Tilehurst is one of the most UPVC-heavy patches in West Reading. The 1960s–90s estates around School Road, Park Lane, Norcot, Kentwood and the Calcot border were largely built or retrofitted with UPVC composite doors fitted with first- and second-generation multipoint mechanisms. These mechanisms typically have a 20–25 year service life and almost all originals are now past that threshold — we see UPVC gearbox failures across RG30/RG31 every day.
Sitting alongside the estate stock are older Edwardian and inter-war semis along City Road and toward Prospect Park with traditional timber doors and 5-lever mortice locks, plus modern composite-door new-build around the Calcot and Burghfield Common borders.
Tilehurst van stock: Yale Doormaster, GU Secury, Fuhr Multisafe, ERA Vectis and Avocet WS multipoint gearboxes (plus extra-long hinges and alignment packers for dropped doors); BS3621 Banham, Chubb 3G110 and Union 2C13 mortice locks; full TS007 3-star Avocet ABS, Brisant Ultion and Mul-T-Lock cylinders.
