read on to discover why...
Trusted Nationwide Installation Partners
Many moons ago, we recognised the need for a quality installation service. Customers online were having a hard time sourcing their own tradesmen... not only is it a hassle to find good people, they often aren’t trained with the product and don’t want to know if there any issues down the line.
The other option is of course using local double glazing companies, but the feedback we have got consistently over the years is many of them charge a premium price.
In 2010 we partnered with Martindales, one of the UK’s leading installation companies. Working primarily in the insurance sector, they are the leading installer in that industry with clients such as Norwich Union, AXA and many more.
Our exclusive partnership with Martindales means we can offer a complete nationwide installation service, from the beaches of Cornwall to the hills of Scotland! We’ve developed a strong partnership over the years, integrating our IT systems to bring a seamless customer experience.
We firmly believe that no other online business can offer a survey and installation service that is as polished and reliable as ours.
In the last 13 years we’ve carried out installations in tens of thousands of homes.
Your installation will include...

Our installers are directly employed which means they are held to a high standard for all workmanship. Avoid companies who sub-contract as they do not have full control of the quality of workmanship.

Through our network of 18 installation branches, we can offer installation throughout most of the UK and Northern Ireland.
Currently, we cannot offer installation in certain Scottish postcodes unfortunately. If you live in Scotland, please check with us prior to placing your order.
Yes, our installers are certified members of the Assure Competent Person Scheme. This is peace of mind for homeowners as you can be assured the installation will comply with building regulations.
No, as this certificate is only legally required if the items installed are over 50% glass area. Therefore, none of our door range require this certification.
We can install anywhere in the UK excluding a handful of areas; these include PA/KA/PH/DG/AB/IV, some more remote areas of SA/LL/SY and the Isle of Wight.
The average lead time from order to installation date is 5-6 weeks. We can typically survey within 2-5 days, and the manufacture time of the door is 15 working days.
We ask that customers are present when the surveyor attends for the home survey, as we may need to agree important details regarding floor levels, opening sides etc. We will also need access to the inside of the house.
Every installation is different, and a single door usually takes between 2-4 hours. Installations in older properties may take longer, and we always allow half a day for any install.
You will either be given a morning slot or an afternoon slot when we call to arrange installation. A morning slot means the fitters will arrive between 08.00-13.00. For afternoon slots the fitters will arrive between 13.00-17.00.
These time slots allow for traffic and also over-running on other jobs – unfortunately we are unable to provide specific times on the day.
We may be able to offer Saturday installations in certain postcodes, however please note you may need to wait a little longer as we have limited teams available on weekends.
Yes - we will take it away and recycle it. If you want to keep your existing door we must be told prior to the installation date so that we can make the fitting team aware
Our guarantees do not cover any electric work, and this would need to be done by an alarm engineer. However, if we are just required to relocate wires we can usually carry this out as a goodwill gesture.
Yes – inevitable damage is common when removing an old door (especially on older properties) and we will make good any damage to render, plaster or brickwork up to a 2 inch radius. Please note making good means that we will patch up any damaged areas but this does not include painting. Full details of what is included is detailed in our terms and conditions.
The main benefit is that this guarantee covers you for the 10 year duration, even if Aluminium Composite Doors (GFD Trading LTD) were to cease trading. This is peace of mind for many of our customers and acts as another layer of protection, in the unlikely event you encounter an issue with your products in years to come.
The price you are quoted for the items selected will never change. However, there are some additional costs that can sometimes be incurred after the home survey. This is because sometimes there are additional works that are required that we will not be aware of until we have visited your property. Some examples of this can include:
Any additional costs such as these will be discussed with you after your survey, and unless they are essential to the job being carried out, are at your discretion
The Aluminium Composite Door is a brand new product that is the evolution of composite doors. The door is guaranteed to never bow or warp, comes in unlimited colour choices and has a premium, textured paint finish that is guaranteed to last for over 25 years.
