French Doors in Fordingbridge
A fire in 1702 destroyed dozens of houses in Fordingbridge, but the town still has a fine run of older buildings along the High Street, Bridge Street and Provost Street, many of them listed. On homes with modest, well-proportioned openings, a pair of French doors often sits more comfortably than a wide run of glass.
We fit French doors in uPVC, in our R9 timber-look range and in aluminium, with side panels and Georgian bars where they suit the house. Our sculptured French door system comes with our Storm Guard threshold, which keeps the weather out without a tall step. Kenny surveys every opening himself and our own team does every installation.
French Doors for Fordingbridge’s Older Streets
On post-war and newer homes in and around Fordingbridge, French doors with a side panel either side are a popular replacement for an old patio door. You keep the width of glass and gain a proper pair of opening doors onto the garden.
With 44 listed buildings in the Fordingbridge conservation area, it is worth checking before anything is ordered. If your home is listed or in the conservation area, Kenny will advise on whether New Forest District Council needs to approve the doors.
Our Range
French Doors
A traditional pair of doors in uPVC, aluminium or our R9 timber-look range, sized to the opening of a Fordingbridge cottage or family house, with side panels and Georgian bars available.
French Doors Fitted Properly in Fordingbridge
Fordingbridge homes deserve the same care as our own. We take on a limited number of jobs so that each one is done properly, and this is what that means for you.
Fitted by Our Own Team
No outside fitters turn up on the day. Our own team installs your doors, works tidily around your furniture and clears away every scrap before they leave.
Secure as Standard
Security is built in rather than added on, with multi-point locking, high-security cylinders and toughened safety glass on every pair.
FENSA Registered
Being FENSA registered lets us certify the installation to Building Regulations without a separate inspection, and your certificate follows by post.
French Doors in Fordingbridge: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Fordingbridge do you cover?
We cover Fordingbridge, Sandleheath, Alderholt, Godshill, Breamore, Rockbourne, Damerham and Woodgreen, along with Shaftesbury and the surrounding area.
Do I need planning permission for French doors in Fordingbridge?
Generally not, as a like-for-like change at the back of a house is usually permitted development. The picture changes in Fordingbridge’s conservation area, on a listed building, or if the opening is to be made wider. In those cases New Forest District Council or Building Control may need to approve the work, and Kenny will tell you which at the survey.
Should my French doors open inwards or outwards?
We fit far more outward opening French doors than inward ones in the Fordingbridge area. They rest against the outside wall when open, leave the room clear and close firmly against wind and rain. If you have a narrow terrace or pots right by the step, inward opening might suit better, and Kenny will go through the pros and cons 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 made for its own opening, so the cost comes down to the width and height, the frame material and colour, the glass you choose and whether side panels or building work are involved. Kenny gives a free survey and a fixed written quotation, and like for like, our prices are rarely beaten.
