When Mr. and Mrs. Gadsby set out to give their Horncastle home a fresh new look, they didn’t start with massive renovations or a colour swatch marathon — they started at the front door. Quite literally. What stood between them and the kerb appeal they had been envisioning was an old, draughty entrance that had seen better (and probably quieter) days. That’s where Roofriendly came in — because when you’re upgrading your home, the right partner makes all the difference.
📍 The Problem: A Tired Door That Let More Than Just Guests In
The Gadsbys’ existing front door had two jobs: keep the elements out and welcome people in. Unfortunately, it was performing one of those tasks far better than the other. Over time, the door had become less energy-efficient and less secure. Draughts were sneaking in during winter, and noise from the street felt much too close for comfort. The front of the home was also lacking that visual ‘wow’ — and when you know your entrance doesn’t match your home’s personality, it can be a daily frustration.
Having decided enough was enough, Mr. and Mrs. Gadsby began looking for a solution that brought together style, security, warmth, and long-lasting quality — without losing their preferred modern aesthetic.
💡 The Solution: Finding the Right Fit with Roofriendly
Once the Gadsbys discovered Roofriendly, things clicked into place. What caught their eye first? A sleek composite front door in anthracite grey — modern, elegant, and just bold enough to make a statement. But choosing Roofriendly wasn’t just about the door’s design. It was also about trust.
They loved that we were local experts who understand Lincolnshire homes and install products built to perform brilliantly in the British weather. Plus, we didn’t just offer a product; we offered peace of mind — from informed advice and clear communication to high-quality installation and aftercare.
It’s no surprise we’ve become the go-to for composite doors in Horncastle and across the region. When your neighbours recommend us and you can browse real examples of our work, confidence comes easy.
🔧 The Installation: Care, Craft, and Clean Lines
On installation day, our skilled fitting team got straight to work. We removed the existing door and frame carefully, ensuring a neat transition with minimal disruption. The new anthracite grey composite door was installed precisely, with expert attention to insulation and weather-sealing for maximum performance.
The feature decorative glass inlays weren’t just there for show — they’re triple-glazed and reinforced, offering additional thermal protection and incredibly robust security. And that deep anthracite finish? UV-resistant, fade-proof, and easy to clean. Every inch of this door was designed to last.
From the hinges to the locking mechanism, we only used hardware we’d gladly want on our own homes. After all, our name’s on it — and when it comes to installing composite doors in Horncastle, we’ve built a reputation worth maintaining.
✅ The Result: A Warmer, Safer, Sharper-Looking Home
With the installation complete, the result was crystal clear — even with that decorative glass! The Gadsbys now enjoy a front entrance that seals out draughts, muffles noise, enhances security, and boosts their home’s kerb appeal tenfold. It’s the sort of upgrade you appreciate every single day, and visitors can’t help but notice.
More importantly, it’s one small change that feels like a giant leap in comfort and pride of home. There’s just something satisfying about closing the door at night knowing it’s not only beautiful, it’s smart, strong, and secure.
