Options to consider in Codsall
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.
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.
What does your new front door cost in Codsall?
Guide prices start at £900 and run to £3,400 per door. Composite front door in a standard frame, no side panels, colour of your choice: around £1,100–£1,700 per door.

Your questions answered
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.
Do you cover Codsall?
Yes. Codsall (WV8) 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.
Who approves composite doors in Codsall?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Codsall is provided by South Staffordshire Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
