Composite doors in Bedworth

Composite doors in Bedworth: approvals and local details

This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Bedworth, building control is provided by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

The old door stays in place until the new one arrives, so you're never left without a lockable entrance.
Different colours inside and out let a door suit both your hallway and the street.
A replacement front door must reach a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or the equivalent energy rating.

Options to consider in Bedworth

Back and side doors

Composite back doors use the same construction as front doors, typically in a simpler panel style. They're a good swap for a tired uPVC kitchen or utility door that has dropped or lets in draughts. A low threshold can be specified where a step makes access difficult, though it needs careful detailing to keep rain out.

Security upgrades

Doors can be specified with anti-snap cylinders, multi-point locking, hinge-side protection and laminated glass. Some doorsets are tested to the PAS 24 enhanced security standard or carry Secured by Design status. If that matters to your insurer, ask for it at survey and it will be named in your specification.

How long does it take to fit a composite door?

Fitting itself normally takes half a day to a full day, depending on whether side panels are included and how much making good is needed. Most of the wait is manufacture, which is usually around four to six weeks after you approve the design. You'll have a working, lockable door at the end of fitting day.
