French Doors in Bradford-on-Avon
The old houses of Bradford-on-Avon are built of Bath stone, much of it from the wool and cloth trade of the seventeenth century, and their openings are usually narrow and tall. A pair of French doors respects those proportions far better than a wide modern door.
We fit French doors in uPVC, in our R9 timber-look range and in aluminium, with side panels and Georgian bars where they suit. Our sculptured French door system, with our Storm Guard threshold, keeps the weather out without a big step, which matters on a house where the garden sits close to the floor level.

French Doors in Bradford-on-Avon: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Bradford-on-Avon do you cover?
We cover Bradford-on-Avon, Winsley, Turleigh, Westwood, Avoncliff, Holt, South Wraxall and Staverton, along with Shaftesbury and the surrounding area.
Do I need planning permission for French doors in Bradford-on-Avon?
Not usually, because French doors in place of a back door or window are generally permitted development. Much of Bradford-on-Avon is a conservation area and many houses are listed, so in the old town it is worth checking, as it is if the opening is widened. Wiltshire Council or Building Control may need to agree, and Kenny will advise first.
Should my French doors open inwards or outwards?
Outward opening is the choice for most Bradford-on-Avon homes. The doors rest back against the wall, the room keeps its floor space and the weather holds them tight on their seals. On a steep garden or a terrace close to the house, inward opening may suit better. Kenny will look at the levels with you.
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 French doors cost?
Each pair is priced on its size, frame material and colour, glass, any side panels and any changes to the opening. Bath stone openings vary a great deal, so Kenny surveys before quoting, at no cost to you. Like for like, we are rarely beaten on price.
