Draughty door? It’s costing you more than comfort.
With energy bills still biting and Cornwall’s coastal weather putting extra strain on older doors, 2026 has seen a sharp rise in homeowners replacing tired, draughty front doors. A uPVC door is the most popular fix — affordable, low-maintenance, and far more secure than older models, with multi-point locking as standard.
Example: A standard uPVC front door replacement for a typical St Austell semi usually falls in the lower-to-mid hundreds through to around £1,000 fully fitted. Want something more durable for an exposed coastal spot? A composite door costs more upfront but resists warping better long-term — your installer should explain the trade-off, not just upsell.
