Before your new front door in Tividale
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 Tividale, building control is provided by Sandwell Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).
- Side panels within 300 mm of a door need safety glass too, not just the door itself.
- Anti-snap cylinders and multi-point locks are worth asking for on any door in Tividale.
- The old door stays in place until the new one arrives, so you're never left without a lockable entrance.

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.
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 Tividale do you work in?
We cover B69 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Tividale, neighbouring Great Bridge and Tipton 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.
Will I need permission from the council in Tividale?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Tividale is provided by Sandwell Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
