Intro: Proof is better than promises
Anyone can claim quality. Very few can prove it.
This article isn’t about marketing statements or glossy brochures — it’s about real Solidor door installations in real UK homes. From period properties to new-build developments, the evidence comes directly from the doors we’ve installed and the homeowners living with them every day.
With over 100,000 genuine Solidor door installations completed since 2008, our experience spans every region of the UK. Each project tells the same story: exceptional durability, consistent performance, and design that still looks right years later.
What follows isn’t opinion — it’s proof.
1. Nationwide Reach, Local Expertise
We’re not a franchise.
We’re not a lead broker.
We’re the original Timber Composite Doors — the UK’s longest-running independent Solidor specialist.
That means:
- Every order is managed in-house from start to finish.
- Every installer is trained directly on Solidor’s latest specifications.
- Every door is factory-verified and traceable by serial number.
We cover the entire UK, from supply-only trade deliveries to full-service fitted projects — and we’ve done it consistently since 2008.
“When you buy from Timber Composite Doors, you’re buying direct from experience — not a call centre.”
2. Case Study #1 – The Ludlow Transformation (Harrogate)
Property: Victorian detached home
Door: Solidor Ludlow Painswick with chrome furniture
This was a classic example of modernising a heritage property without losing character. The old timber door was warped and draughty; the homeowners wanted something secure but elegant.
We fitted a Ludlow Solidor in Painswick with clear bevelled glass and chrome hardware. The transformation was instant — warmer, quieter, and completely in keeping with the home’s age and style.
It still looks as good now as the day it was fitted — solid, stylish, and reassuringly heavy.
– The Clarks, Harrogate
3. Case Study #2 – The Modern Statement (Manchester)
Property: New-build townhouse
Door: Solidor Harlech Anthracite Grey with stainless bar handle
A clean, minimalist look that fits modern architecture perfectly.
We installed this as part of a full house fit-out for a developer — 14 units in total — each door installed within a single week by our in-house fitting team.
We used Timber Composite Doors because they deliver on time and know Solidor inside out. It’s rare to find suppliers who understand both design and door installation at scale.
– Site Manager, Manchester Development Group
4. Case Study #3 – Coastal Challenge (Whitstable)
Property: Coastal cottage
Door: Solidor Tenby Chartwell Green with decorative glazing
Coastal homes face the ultimate test — salt air, constant moisture, and UV exposure. Foam-core doors typically warp or delaminate within a few years.
This Solidor? Still perfect after five.
The Chartwell Green finish remains flawless, with zero corrosion on hardware thanks to marine-grade fittings.
Our door takes a battering from the sea breeze but still looks brand new. It’s the best investment we’ve made.
– Mrs. F, Whitstable
5. Real Data: What 100,000 Installs Tell Us
We’ve been collecting performance, service, and customer feedback data since 2008.
Here’s what 17 years of results show:
| Metric | Result |
|---|---|
| Installations completed | 100,000+ |
| Average satisfaction rating | 98.9% |
| Doors still in daily use after 10 years | 95%+ |
| Repeat customers (second door purchase) | 22% |
| Warranty claims (any reason) | <1% |
Those aren’t marketing numbers — they’re drawn directly from service logs and verified survey data.
If we didn’t deliver, we wouldn’t still be the leading independent Solidor door installer in 2026.
6. What “Genuine Solidor” Actually Means
Every door we fit comes directly from Solidor’s factory in Stoke-on-Trent, complete with authenticity documentation and serial number tracking.
That means:
- No rebranded imports.
- No “Solidor-style” copies.
- No third-party glass or hardware swaps.
It’s the real thing, fitted by the team that’s been doing it longer than anyone else in the UK.
Buy cheap, buy twice. Buy Solidor once — through us — and it lasts.
7. From DIY to Designer Homes – One Product, Two Audiences
One of Solidor’s biggest strengths is flexibility.
We serve two types of buyers — both equally important:
- Homeowners choosing the fully fitted route (measured, installed, guaranteed).
- Trade & Developers using our Supply Only service for bulk orders or self-managed fits.
Both get genuine Solidors. Both get our expertise.
That’s what makes Timber Composite Doors unique — we don’t just sell; we enable.

9. Why People Keep Coming Back
We don’t rely on new customers — we rely on repeat ones.
And that only happens when people feel they got value beyond the door itself.
You can tell when a company knows their product inside out. From quote to install, they were professional, punctual, and precise.
– S. Reid, Leeds
I’ve fitted Solidors for years as a builder. I still buy them from Timber Composite Doors because they’re efficient, reliable, and always genuine.
– D. McNeil, Trade Installer, Birmingham
It’s not just the product — it’s the process.
That’s why we’ve remained the trusted national supplier for over 17 years.
Conclusion: Real installs. Real results. Real trust.
You don’t stay No.1 by shouting louder — you stay there by delivering better.
Every Solidor we fit is another example of quality proven in real British homes.
