uPVC Door replacement

LBP uPVC door replacement

We have the skills and experience to remove the old uPVC door and replace it with a new one. It’s important the door is fitted correctly, quality hinges and locks are used to preserve the life of the door and its sealing capability. Cheap uPVC doors can warp. If your door meets at the top and bottom of the frame but not in the middle, your door is most likely to be warped and will probably need replacing.

If you think your uPVC door is mis-aligned we can re-align it. UPVC common door problems are: they get loose and rattle over time, it could drag on the floor. There may be a draught or its difficult to open or shut?

door gap check

Look at the corners, do they look square and do they line up with the frame ? We check the top of the door with a spirit level. Check the gap all the way round between the door edge and the frame to see if its consistent.

We are able to adjust or replace the hinges so the door fits exactly as it should and may save money on heating bills.
