French Doors in Somerton
Somerton is built largely of local lias with ham stone dressings, and many of its older houses have rear walls that suit a pair of French doors far better than a wide sheet of glass. French doors open the room to the garden while keeping the balance of the house.
We fit French doors in uPVC, in our R9 timber-look range and in aluminium, with side panels and Georgian bars where they help. Our sculptured French door system has our Storm Guard threshold, so it seals well against the weather without a high step. Kenny surveys every opening himself and our own team does every installation.
French Doors in Lias and Ham Stone
On a newer home on the edge of town, French doors with side panels make a good replacement for a tired patio door, giving you a proper pair of doors that open wide on a summer evening without losing any glass.
If your house is listed or in the Somerton conservation area, the design of new doors may need to be agreed first. Kenny will advise whether Somerset Council needs to be involved before anything is ordered.

French Doors in Somerton: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Somerton do you cover?
We cover Somerton, Lower Somerton, Hurcot, Compton Dundon, Kingsdon, Charlton Mackrell, Keinton Mandeville and Long Sutton, along with Shaftesbury and the surrounding area.
Do I need planning permission for French doors in Somerton?
In most cases, no, because French doors replacing a rear door or window are usually permitted development. Somerton has a conservation area and many listed buildings, where the design 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 the usual choice for our Somerton customers. The doors swing back flat against the stone, leave the room clear and close tight against wind and rain. Inward opening can suit a balcony or a patio with seating right by the door. Kenny will talk you through it.
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?
Price varies with the size, material, colour and glass, along with side panels and any changes to the opening. We make every pair to measure, so Kenny surveys before quoting, free of charge. On a genuine like-for-like quotation, we are rarely beaten on price.
