Menheniot: a straightforward composite door upgrade for a Bodmin Moor-edge village
By Cornwall Composite Doors · 13 November 1969 · 4 min read
Menheniot's mix of stone cottages and newer estate housing near Bodmin Moor gets a reliable, no-fuss composite door specification.
A village between Liskeard and the moor
Menheniot sits just off the A38 corridor between Liskeard and Saltash, close enough to Bodmin Moor's southern edge that winters bring proper wind and driven rain, without the salt exposure of Looe or the Rame peninsula a few miles south. PL14 housing here runs from stone cottages around St Lalluwy's Church to 1970s and 80s estate development on the village fringes. It's not a place that needs marine-grade fixings as standard, but it is a place where a poorly sealed door genuinely costs you in heating bills over a Cornish winter.
The heating and draught complaint we hear most
Menheniot customers usually come to us because a hallway that used to feel cold has been traced back to a door rather than the windows — often an older PVC door with a sagging frame or worn brush seals that no longer meet properly. Timber cottage doors near the church have a different problem: the door itself is fine structurally but the original latch and hinges have worn to the point where the door doesn't sit square in the frame, letting draughts straight through. A new composite doorset, correctly templated to the actual opening rather than a standard size, fixes both issues in one visit.
Styles that suit Menheniot's housing mix
On the stone cottages near the church, a traditional six-panel composite door in Chartwell Green or black with pewter furniture keeps the period character intact. On the estate housing, anthracite grey or a mid-grey flush design matches the existing grey window frames most of those houses already have, and it's the specification we fit most often in this part of the village.
Scheduling from our Liskeard-area rounds
Menheniot is close enough to Liskeard, Looe and Saltash that we run regular surveys through the village without a special trip, which keeps quotes competitive. If Bodmin Moor's weather has been particularly rough that winter, it's also worth booking your survey early — we do see a seasonal spike in enquiries from moor-edge villages once the first proper storms hit.
