Which option fits your home?
Door with side panels or top light
Side panels and fanlights make a wider, brighter entrance and are often found on 1930s and post-war semis. They're made as one frame with the door, usually in matching glass. A wider frame costs more, and glass in panels close to the door must be safety glass under Approved Document K.
Part-glazed or half-glazed door
Glass in the top half or a narrow strip lets daylight into a dark hallway. Door glass must be safety glass up to 1,500 mm from the floor, and you can choose obscure, textured or decorative glass for privacy. If more than half of the door face is glass, the installation must be certified under the Building Regulations.

How do I book a survey in Bromsgrove?
Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your new front door and arrange a time to visit.
Will I be without a front door for long?
No. The old door stays in until the new one is on site, and we remove and fit in the same visit. The opening is only empty for a short time while the frame goes in, and the door is hung and locked before we leave. If anything unexpected turns up in the opening, we'll make it secure before going.
Who approves composite doors in Bromsgrove?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Bromsgrove is provided by Bromsgrove District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
