New front and back door

Hi, i have only had my house over a year and just after some advice. I need a front door and back door which are both at the side of the house, at the moment they are wood and we would like composite doors. Dont really know where to start. I thought to advertise on mybuilder but again do i need to give them sizes etc. or if someone could point me in the right direction of a trusted trader. Also please could someone help me and tell if there is anything i need look out for.

Thanks

(i had a window fitted when i moved in and i made a awful mistake by giving the builder cash before getting a receipt or 10 year warranty. He said he would bring it round but never did so i dont want to make any mistakes again, luckily i did get my fensa certificate)

    I have used this company for a composite door and a upvc one found them to be good..no money needed till its fitted and you are happy and the prices listed is the price you pay,no special manager discounts and the usual tricks some of them use

    Lots of different styles to choose from and different security options

    After you have had a look at all the styles just click on find an installer and choose the one nearest..the guy who will fit your door comes round measures up and if I remember about 10 days later will come round fit your door and you pay him then simple as that

    Ask a few local firms around for a chat and a quote . stick a pic of what you want and a pic of whats coming out here for a ballpark quote . note if there are any alarms . dash , render , timber, lintels etc all adds up . that website gives a solid quote but seems I little expensive from what I'm used to .
