Fairway has been quoting Endurance composite doors across Roath for over a decade, and the CF24 postcode is one we know inside out. Every spec we write reflects what Roath actually needs. Roath is one of Cardiff's most sought-after neighbourhoods, featuring beautiful Victorian and Edwardian homes around Roath Park Lake. Period-sympathetic replacement windows are in high demand here. On a Endurance door install here we typically specify Endurance 48mm solid laminated timber-core leafs with stainless-steel hardware, which the traditional 5-panel and stable-style designs suit period frontages without losing modern security. U-values from 0.9 W/m²K, anti-snap TS007 3-star cylinders, sash horns and traditional knockers all available. Crews covering Cathays and Penylan are the same team handling this postcode — one phone number, one accountable installer. Every install includes full Building Control or FENSA self-certification — no hidden paperwork costs added at the end. Spec on-site with physical colour samples; written quote within 48 hours.
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?
Yes — we regularly fit traditional Solidor and Endurance designs in conservation areas across Cardiff, Caerphilly and Bristol that satisfy planning officers. Bring us your local conditions and we'll spec accordingly.
How long does composite door installation take?
A typical front door swap takes 4-6 hours, comfortably within a single day. Our employed crew handles removal, fitting, sealing, hardware setup and clean-down in one visit.
What guarantee do you offer?
Every composite door we fit comes with the full 10-year manufacturer guarantee (covering frame, slab, hardware and colourfastness) plus our own workmanship guarantee on the installation.
Do you offer finance on composite doors?
Yes — we can introduce you to FCA-regulated finance options including 0% interest packages on qualifying installations. Ask at survey.
