of our approved local installers. Installers operating across Luton and the wider Bedfordshire area ensure a smooth, professional installation from survey to completion.

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

While composite doors typically cost more than standard uPVC, they compare favourably with solid timber and high‑end aluminium options often specified for Luton’s period properties and modern homes.

With excellent insulating performance, impressive durability and minimal maintenance, a fully fitted composite door offers strong long‑term value, especially where energy efficiency and security matter.

For composite doors in Luton, 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 Luton neighbourhoods, the average cost usually falls between £1,500 and £2,500.
