What to check before hiring a uPVC fitter

Before hiring a local uPVC door fitter, there are several things you can check to iron out whether they are the best fit for the job. Some of the key questions to ask include:

Can anyone fit a uPVC door?

Technically, a uPVC door can be installed by anyone. However, we always recommend uPVC doors be fitted by a qualified installer. This will ensure precision with proper alignment, insulation, and security, protecting against draughts and security issues.

Ask the fitters about their experience with uPVC door installation and read online reviews of their previous work.

This way, you can gauge what other customers have to say about the standard of their work and overall professionalism.

We check the reviews on Checkatrade are from real people, and that trades meet our high standards.

Accreditations to look out for

Check whether the uPVC door installer is registered with FENSA, as this will mean their work complies with building regulations and that you have the necessary certification when you come to sell your property.

A certification from the Windows, Doors, and Conservatories Group is also a good sign.

How long does it take to fit a new uPVC door?

A high-quality uPVC door fitter will be able to give you a good indication of how long they expect the work to take, based on their experience.

The installation timeframe will vary depending on the scope of the job. For example, whether any structural adjustments are needed. However, it's fairly typical for uPVC door installation to take between 2 to 4 hours.

Can you just replace a uPVC door?

A quality installer will be able to assess the condition of your existing door frame and its compatibility with your new uPVC door.

In some cases, it is possible to just replace the uPVC door, but replacing both the frame and door together is preferred for the best fit and insulation.

How much does it cost to have a new uPVC door fitted?

The cost of uPVC door installation normally sits between £400 - £1,000 per door (including glazing and architraves).

However, if you're looking for the cost to install uPVC French doors, budget for around £2,000per pair.

We always recommend getting a selection of quotes from uPVC door installers near you to ensure you get a fair and competitive price for the job.

What is the life expectancy of a uPVC door?

A uPVC door that's properly installed and well-looked after has the potential to last up to 35 years or more, so it's important to check your installer's credentials.

When hiring a uPVC door installer near you, ask what insurance they hold. This will help to protect you during the installation process.

Also check what guarantees they offer on their work.
