Meet Jim and Josh
The father and son team behind Very Secure Doors
Very Secure Doors started in 2010 by Jim. With years of experience in the door industry, he saw an opportunity to do things differently – focusing on honest service, quality installations, and treating every customer’s home with the care it deserves.
In 2015, Josh joined the business straight from school, and Very Secure Doors became the true family operation it is today. What started as a father teaching his son the trade has evolved into a partnership built on shared values: professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for every installation we complete.
That same year, we achieved official Rockdoor approved installer status – a credential that requires meeting strict standards for expertise, customer service, and installation quality. Since then, we’ve installed over 2,000 doors across Derby, Nottingham, Leicester and the wider Midlands, building a reputation that’s earned us a 5.0-star rating from 94 Google reviews.
We’re not the biggest door company in the Midlands, and we don’t want to be. What matters to us is doing every job properly, treating your home with respect, and being there when you need us. When you contact Very Secure Doors, you’ll speak directly with us – no salespeople, no subcontractors, just Jim and Josh providing the service we’d expect for our own families.
Why We’re Different
We’ve built our business around doing things the right way, not the easy way.
We operate from home rather than expensive showrooms or workshops. This isn’t about cutting corners – it’s about keeping our overheads low so we can offer competitive prices without compromising on quality. We can bring colour samples directly to your property during the free survey, so you can see exactly how your door will look in your own home.
When you choose Very Secure Doors, you deal with Jim and Josh from start to finish. We don’t use subcontractors, salespeople, or call centres. The same people who quote your job, survey your property, and provide advice are the ones who’ll install your door. This means better communication, complete accountability, and work we’re personally proud of.
We believe good work speaks for itself. You won’t get high-pressure sales tactics, artificial discounts that expire tomorrow, or pushy follow-up calls. We provide honest advice, accurate pricing, and the space for you to make the right decision for your home. If you need time to think, that’s absolutely fine – we’ll be here when you’re ready.
We’re not trying to fit ten doors a week. We’d rather complete three installations properly than rush through more and compromise on quality. Every installation gets the time and attention it deserves – protecting your property, ensuring perfect alignment, and leaving your home cleaner than we found it. Our 5.0-star rating from 94 Google reviews reflects this approach.
All of our customers come back when they need another door, or recommend us to family and friends. That’s only possible when you do the job properly the first time and stand behind your work.
Our Credentials
We’re proud to hold certifications that demonstrate our commitment to quality and professionalism.
We’re one of the few official Rockdoor approved installers in the Midlands – a status only granted to companies meeting strict standards for technical expertise, customer service, and installation quality. This approval means we’re trained on the latest Rockdoor products and techniques, your warranty is fully protected, and you’re working with a company Rockdoor trusts to represent their brand.
In 2023, we were featured as Rockdoor’s Installation of the Month, recognising the quality of our workmanship and customer care.
We’re registered with QANW (Quality Assured National Warranties), Certass, and hold Certified Competent Person status. These industry bodies ensure we work to Building Regulations standards and provide the necessary guarantees for your peace of mind.
These certifications aren’t just badges on our website – they’re commitments we honour with every installation. They mean your door is installed correctly, your warranties are valid, and if anything goes wrong, you’re protected. We maintain these credentials because they hold us to the standards we set for ourselves anyway.
Where We Work
We’re based in Leicestershire and provide professional door installation across Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, Burton upon Trent, Crewe, and Warwick – covering Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire, Northamptonshire, and Warwickshire.
For customers outside our installation area, we offer supply-only with direct delivery across mainland UK.
