Modern homes
Most installations here are in uPVC or composite doors, or through cavity walls. If your composite door is still under warranty, check before cutting it; a wall flap is a good alternative.
Villages
Villages around the city, such as Writtle and Danbury, have older cottages, some timber-framed or listed. Timber frames shouldn't be cut, and listed buildings need consent.
