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.

Questions about composite doors in Hall Green

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.

Which postcodes in Hall Green do you work in?

We cover B28 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Hall Green, neighbouring Acocks Green and Shirley are covered too.

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.

Who approves composite doors in Hall Green?
