Composite doors in Shenstone

Before your new front door in Shenstone

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Shenstone? Check with Lichfield District Council before changing the outside of your home. Otherwise the main rules for your new front door are Building Regulations, and we'll explain at the survey which certificates you'll receive.

Side panels within 300 mm of a door need safety glass too, not just the door itself.
The old door stays in place until the new one arrives, so you're never left without a lockable entrance.
Anti-snap cylinders and multi-point locks are worth asking for on any door in Shenstone.

Options to consider in Shenstone

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.

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.

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 Shenstone do you work in?

We cover WS14 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Shenstone, neighbouring Four Oaks and Lichfield are covered too.

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 Shenstone?

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