French Doors in Milborne Port
Milborne Port has a long history for a village. It was a Saxon mint town, sent its own members to Parliament until 1832, and grew rich on gloving and leather. The houses built by the glove manufacturers and the early 19th-century terraces give it a character of its own.
On homes like these, French doors usually keep the proportions of the building better than a wide door. We fit them in uPVC, in our R9 timber-look range and in aluminium, with side panels and Georgian bars where they suit. On a later family home, a side panel either side is a good way to replace an old patio door without losing any glass.
French Doors for Milborne Port’s Older Homes
Our sculptured French door system comes with our Storm Guard threshold, which keeps the weather out without a big step into the garden. Kenny surveys every opening himself, and our own team does every installation.
Although the postcode says Sherborne, Milborne Port is in Somerset, so planning matters go to Somerset Council. If your home is listed or in the village conservation area, Kenny will advise whether the council needs to approve the doors first.

French Doors in Milborne Port: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Milborne Port do you cover?
We cover Milborne Port, Milborne Wick, Kingsbury Regis, Charlton Horethorne, Goathill, Purse Caundle and Henstridge, along with Shaftesbury and the surrounding area.
Do I need planning permission for French doors in Milborne Port?
In most cases you will not need planning permission, as French doors in place of an existing rear door or window are generally permitted development. Milborne Port sits in Somerset, so if your house is listed, in the village conservation area with doors facing the road, or you want the opening wider, Somerset Council or Building Control may need to agree. Kenny will check.
Should my French doors open inwards or outwards?
We find most Milborne Port customers want their doors to open out. Swung back against the wall, they leave the room completely free, and the weather keeps them tight against their seals. Inward opening is still worth a thought for a balcony or a crowded patio, and Kenny will explain the difference.
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?
Several things set the price, including the width and height, the material and colour, the glass and any side panels, along with any building work. Each door is made to measure, so Kenny visits to survey before quoting. That costs you nothing, and like for like we are rarely beaten on price.
