Options to consider in Catshill
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.
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.

Before you book in Catshill
Are composite doors more secure than uPVC doors?
Composite doors are generally thicker and stiffer than uPVC panel doors, which makes them harder to force, but the lock and cylinder matter most. Ask for an anti-snap cylinder and a multi-point lock, and consider a doorset tested to PAS 24 if your insurer asks. Every security option is named in your specification, so you know exactly what's fitted.
Do you cover Catshill?
Yes. Catshill (B61) is about 12 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.
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.
Will I need permission from the council in Catshill?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Catshill is provided by Bromsgrove District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
