Thank you so much for installing my new doors without any fuss. Our old doors were worn and faded, we went for new uPVC doors and we are so glad that we did. We are really happy with the service from Swish.

UPVC Doors Hexham - Durability and Value
UPVC doors remain one of the most popular choices for Hexham homeowners, and it’s easy to understand why. These doors offer exceptional value for money while delivering outstanding performance in terms of security, weather resistance, and thermal efficiency. Our UPVC doors are manufactured using the latest extrusion technology and high-quality materials that ensure they’ll look great and perform reliably for decades to come.
The benefits of choosing UPVC doors for your Hexham home extend far beyond their attractive price point. These doors require minimal maintenance – a simple wipe down with soapy water is usually all that’s needed to keep them looking pristine. Unlike traditional timber doors, UPVC won’t warp, rot, or require regular painting, making them an ideal choice for busy households. Our UPVC doors are also highly energy efficient, featuring multi-chambered profiles and advanced glazing options that help reduce heating costs throughout Hexham’s sometimes harsh winters.
We offer an extensive range of UPVC door styles to complement any property type found throughout Hexham, from traditional Victorian terraces to modern developments. Our selection includes classic panel designs, contemporary flush styles, and decorative options with glass inserts that add character while maintaining security. Each door can be customised with your choice of hardware, colours, and glazing options to create a unique entrance that reflects your personal style.

Composite Doors Hexham - Premium Style and Security
For homeowners seeking the ultimate combination of style, security, and performance, our composite doors represent the pinnacle of modern door technology. These doors feature a solid timber core surrounded by high-density foam and finished with a durable GRP skin that replicates the appearance of traditional timber while offering superior performance characteristics. The result is a door that looks authentically beautiful while providing exceptional security and thermal efficiency.
Our composite doors are particularly popular with Hexham homeowners who want the classic appearance of a wooden door without the associated maintenance requirements. The advanced manufacturing process creates a door that won’t warp, crack, or fade, even when exposed to Northumberland’s variable weather conditions. The solid construction provides excellent insulation properties, helping to reduce energy costs while maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures throughout the year.
Security is paramount with our composite doors, which feature multi-point locking systems, reinforced frames, and impact-resistant construction that provides outstanding protection for your family and belongings. The solid core construction makes these doors virtually impossible to kick in, while the advanced locking mechanisms resist picking and drilling attempts. Many of our composite doors achieve Secured by Design accreditation, giving you peace of mind that your home meets police-approved security standards.
Professional Door Installation Services
At Swish Home Improvements, we believe that even the highest quality door can only perform as well as its installation. That’s why we employ only experienced, qualified installers who take pride in their craftsmanship and attention to detail. Our installation teams are fully trained in the latest fitting techniques and use professional-grade tools and materials to ensure every door is installed to the highest standards.
Our installation process begins with a thorough survey of your existing doorway to identify any potential issues and ensure perfect fit and operation. We understand that every property in Hexham is unique, and older buildings in particular may require specialist knowledge to achieve optimal results. Our surveyors will assess the structural integrity of your door frame, check for square and level conditions, and recommend any preparatory work needed before installation.
We take great care to minimise disruption during installation, working efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards. Our teams arrive fully equipped with dust sheets, vacuum cleaners, and all necessary tools to complete the job with minimal mess. We’ll also dispose of your old door responsibly, ensuring your property is left clean and tidy. Every installation includes a comprehensive handover where we’ll demonstrate the operation of your new door and explain any maintenance requirements.
Modern doors play a crucial role in your home’s overall energy efficiency, and this is particularly important in Hexham where heating costs can be significant during the colder months. Both our UPVC and composite doors are designed to exceed current building regulations for thermal performance, helping to reduce heat loss and lower your energy bills. The advanced glazing systems we use incorporate low-emissivity coatings and argon gas fills that significantly improve insulation properties.

Our door frames feature multi-chambered designs that create thermal barriers, preventing cold air from entering and warm air from escaping. This design approach, combined with high-quality weatherstripping and precision manufacturing, ensures minimal air leakage around the door perimeter. The result is a noticeable improvement in comfort levels and a reduction in heating costs that can help offset the initial investment in your new door.
We can provide detailed thermal performance data for all our door products, helping you make an informed decision based on your specific requirements and budget. Our energy-efficient doors may also help improve your property’s Energy Performance Certificate rating, which can be beneficial if you’re planning to sell your home in the future. The combination of reduced energy costs and potential property value improvement makes investing in a high-quality, energy-efficient door a smart financial decision.
Home security is a primary concern for many Hexham residents, and our doors are designed to provide maximum protection against unwanted intrusion. All our doors feature multi-point locking systems as standard, with hooks, bolts, and keeps that engage at multiple points along the door frame when locked. This distributed locking approach makes it virtually impossible for intruders to force entry by applying pressure to a single point.

Our composite doors offer the highest level of security, with solid timber cores that resist impact and forced entry attempts. The door frames are reinforced with steel or aluminum inserts that provide additional strength, while the hinges are designed to prevent removal from the outside. We also offer upgraded cylinder locks with anti-snap, anti-pick, and anti-drill features that meet the latest British Standard requirements for high-security applications.
For additional peace of mind, many of our doors can be fitted with integrated spy holes, door chains, and even smart lock systems that allow remote monitoring and control via smartphone apps. We’ll work with you to identify the security features that best meet your specific needs and concerns. Our doors are tested to rigorous standards and many achieve insurance-approved ratings that may help reduce your home insurance premiums.
We understand that every home in Hexham has its own character, and our extensive range of door styles ensures you’ll find the perfect match for your property’s architecture and your personal taste. Our traditional panel doors complement period properties beautifully, while our contemporary flush designs suit modern homes and extensions. We also offer glazed options that incorporate decorative glass panels to add character and allow natural light into your hallway.

Our colour palette includes classic options like white, cream, and black, as well as realistic wood-grain finishes that replicate the appearance of oak, mahogany, and other popular timber species. Modern grey tones have become increasingly popular and work particularly well with contemporary architectural styles. All our finishes are designed to maintain their appearance for many years, with fade-resistant formulations that stand up to UV exposure and weather extremes.
Hardware selection allows further customisation, with choices ranging from traditional brass and chrome options to contemporary black and brushed steel finishes. Door handles, letterboxes, and decorative elements can all be coordinated to create a cohesive appearance that enhances your home’s kerb appeal. We’ll provide samples and examples to help you visualise different combinations and make the best choice for your property.
