Which option fits your home?

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.

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.

Before you book in Stratford-upon-Avon

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.

Do you cover Stratford-upon-Avon?

Yes. Stratford-upon-Avon (CV37) is about 26 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.

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.

Does Stratford-on-Avon District Council need to approve my new front door?

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