Front Door renovation suggestions


JMB2012

Recommended Posts

We live in a 1930s house with all original front door, door frame and leaded lights. They are not in too bad condition but they are tired looking and I want them to look beautiful and smart. I would also like to increase the insulation by getting the glass encapsulated in new timber frame double glazed units, putting insulation board on the inside walls and re-plastering, and of course renovating the door itself with a new paint job, filling in old lock holes and smart new door furniture.


Has anyone done this locally and could you recommend someone who might take on the job? I think we are maybe looking at more than one trades person. My main focus is the front door itself and the leaded lights.


Any suggestions?


Many thanks.

    • Thankfully, it seems that yesterday's "Red vs Blue" school wars thing has turned out to be a hoax/ nonsense/ whatever. (See link below if you managed to avoid this stuff). In years to come, we might found out who - or which countries - has an interest in testing what happens when you post socially disruptive content online about fake events... In the meantime, thank you to our local teachers and other school workers, police community support officers and police officers. My commute happens to take me past a bunch of schools at dropoff/pickup times, and I noticed a much greater and more visible presence on streets outside/near schools than normal. Annoying as it must have been to be distracted from other important duties, I really value and appreciate them looking out for the kids. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/school-wars-trend-red-blue-london-police-latest-142328025.html https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/jan/01/birmingham-new-year-fireworks-display-centenary-square-police
