Door stripping in Essex: Homeowners vs renters
Homeowners:
If you own your property, you’re free to restore your doors as you wish. For listed or period homes, check whether planning restrictions apply before removing original finishes.
Renters:
Always speak to your landlord first. Any work on original doors (especially exterior ones) will need their approval. If paint is flaking or unsafe (like lead paint), the landlord is usually responsible for repairs.
