Why this suits Kent
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 Kent.
Kentish ragstone and weatherboard vernacular, Victorian terraces, and heavy modern growth. Channel and estuary exposure, with real salt loading on both coasts. The failure that tends to come first is Salt corrosion at the coast and clay movement inland — worth knowing before you decide between repairing what you have and replacing it.
Long county — the Thanet coast is a materially longer run than the north-west. Order to the structural opening, measured in three places, smallest figure wins. How to measure properly.

Composite doors in Kent — questions
What if the delivery is damaged?
Check it on the vehicle and note anything on the paperwork before the driver leaves. Damage reported at that point is replaced; damage found a fortnight later is much harder to resolve.
How long does delivery to Kent take?
About a week from order for standard products in standard finishes, then 2–4 working days once made for the run to Kent. Special RAL colours and made-to-measure joinery take longer, and you get a firm date before you pay.
Do you install in Kent?
Installation is available and quoted as a separate line, so you can see exactly what the fitting costs against the product. The product still arrives on the supply-only lead time; the fitting date depends on the diary.
What size do I order to?
The structural opening — brick to brick, lintel to cill. Measure in three places and use the smallest figure. Do not take a fitting tolerance off yourself; that is done at our end.
What usually needs replacing in Kent?
Salt corrosion at the coast and clay movement inland. That is the pattern across most of the county, though an individual property can differ.
