A wide choice of styles in composite, uPVC and aluminium. Every one made to measure, supplied and installed by the same firm.
Composite Doors
A solid core inside a woodgrain GRP skin. The strongest option for a new front door, and the one most people choose.
Composite Doors →
uPVC Doors
Reinforced uPVC front and back doors with double weather seals. Lower cost, and sensible for a rear or utility door.
uPVC Doors →
Aluminium Bi-Folds
Thermally broken aluminium bi-folds, built to your exact width, that fold back to open a wall onto the garden.
Aluminium Bi-Folds →
French & Patio Doors
French doors and sliding patio doors with A-rated glazing and multi-point locking as standard.
French & Patio Doors →Most of what comes up when you search for doors in Formby is stock sizes off a shelf, or a supplier who delivers and leaves. Here is what you get instead when a door is built for your opening.
Older openings are rarely square and almost never a catalogue size. A made-to-measure frame is built to the survey, so it does not need packing out with filler and trim.
Trimming a stock door to fit cuts through the frame reinforcement and voids most guarantees. Ours arrives at the right size and is not touched.
Colour, woodgrain finish, glass design, handle, hinge and letterplate are all specified before it is built rather than picked from whatever is in stock.
We survey it, order it, fit it and guarantee it. Nobody hands you a door and wishes you luck with the fitting.
Supply-only is genuinely cheaper. It is also where most of the problems we get called out to fix start, so we do not offer it.
Family run since 1999, fitting doors in Formby and along the Sefton coast for over 25 years.
Countrywide UPVC (NW) Ltd is run by Paul, who started it in 1999 and still does. We are a fitting company rather than a door shop, which is why every quote we give is for the job rather than the product.
Our installers are employed by us, not brought in for the week, and they are FENSA registered. That is what a 10-year guarantee actually rests on: the same firm still being here, and the same people still doing the fitting.
Live, verified Google reviews from customers across Formby and the surrounding area.
A new front door is the one purchase where the cheap version and the good version look identical in a photograph. The difference is all in the parts you cannot see from the pavement.
The frame does the security work. Ours are steel reinforced and packed properly into the opening, which is why they still shut cleanly in year five.
Hook bolts engaging into the frame at several points, with anti-snap cylinders as standard rather than an upsell at the survey.
A solid insulated core and a properly sealed frame. The draught round an old door costs more over a winter than most people expect.
Your installation is registered with Sefton Council building control and you get the certificate.
A wide choice of styles: colour, woodgrain finish, obscure or leaded glass designs, and the handle, hinge and letterplate to match. All chosen before it is built.
Three to four hours for a single door, old one taken away, and no maintenance beyond an occasional wipe down and a drop of oil on the hinges.
We cover Formby and the surrounding villages, including Freshfield, Woodvale, Little Altcar, Great Altcar, Hightown and Ince Blundell. We also fit windows and conservatories and roofs in the area.
Recent door installations from around Formby, Sefton and West Lancashire.
The things people ask us before booking a survey.
Yes, every one. We survey the opening, the door and frame are built to those measurements, and nothing is cut down on site. Stock-size doors trimmed to fit are where most of the callouts we get asked to fix begin.
For a front door, generally yes. A composite door has a solid core bonded inside a GRP skin, so it is heavier, better insulated and harder to force. uPVC is lighter and cheaper, which makes it the sensible choice for a back or utility door rather than the main entrance.
They cost more than uPVC, and a very cheap one can be worse than a good uPVC door because the saving comes out of the core and the locking. They can also fade slightly on a south-facing elevation over many years. We would rather tell you that now than after you have bought one.
Not for a like-for-like replacement on a normal house. If you are in a conservation area or the property is listed, check with the council first. Building regulations still apply, which is what the FENSA certificate covers.
You can, but we do not supply doors on their own. Fitting is where the security and the weather sealing are actually won or lost, and a self-fitted door is not covered by our guarantee or notified to building control.
Yes. We survey, measure and give you a written price with no charge and no obligation. There is no salesman staying for three hours and no discount that expires that evening.
Three to four hours for a single door. That covers taking the old door and frame out, fitting and packing the new frame, sealing, adjusting the locking and clearing up after ourselves.
