Usually no for houses if the door is a similar appearance and size. However, flats, listed buildings and conservation areas can be different. Building Regulations still apply. See Do I Need Planning Permission? for the full picture.
Supply-only gives you the door; you arrange survey and fitting. Supply & fit includes a measured survey, installation, making good and compliance paperwork. Therefore, most homeowners choose supply & fit for simplicity and FENSA-registered fitting.
We use price bands rather than fixed figures: uPVC £900–£1500, composite £1200–£2500, Hybrid £1900–£3000. Side panels, laminated glass and smart locks can lift the band. For detail, see How Much Do New Doors Cost.
It depends. Composite doors balance security, insulation and kerb appeal. uPVC doors are budget-friendly and low maintenance. Hybrid doors are premium modern door with the best energy efficiency. Consider style, energy goals and lead time. Our Door Buying Guide explains the trade-offs.
Look for PAS 24 doorsets, a 3-Star cylinder and, where available, Secured by Design hardware. Also consider multipoint locking and laminated security glass for glazed areas. See Door Security for options.
Lower U-values mean better insulation. BFRC door energy ratings help compare performance. In practice, good seals, thresholds and fit matter too. Our team will balance warmth, price band and style.
Most doors come with a 10-year guarantee (components vary by item). Workmanship is covered as well. Yes, guarantees are often transferable for the remaining term. Keep your documents safe. See Door Guarantees for details.
Our own FENSA-registered installers handle the job. After fitting you receive a FENSA certificate (on request) plus your guarantees and care advice. Therefore, selling your home later is simpler.
Clean with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasives. Twice a year, lightly oil hinges and locks. Check seals and drainage annually. For specifics, see Door Care.
Victorian and Edwardian homes love period panels and textured glass. Georgian prefers symmetry and subtle colours. 1930s suits arched glazing.
