French Doors in Blandford Forum
Blandford Forum is about eleven miles down the A350 from Shaftesbury, and we are in and around the town every month. Behind the Georgian frontages in the centre, and across the estates towards Blandford St Mary and Pimperne, a pair of French doors is one of the most requested jobs we do.
They suit a dining room or kitchen with a modest opening, and they can be fitted with side panels to bring in more light where there is room. Kenny surveys every opening himself and our own team carries out every installation.
French Doors in a Georgian Market Town
The centre of Blandford is a conservation area with many listed buildings, so new doors on the main street frontages are rarely possible. At the back of an unlisted house, or on a modern home, French doors are usually straightforward, and Kenny will tell you if Dorset Council needs to be involved.
On 1960s and 1970s houses, swapping an old sliding patio door for a pair of French doors with side panels gives a much more usable opening, with both doors opening fully on a warm day.

French Doors in Blandford Forum: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Blandford Forum do you cover?
We cover Blandford Forum, Blandford St Mary, Pimperne, Bryanston, Charlton Marshall, Spetisbury, Durweston and Stourpaine, along with Shaftesbury and the surrounding area.
Do I need planning permission for French doors in Blandford Forum?
Usually not. Replacing a door or window at the back of a house with French doors normally falls under permitted development. If your home is listed, in a conservation area and the doors face the street, or you are widening the opening, Dorset Council or Building Control may need to be involved, and Kenny will advise when he visits.
Should my French doors open inwards or outwards?
Most of our customers choose outward opening, as the doors sit back against the wall and take up no room inside, and they seal tightly against the weather. Inward opening can suit a balcony or a patio with furniture close to the house. Kenny will talk you through both at the survey.
What guarantee do your doors come with?
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 French doors cost?
It depends on the size, the material, the colour, the glass and whether you would like side panels or the opening altered. Every door is made to measure, so the only way to give an accurate price is to survey your home. The survey and quote are free, and we are rarely beaten on price for a genuine like-for-like quotation.
