When it comes to first impressions, few things say ‘welcome home’ better than a standout front door. For Mr and Mrs Snoad of Horncastle, the time had come to swap tired for timeless — and the results? Well, let’s just say their neighbours are probably a little jealous (and rightly so).
The Challenge: Outdated and Underperforming
Living in the heart of Horncastle, Mr and Mrs Snoad found themselves facing a common problem among homeowners in Lincolnshire’s charming period properties — a dated front door that didn’t quite match their home’s character or meet today’s expectations for energy efficiency and security. Draughts in the winter, fading paint, and flimsy locks had become part of daily life. While it had sentimental value, their old wooden door simply couldn’t keep up in a modern and safety-conscious world.
Choosing Roofriendly: Lincolnshire’s Local Home Improvement Ally
After searching for a trusted local expert who knew their way around both practical home improvements and aesthetics, the Snoads landed on Roofriendly. They were looking for more than just a supplier — they wanted a local company who could deliver honest advice, friendly service, and a finished result that truly reflected their home’s personality.
And that’s exactly why they chose us. Being Lincolnshire locals ourselves, we understand what styles suit our diverse architecture — and we listen carefully to what each homeowner wants to achieve. For the Snoads, it was all about colour, character, and a touch of artistry.
The Transformation: From Average to Showstopper
After a personalised consultation, they selected a sky blue composite door — a bold yet elegant choice that immediately set the tone for what was to come. The door is equipped with a stained leaded glass design and a matching glazed side panel — bringing in natural light while adding a jewel-box charm from every angle.
Inside, the white-painted interior of the door was picked to keep things fresh and bright, perfectly complementing their hallway décor and enhancing the feeling of space. It’s a subtle design feature that makes a big difference every single day.
Our Process: Done Right, First Time
We started with a thorough site survey to ensure our measurement was digitally perfect — critical for snug, secure fittings. Our experienced fitting team (tidy bunch, mind you!) arrived on time and had the old unit out and the new composite beauty installed in a single day. We make a point of leaving your home exactly as we found it… only with a much better-looking front door.
Throughout the process, the Snoads were kept informed, consulted for design confirmations, and reassured by our commitment to quality from start to finish. Installation used composite materials built to withstand Lincolnshire’s unpredictable weather and fitted with industry-leading locks for next-level protection.
The Result: A Door That’s Much More Than a Door
The sky blue hue isn’t just dashingly different; it’s UV-resistant and long-lasting, so it’ll look great season after season. The stained leaded glass adds unmistakable kerb appeal, enough to make passers-by do a subtle double-take as they stroll down the street.
Beyond looks, this upgrade means:
- Improved energy efficiency — fewer draughts and lower heating bills
- Enhanced security with reinforced composite build and top-grade locking systems
- Better sound insulation, keeping street noise firmly outside
- Low maintenance — no repainting or constant upkeep required
And most importantly? One very happy couple, now coming home every day to something they love.
