- Do you handle conservation-area planning in Islington?
- Working across London means understanding period detail, party-wall etiquette and permit parking as well as we understand glass. We schedule dust sheets, protection and clean-down like a good building firm should. We prepare planning-ready drawings with matched sightlines, glazing-bar depths and hardware for Islington projects that require them.
- What guarantee covers front doors in Islington?

- Can I see recent front doors work near Islington?
- Yes — we can share recent front doors case studies from across London, including projects in Barnsbury, Canonbury and neighbouring towns. Ask your surveyor at the on-site visit.
- Composite, aluminium or uPVC front door — which is best?
- Composite for period homes where you want a painted-timber look with modern security and thermals. Aluminium for contemporary homes and slim sightlines. uPVC where a clean, familiar frame profile suits the elevation. All three carry the same PAS 24 security.
- How secure is a good front door?
- The critical specification is a TS 007 3-star anti-snap cylinder, PAS 24 multi-point locking, laminated inner glazing on any side lights, and a reinforced sash. All four together are what insurers ask for and what a burglar will walk away from.
- Can I match my front door to a Farrow-and-Ball colour?
- Yes — Hague Blue, Downpipe, Card Room Green, Studio Green, Railings and many others are stocked as composite finishes. Any specific RAL or F&B colour can be sprayed to order on aluminium.
