Sunlight, glass and orientation in Exeter
At the latitude of Exeter, the midday sun climbs to about 63° in late June but only about 16° in late December, when daylight lasts around 7 h 57 min against 16 h 30 min in midsummer. A south-facing sliding door lets that low winter sun deep into the room; on a west or south elevation, solar-control glass keeps summer afternoons comfortable.
How it works in Exeter
Start with a guide price online or by phone. A surveyor then measures your opening in Exeter, checks levels and the lintel, and you receive a fixed written quote. After you approve it, the door is made to measure and fitted, with the compliance certificate sent to you.
Approvals in England
English Building Regulations treat a new or replacement external door in an existing home as a controlled fitting: it needs a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or better (or Doorset Energy Rating band C) if more than 60% of it is glazed (Approved Document L), and safety glass in a critical location (Approved Document K). Compliance is arranged through a competent person scheme installer or a Building Control notification, so you get a certificate for your records.
