Composite doors in Tufnell Park

The housing in Tufnell Park is largely Victorian villas, terraces and converted flats. Victorian and Edwardian front doors often had four panels and a glazed top section, and composite designs can recreate that with matching letterplates and knockers.

For Georgian homes in conservation areas, a six-panel composite door in a heritage colour can work, but some councils insist on timber for front doors. Composite doors are a popular choice for maisonettes with their own street entrance, but doors onto communal corridors must meet the building's fire door requirements.

For most houses we suggest sash windows built to match the originals, or secondary glazing where the old frames are worth keeping. Flat owners usually need the freeholder's agreement, and we provide the details they ask for. Parking is controlled on most streets, so we arrange permits ahead of time. Our factory is about 5.5 miles away.

Composite doors combine a solid insulated core with a tough, weather-resistant outer skin, giving the look of a painted timber door with very little upkeep. They suit homeowners wanting a strong, attractive front door, with a choice of styles, colours, glass and hardware for traditional and modern homes.

• Thick insulated core keeps heat in
• Wide choice of colours and designs
