Secure Back Doors for Peace of Mind
Security is a key concern for families in areas like Weeke and Littleton. Our uPVC Back Doors are not an afterthought; they are built with the same reinforced frames and multi-point locking systems as our front entrances.
Whether you need access to a rear garden, a side return, or a utility room, we install doors that can be specified to rigorous PAS 24 standards, ensuring your home remains secure from every angle.
What Makes a Quality uPVC Door? (VEKA & Profile 22 Systems)
Not all uPVC doors are built to the same standard. Lower-grade doors can suffer from thermal bowing in direct sunlight, dropped sashes, and draughty seals. At KJM Group, we install industry-leading VEKA and Profile 22 (Optima) multi-chambered door systems engineered for long-term rigidity and weather resistance.
Standard Specification Features
- Reinforced Multi-Chambered Frames: VEKA and Profile 22 extrusions use internal insulating chambers and galvanised steel reinforcement for structural strength.
- Multi-Point Locking Mechanisms: High-security hook bolts and deadbolts engage at multiple points along the frame keep.
- Thermal Performance & Low-E Glazing: Toughened safety glass units filled with argon gas and warm-edge spacer bars to minimise heat loss.
- Dual Weather Seals: Co-extruded perimeter gaskets prevent cold draughts and driving rain from entering your hallway.
- 10-Year Guarantee & Aftercare: Backed by KJM Group's comprehensive warranty and GGFi Insurance Backed Guarantee protection.
Optional Upgrades & Customisation
- PAS 24 Security Accreditation: Upgraded laminated glass and security hardware tested against physical attack.
- 3-Star Anti-Snap Cylinders: TS007 3-star high-security lock cylinders engineered to resist snapping, picking, and drilling.
- Triple Glazing Options: Available for enhanced thermal insulation and acoustic noise reduction on busy Winchester roads.
- Low Aluminium Thresholds: Part M compliant low-level thresholds for smooth wheelchair and pushchair access.
- Dual-Colour & Woodgrain Foils: Choose from over 25 smooth and woodgrain finishes, such as Chartwell Green or Anthracite Grey outside with White inside.
uPVC vs Composite Doors: Which Should You Choose?
If you are comparing a uPVC entrance door against a composite door (such as our Solidor or Comp Door ranges), this table breaks down how the two materials differ. For a deeper comparison, read our guide on Composite vs. uPVC Doors.
| Feature | uPVC Doors | Composite Doors |
|---|---|---|
| Starting Price (Fitted) | Lower starting cost (From £1,145 back / £1,245 front) | Different price point (From £1,575 fitted) |
| Construction & Thickness | Multi-chambered uPVC sash with an insulated infill panel and glazed aperture | Thicker solid timber core or high-density foam core with a durable GRP or CoolSkin finish |
| Styles & Finishes | Wide choice of colours, woodgrain foils, and glazed panel layouts; very low maintenance | Authentic timber-grain textures in traditional cottage and contemporary flush designs |
| Best Suited For | Back doors, utility entrances, side doors, porches, and cost-effective front door upgrades | Primary front entrances where a heavier, solid-timber feel and statement kerb appeal are desired |

Winchester uPVC Door FAQs
Our fully fitted half-glazed uPVC back doors start from £1,145, and panelled uPVC front doors start from £1,245 including VAT and installation. Solid composite doors start from £1,575, and 1500mm uPVC French doors start from £1,690. The final price depends on the style, colour, hardware, and glazing options you choose.
Replacing a standard single uPVC front or back door typically takes between 3 and 5 hours. Our installers remove your old door and frame, fit and level the new frame, hang and adjust the door, seal the perimeter, and test the multi-point lock with you before leaving your hallway tidy.
No—we always install a complete, factory-matched door and frame set. Fitting a new door sash into an old frame compromises weather-sealing, thermal efficiency, and lock alignment, and cannot be certified under FENSA Building Regulations.

Both VEKA and Profile 22 (Optima) are leading multi-chambered uPVC systems offering excellent thermal performance, strength, and weather resistance. They differ mainly in outer frame contour details (sculptured vs chamfered profiles) and specific foil options, allowing us to match the style of your existing windows.

While standard uPVC is sometimes restricted in strict conservation areas covered by an Article 4 Direction, we offer high-quality alternatives and sympathetic designs. We recommend checking with Winchester City Council, and our team can provide advice on suitable styles.
