Winter light and glass choice in Mangotsfield
By midsummer Mangotsfield has about 16 h 38 min of daylight, but in December only around 7 h 50 min, with the noon sun at about 15°. Triple glazing keeps more heat in during those long, dark months; big south and west windows may suit solar-control glass for summer.

Rules for composite front doors in England
In England, replacement external doors must meet 1.4 W/m²K, or a door set energy rating of band C (more than 60% glazed) or band B (other doors). Replacement external doors fall under the same energy rules: a competent person scheme installer (such as FENSA or Certass) self-certifies the work and notifies the council, or a building control body approves it.
Before ordering: Replacing doors on a house is normally permitted development if the new ones look similar. Flats need planning permission for a change that alters their appearance, an Article 4 direction may mean permission is needed, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
How it works
We start with a survey, not a sales pitch: measurements, the structure above any bays, trickle-vent needs and escape windows. The quote that follows fixes the price, and anything unexpected on the day is agreed with you first.

Questions from Mangotsfield
Are composite doors secure?
Good ones are tested to PAS 24 and fitted with anti-snap cylinders. We specify both.
Is triple glazing worth it in a front door?
The glass is the weakest part of a composite door for heat loss, so triple glazing the panels helps most when the door has large glazed areas or side panels.
Do I need permission for triple glazed composite front doors in Mangotsfield?
In England, a replacement door on a house that looks similar is normally permitted development; flats need permission if the change alters their appearance, Article 4 areas may need permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent. Check whether your street is in a conservation area or covered by an Article 4 direction before changing the style.
How long does it take to get triple glazed composite front doors fitted in Mangotsfield?
After the survey, typical manufacture time is 4 to 6 weeks, and a door is usually fitted in a day.
