Composite Doors
in York

York’s architecture is wonderfully varied. From elegant Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces in Clifton, Heworth and the South Bank, to Edwardian semis in post‑war suburbs around Acomb and Tang Hall, and modern riverside apartments close to the city walls. In the surrounding villages including Haxby, Copmanthorpe and Bishopthorpe, you’ll also find cottage‑style homes and contemporary family properties.

Historically, door material choices have reflected these settings: timber for heritage character, uPVC for affordability in suburban estates, and aluminium for a clean, contemporary look.

Today, composite doors have become the preferred choice across York because they combine the classic appearance of timber with superior insulation, durability and minimal maintenance, all ideal for everything from conservation‑area homes to new‑builds.

Every Solidor composite door features a robust solid timber core, high‑performance sealing and advanced security options to handle year‑round weather variations, including colder winters and river‑breeze exposure. With a broad palette of colours, glazing designs and hardware, you can tailor your entrance to suit period properties or modern schemes alike.

Finding your style is easy with our Door Designer, where you can explore colours, glass designs and hardware before choosing your final design and speaking to one of our approved local installers. Our installers are experienced across York and North Yorkshire, ensuring a smooth process from survey to installation.

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 York’s traditional terraces and modern apartments.

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 York, 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 York neighbourhoods, the average cost usually falls between £1,500 and £2,500.
