Planning your new front door in Fazeley
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 Fazeley, building control is provided by Lichfield District Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Which options suit homes in Fazeley?
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.
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.

Before you book in Fazeley
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 Fazeley?
Yes. Fazeley (B78) is about 14 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 Fazeley?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Fazeley is provided by Lichfield District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
