Composite doors in Warwickshire

Planning your new front door in Warwickshire

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Warwickshire? Check with the district or borough council for your town 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.

Different colours inside and out let a door suit both your hallway and the street.
If more than half the door face is glazed, the installation has to be certified under the Building Regulations.
The old door stays in place until the new one arrives, so you're never left without a lockable entrance.

Options to consider in Warwickshire

Back and side doors

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.

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.

Prices in Warwickshire match the rest of our area: £900–£3,400 per door. Composite front door in a standard frame, no side panels, colour of your choice: usually £1,100–£1,700 per door.

Your questions answered

How long does it take to fit a composite door?

Fitting itself normally takes half a day to a full day, depending on whether side panels are included and how much making good is needed. Most of the wait is manufacture, which is usually around four to six weeks after you approve the design. You'll have a working, lockable door at the end of fitting day.
