French Doors in Sherborne
Sherborne is about sixteen miles from Shaftesbury along the A30, and its golden Ham stone houses are some of the loveliest we work on. A pair of French doors at the back of a stone house is often more in keeping than a wide bifold, and it lets in plenty of light without overpowering the building.
Around Castleton, Lenthay and the newer edges of town, French doors are a popular way to replace an old patio door. Kenny surveys every opening himself and our own team does every installation.
French Doors for Sherborne’s Stone Houses
Much of Sherborne is a conservation area and many buildings are listed, so the front of a town-centre stone house is rarely the place for new doors. At the back of an unlisted house they are usually straightforward, and Kenny will advise if Dorset Council needs to be involved.
Against Ham stone, our R9 timber-look French doors in a soft green, cream or anthracite grey tend to look best, and Georgian bars can be added to suit an older house.

French Doors in Sherborne: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Sherborne do you cover?
We cover Sherborne, Castleton, Milborne Port, Bradford Abbas, Yetminster, Longburton, Thornford and Oborne, along with Shaftesbury and the surrounding area.
Do I need planning permission for French doors in Sherborne?
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.
