Why this suits Essex
A composite door does not warp like timber or go chalky like early uPVC, which is why it is the default replacement front door across Essex.
Interwar and postwar suburban semis, Victorian terraces, and heavy modern estate growth. Estuarine and North Sea exposure on the east, sheltered suburbia in the west. The failure that tends to come first is Shrinkable London Clay causing movement, and salt loading near the estuary — worth knowing before you decide between repairing what you have and replacing it.
Clay movement is real across much of the county — measure at order, not months ahead. Order to the structural opening, measured in three places, smallest figure wins. How to measure properly.

Composite doors in Essex — questions
Can I collect instead of paying for delivery?
Most people take delivery. Collection is from Unit 1 Hems Crescent, Great Barr, Birmingham B43 5DG. Bring something big enough — a full door set does not go in a hatchback.
Who notifies building control on a supply-only order in Essex?
You do. Replacement windows and external doors are notifiable work, and with no registered installer involved there is no FENSA or CERTASS self-certification. If we install, we certify.
Which postcodes does that cover?
Essex covers CB10, CM0, CM1, CM12, CM13, CM14, CM15, CM16, CM17, CM18, CM19, CM2, CM20, CM22 and 51 more. Anything outside that list is still delivered — it just prices differently.
Is there a minimum order for Essex?
No minimum on the product. Delivery is priced by area and size of load, so a single unit to Essex carries a delivery charge that a full house of windows effectively absorbs.
Do you supply trade in Essex?
Yes. Trade accounts get ex-VAT pricing and the same lead time. Tell us you are trade when you send the sizes.
