What is the Fitting Process?

Firstly, the site will be assessed for an access route and health and safety.

Once a plan has been established the work will begin. All areas will be covered with appropriate protection.

Internally

The first step is to run a multitool around the old Frame releasing it from any plaster, render or wallpaper ensuring no damage or snagging to the existing walls when the old frame is removed. Then the removal of the frame gives it a clean cut plaster work releasing the frame from the plaster surround running removing the old door bit by bit unscrewing the sashes, removing the from the house and storing ready for final clearance.

Building Regulations for Composite Doors

 

What is the Guidance with Composite Door Installations & Building Regulations?

Whether you're renovating a period property or giving your modern home a facelift, installing a composite door can be a fantastic upgrade. But before you hammer in the first nail, it's essential to understand the relevant building regulations to ensure your new entrance meets all the necessary standards.

Do I need building regulations for a composite door installation?

In most cases, yes, installing a new composite door will require Building Regulations approval, as it qualifies as a "controlled fitting".

This means it must comply with several regulations, primarily focusing on safety, fire, energy efficiency, and accessibility.

Key regulations to consider:

  • Part A (Structure): This ensures the stability and structural integrity of the building after the door opening is created or modified. If your door widens the existing opening, additional support might be needed.
  • Part B (Fire safety): For doors with glazing within 1 meter of a boundary, fire-resistant glass must be used.
  • Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Power): The door must meet specific thermal performance standards to minimize heat loss. This typically involves a U-value (a measure of insulation) below 1.8 W/m²K.
  • Part M (Accessibility): If the door provides access to public buildings or dwellings, it must be easily accessible for people with disabilities. This includes minimum door width, threshold height, and manoeuvrability considerations.

Additional factors:

  • Location: Specific requirements might vary depending on the location of your property and its proximity to boundaries.
  • Glazing: The type and size of glazing in your door will impact fire safety and thermal performance regulations.
  • Opening direction: Regulations might dictate the direction the door should swing to ensure safe escape routes.
