Aluminium Bifold Doors in Dorchester
Dorchester sits on the edge of the Dorset National Landscape, with the downs to the south and west and the Frome water meadows to the north. Plenty of homes in and around the town have gardens that deserve more than a narrow back door, and a kitchen that feels cut off from them.
A set of aluminium bifold doors lets you fold the back of the house away on a warm day, while a traffic door handles the everyday comings and goings. We make them in any colour, with panels sized to suit the opening, and we work across Dorchester and the villages around it from our base in Shaftesbury, about 23 miles away.
Bifold Doors from Fordington to Poundbury
The town’s houses cover a long span, from the Victorian estates laid out beyond the old walls from the 1870s to the new streets of Poundbury. On an older house a three-panel door often sits better in the wall, while a newer kitchen extension can take four or five panels across its full width.
Kenny surveys every opening himself and our own team carries out every installation. Most bifolds at the back of a house fall under permitted development, but much of the centre is a conservation area, so Kenny will advise whether Dorset Council needs to be involved.
Our Range
Aluminium Bifold Doors
Two to seven-panel aluminium bifolds that fold in or out. On a Poundbury house, or a Victorian house with a new extension, they connect the kitchen properly to the garden.
Bifold Doors Fitted Properly in Dorchester
Dorchester is a good drive from Shaftesbury, so we plan each job carefully and see it through properly.
Fitted by Our Own Team
Our own team carries out every installation, takes care inside your home, and leaves the house clean and tidy before they head back.
Secure as Standard
All our bifolds come with toughened safety glass, multi-point locking and anti-lift hardware as standard.
FENSA Registered
Every installation is certified to Building Regulations by us, and a FENSA certificate is sent to you for your records.
Bifold Doors in Dorchester: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Dorchester do you cover?
We cover Dorchester, Poundbury, Fordington, Charminster, Stinsford, Bradford Peverell, Broadmayne and Puddletown, along with Shaftesbury and the surrounding area.
Do I need planning permission for bifold doors in Dorchester?
Normally not. A bifold at the rear of the house, or into a rear extension, is usually permitted development. Much of central Dorchester is a conservation area, and Poundbury homes can have their own design rules, so if that applies, your house is listed, or the opening is being widened, Dorset Council or Building Control may need to be involved. Kenny will advise.
How many panels will my bifold door need?
It depends on how wide the opening is and how you will use it. Most panels are 600 to 900mm wide, so three fit a 1.8 to 2.4 metre opening and four or five a wider extension wall. A traffic door is usually included, so you can use one panel every day.
What guarantee do you give?
Frames and sealed glass units are guaranteed for 10 years, hardware for 2 years and our workmanship for 10 years, all backed by an insurance-backed guarantee through HomePro.
How much do aluminium bifold doors cost?
The width, number of panels, colour, glass and whether the opening needs altering all affect the cost. Everything is made to measure, so Kenny surveys first. There is no charge for the survey or quote, and we are rarely beaten on price for a genuine like-for-like quotation.
