French Doors in Street
Many of Street’s older houses were built of local Blue Lias stone during the years when the Clark family’s business was growing, and their rear openings tend to be narrow and upright. A pair of French doors keeps those proportions and still lets in plenty of light.
We fit French doors in uPVC, in our R9 timber-look range and in aluminium, with side panels and Georgian bars where they suit. Our sculptured French door system has our Storm Guard threshold, which keeps the weather out without a big step. Kenny surveys every opening himself, and our own team does every fitting.
French Doors for Blue Lias Homes
On a later semi or detached house, French doors with a side panel either side are a popular swap for an old slider, giving two proper opening doors without losing any glass. In aluminium, they also suit a modern extension.
Street has a number of listed buildings, including terraces built for the Clarks in the 1890s. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, Kenny will check whether Somerset Council needs to approve the doors first.

French Doors in Street: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Street do you cover?
We cover Street, Overleigh, Walton, Butleigh, Compton Dundon, Ashcott and Shapwick, along with Shaftesbury and the surrounding area.
Do I need planning permission for French doors in Street?
Usually you will not. Putting French doors in place of a rear door or window is generally permitted development. Some of Street’s houses are listed, including terraces built for the Clarks, and widening an opening needs Building Control. If that applies, or the doors face the street in a conservation area, Somerset Council may need to agree first. Kenny will check.
Should my French doors open inwards or outwards?
Outward opening is the common choice in Street. Open, the doors rest back against the wall and leave the room clear, and closed, the wind holds them firm against their seals. On a balcony, or where the patio is small, inward opening can be the better option. Kenny will explain both.
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 depends on the width and height, the material and colour, the glass, any side panels and whether the opening needs altering. Because each pair is made to measure, Kenny surveys before he quotes. Both are free, and we are rarely beaten on price for a genuine like-for-like quotation.
