What Affects Front Door Prices in 2025?

Here’s what drives the cost of a new front door and installation in 2025, including any extras such as surveys, warranties and insurance backed guarantees:

When considering the door fitting cost, it’s important to hire qualified fitters to ensure proper installation and maintain warranty coverage.

Material

uPVC: Starts at £360, still the cheapest option.
Composite: From £675, perfect for durability and style.
Timber door: £610+ for a timeless look, but needs more upkeep.

Timber doors, particularly hardwood options, can be more expensive but offer better adaptability for fitting due to their ability to be trimmed for a precise fit.

Size

Standard doors sizes such as 1980mm x 760mm are affordable; larger ones (up to 3000mm x 1000mm) raise the new door cost.

Additionally, when considering door replacement, it’s important to assess the condition of the door frame to ensure a proper fit and maintain the overall strength and integrity of the installation.

Design

Basic designs save money; extras like glazing or custom colours add £55-£525.

Installation

Simple fits cost £525; complex jobs with door frames changes hit £2,100.

Additionally, door furniture, including essential components like letterboxes and hinges, plays a crucial role in both the aesthetics and functionality of the door.

Location

Urban areas like London charge more than rural spots.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to install a new front door?

Installing a new front door usually takes 2 to 6 hours, depending on the complexity. A straightforward uPVC front door swap might be quicker, while a composite door with frame adjustments or side panels could take longer. At Green Central, our installers nationwide can give you a timeline with your free quote!

Do I need planning permission to replace my front door?

In most cases, no. Replacing a front door is considered a “permitted development” in the UK, so you don’t need permission. However, if you live in a listed building or conservation area, check with your local council.

Can I install a new front door myself to save money?

Yes, but it’s not recommended unless you’re experienced. DIY can cut the front door installation cost, but mistakes could lead to poor fitting, drafts, or security issues.

What’s the best time of year to buy a new front door?

Late winter or early spring (like now, March 2025) is ideal. Installers often have lower demand then, which can mean better deals on uPVC or composite doors. Summer and autumn are busier, potentially raising costs.

Are there financing options for a new front door?

Yes, many suppliers offer payment plans for replacement front doors. In 2025, expect 0% interest deals or monthly payments starting at £30-£50, depending on the cost. Ask about financing when you get your free quote from Green Central—we work with trusted UK installers.

How do I measure my front door for replacement?

Measure the height and width of the existing door frame in millimeters (e.g., 1980mm x 760mm is standard). Include the frame, not just the door itself. For accuracy, measure twice! Unsure? Green Central installers can measure for you when you request a free quote nationwide.

What warranties come with a new front door?

Most uPVC front doors come with 10-20 year warranties, while composite doors often offer 25-35 years in 2025. Installation warranties typically last 1-10 years. Check details with your supplier. At Green Central, our nationwide partners provide clear warranty info with every quote.

Can a new front door increase my home’s resale value?

Yes! A stylish, secure replacement front door can boost your home’s value by 4-7%, especially with energy-efficient composite or uPVC doors. In 2025, that’s a potential £10,000+ increase on a £250,000 home. Get started with a free quote from Green Central anywhere in the UK!
