French Doors in Shepton Mallet
The older streets of Shepton Mallet grew up around the wool and cloth trade, and many of its stone houses are tall and fairly narrow. On a house like that, a pair of French doors keeps the proportions right in a way a wide bifold often cannot, while still letting plenty of light into the room behind.
We fit French doors in uPVC, in our R9 timber-look range and in aluminium. Our sculptured French door system comes with our Storm Guard threshold, which keeps the weather out without a big step at the doorway. Kenny surveys every opening himself and our own team does every installation.
French Doors for Shepton’s Stone Houses
On the post-war and newer homes around the edge of town, French doors with a side panel either side are a popular swap for an old patio door. You get a proper pair of opening doors and keep the full width of glass, and Georgian bars can be added if they suit the house.
If your home is listed or sits within the Shepton Mallet conservation area, the style and material of new doors may need agreeing first. Kenny will advise whether Somerset Council needs to be involved before anything is ordered.

French Doors in Shepton Mallet: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Shepton Mallet do you cover?
We cover Shepton Mallet, Bowlish, Croscombe, Doulting, Pilton, Evercreech, Oakhill and Cranmore, along with Shaftesbury and the surrounding area.
Do I need planning permission for French doors in Shepton Mallet?
Rarely, because French doors in place of an existing rear door or window are usually permitted development. If your home is listed or in the Shepton Mallet conservation area, the style and material of new doors may need agreeing, and a wider opening needs Building Control. Kenny will tell you whether Somerset Council needs to be involved.
Should my French doors open inwards or outwards?
Outward opening is what most Shepton Mallet customers choose. The doors swing back against the wall, so a narrow room keeps its floor space, and the weather pushes them firmly onto their seals. Inward opening may suit a balcony or a cramped yard. Kenny will help you decide.
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?
The price is set by the size of the opening, the material and colour, the glass and any side panels, along with any work needed to the opening. Kenny surveys every job first and gives a written quote, both free. Like for like, we are rarely beaten on price.
