Door-Stop is leading the way for on-time-in-full deliveries in social housing, with an impressive 98.56% success rate on its composite doors, supplied in just 3 days. Since winning an order for 6,000 composite doors from Wakefield District Housing (WDH) in February, Door-Stop’s strong performance has led to another contract with the association for 44 doors for new build.
The industry norm for delivering composite door is around 6-8 weeks, due to the complexity of managing input from surveyors, residents, contractors and subcontractors. Door-Stop has automated these processes to offer social housing the same 3 day delivery service it supplies to its 4,000 retail installer customers. Door-Stop continuously measures its on-time-in-full ratings for all clients averaging 97% to 99% - this figure is updated weekly on our home page.
Door-Stop’s performance is helping WDH reach its target of upgrading housing stock to the Wakefield Standard, (a higher specification than the Government's Decent Homes Standard). The 3 day delivery service saves time and money through more flexible project management, taking account of bad weather and tenant absence.
James Martin, Strategic Programming Manager for WDH comments: “The quick turn-around time from order to delivery is exactly what we want. The quality of the doors enhances the excellent service we already provide to our tenants.”
Noted by The Telegraph as one of Britain’s Brightest Businesses, Door-Stop has a current turnover of £20 million and manufactures more than 1,100 composite doors a week.
