We recently completed the installation of a brand-new composite front door for a property in Motcombe, just outside Shaftesbury, Dorset. This project is a great example of how upgrading your entrance door can instantly improve both the appearance and security of your home.
The Customer’s Requirements
The homeowner in Motcombe was looking to replace an older, tired door with something that would:
- Improve security
- Reduce drafts and heat loss
- Complement the character of the property
- Provide a more modern, high-quality finish
Being located near Shaftesbury, where many properties range from traditional cottages to modern homes, it was important that the new door struck the right balance between style and performance.

We supplied and fitted a high-quality composite door in a unique soft blue finish, paired with a clean white frame for contrast.
The design features:
- A vertical panelled style for a classic appearance

The installation was carried out with careful attention to detail, ensuring:
- A tight, weatherproof seal
