Composite doors in Great Wyrley

Planning your new front door in Great Wyrley

Work like this in Great Wyrley rarely needs planning permission, but parts of the job must meet Building Regulations — certified electrical work, ventilation or energy-efficiency standards, for example. Your quote shows how each part is signed off. If planning does come into it, say for a listed building, South Staffordshire Council is the authority.

Most composite doors take a few weeks to make, so it's worth ordering well before the colder months.
If more than half the door face is glazed, the installation has to be certified under the Building Regulations.
Anti-snap cylinders and multi-point locks are worth asking for on any door in Great Wyrley.

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.

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

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.

Which postcodes in Great Wyrley do you work in?

We cover WS6 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Great Wyrley, neighbouring Cheslyn Hay and Cannock are covered too.

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.

Who approves composite doors in Great Wyrley?

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