Door Installation Project – EH14, Edinburgh

Door Installation Project

The client had recently purchased the house and wished to replace the existing doors, which felt unstable and allowed cold air to seep through gaps between the frames. They asked us to address these issues within a very tight deadline, requiring both the door replacement and the installation of air stopper strips.

The scope of work included removing the old doors, preparing the existing frames for new installations, and fitting the new doors with hinges and locks. For this project, we have our own joiner to carry out the works, while the client themselves took responsibility for obtaining the necessary approvals.

One of the key challenges was that the property was fully occupied and in daily use, which meant we had to work in a considerate and safe manner without causing disruption or damage to the home. To overcome this, we carefully protected household essentials with covers, used floor protection to collect dust. Despite these restrictions, we managed the workflow efficiently and completed the installation within the agreed three-day timeframe.

In line with our company values, we also placed emphasis on sustainability and innovation. The new doors were chosen for their durability and long life, reducing the need for future replacements and minimising waste. The installation of air stopper strips contributed directly to energy efficiency by preventing heat loss and lowering heating demand. We made use of low-VOC and eco-friendly materials where possible and implemented a responsible waste-management approach by recycling offcuts. Our careful working methods also reflected considerate construction practices, ensuring minimal impact on the resident’s living environment while supporting the broader Net Zero 2050 goals.

The project was delivered exactly as promised, and the client was extremely pleased with the results. They specifically noted that the work was completed on time and to a high standard, praising our ability to meet deadlines while maintaining quality
