Choices to weigh up in Bloxwich

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.

Solid front door

A fully solid slab with no glass gives the most privacy and the best insulation. It suits halls that already get light from a side panel or fanlight. Many styles add raised or flat moulded panels, so a solid door needn't look plain, and a spy hole or door chain can be added for checking callers.

Your questions answered

Can I keep my existing frame and just change the door?

Sometimes, but it's rarely worth it. Composite doors are made as a matched doorset, with the frame, hinges and lock keeps built around the slab, so fitting a new slab into an old uPVC frame seldom seals or locks as well. We'll tell you at survey if your frame is sound enough, but most jobs replace both.

What guarantee comes with a composite door?

The door, frame, glass and hardware are covered by the manufacturer's guarantee, and the exact terms for your door are set out in your quote. Guarantees often treat colour fading, sealed units and locks differently, so it's worth reading those lines. Keep the paperwork with any certification for when you sell.

Will I need permission from the council in Bloxwich?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Bloxwich is provided by Walsall Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
