Why this suits City of Edinburgh
A composite door does not warp like timber or go chalky like early uPVC, which is why it is the default replacement front door across City of Edinburgh.
Georgian New Town and Victorian tenements, plus interwar and modern stock. Exposed east-coast conditions with strong winds. The failure that tends to come first is Rot in original sash boxes and heat loss through single glazing — worth knowing before you decide between repairing what you have and replacing it.
World Heritage and conservation control is exceptionally strict — heritage profiles are usually the only route. Order to the structural opening, measured in three places, smallest figure wins. How to measure properly.

Composite doors in City of Edinburgh — questions
Do you deliver to City of Edinburgh?
Yes. City of Edinburgh is 308 road miles from our Birmingham unit, which puts it in Zone E: 3–5 working days once made. Everything is made to your sizes before it goes on the vehicle.
Can I collect instead of paying for delivery?
Most people take delivery. Collection is from Unit 1 Hems Crescent, Great Barr, Birmingham B43 5DG. Bring something big enough — a full door set does not go in a hatchback.
Who notifies building control on a supply-only order in City of Edinburgh?
You do. Replacement windows and external doors are notifiable work, and with no registered installer involved there is no FENSA or CERTASS self-certification. If we install, we certify.
Which postcodes does that cover?
City of Edinburgh covers EH1, EH10, EH11, EH12, EH13, EH14, EH15, EH16, EH17, EH2, EH28, EH29, EH3, EH30 and 6 more. Anything outside that list is still delivered — it just prices differently.
Is there a minimum order for City of Edinburgh?
No minimum on the product. Delivery is priced by area and size of load, so a single unit to City of Edinburgh carries a delivery charge that a full house of windows effectively absorbs.
