Oakdale (NP12) · Caerphilly County Borough · Free quote in 24 hours · 10-year guarantee · We beat any like-for-like quote
Homeowners in Oakdale (NP12) routinely come to us when their existing Solidor composite front doors are past their service life and need replacing with something modern. Surveying in Oakdale starts with the elevation, not the order book. Oakdale is a hilltop village above Blackwood with a business park and residential estates. Many homes here were built in the mid-20th century and benefit from modern window upgrades. On a composite door swap here we typically specify 48mm solid timber-core Solidor leafs with anti-snap Avantis multi-point locking, which vastly stronger and warmer than the tired uPVC and timber doors common on the older stock here. Secured by Design accredited, PAS24 tested, available in 19 standard colours and woodgrain finishes. Survey diaries for Blackwood and Crumlin share the same vehicle, which keeps our pricing competitive on this postcode. FENSA-registered installer, fully insured to £5m, with every cylinder we fit carrying Sold Secure approval. Fitted by employed installers — never subcontractors — and covered by a 10-year hardware guarantee.
Composite doors combine a solid 48mm timber core with a durable GRP (fibreglass) skin to create the strongest, most secure and most attractive front door available in the UK. Unlike uPVC, a quality composite door won't warp, crack, fade or sag for 30+ years — and unlike solid timber, it never needs sanding or repainting. We supply and fit the full Solidor, Endurance and Hurst ranges across Cardiff, Newport, Caerphilly, Bristol and the wider South Wales region, with a 10-year manufacturer guarantee on every door and a beat-any-like-for-like-quote promise on price. Most installations complete in a single day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do composite doors cost in South Wales?
Most composite front doors in South Wales fall between £1,195 and £2,400 fitted, depending on brand (Solidor, Endurance, Hurst), colour, glazing and hardware. Side panels and stable upgrades add £250-£600. We give a fixed-price written quote within 24 hours of survey.
How long do composite doors last?
A quality composite door from Solidor, Endurance or Hurst will last 30+ years with minimal maintenance — significantly longer than uPVC (15-20 years) or timber (8-12 years between repaints).
Are composite doors better than uPVC?
Yes — composite doors are stronger (solid 48mm core vs hollow uPVC), more secure (PAS 24 as standard), better insulated (U-value 1.0 vs 1.4), more colour-stable, and last roughly twice as long. The trade-off is price: composite is typically £400-£800 more than equivalent uPVC.
Are composite doors secure?
Composite doors are the most secure domestic front door available. Standard spec includes a Yale anti-snap, anti-pick, anti-bump 3-star cylinder, multi-point hook lock, reinforced hinges and a 48mm solid timber core. All our doors meet PAS 24:2022 — the police-preferred Secured by Design standard.
Can I match my composite door to existing windows?
Yes. Solidor and Endurance offer 20+ standard colours plus full RAL custom matching, so we can pair your new door to anthracite grey windows, Chartwell green frames or any custom finish.
Do you fit composite doors in conservation areas?
