French Doors in Sturminster Newton
Sturminster Newton is about nine miles from Shaftesbury across the Blackmore Vale, and we fit windows and doors in and around the town all the time. We recently fitted white ash French doors with a matching window there, and it is a good example of how French doors suit the stone and brick cottages in this part of Dorset.
On newer homes towards Bath Road and the edge of town, French doors often replace an old sliding patio door. Kenny surveys every opening himself and our own team carries out every installation.
French Doors in the Blackmore Vale
Many homes around Sturminster Newton look out over open countryside, and a pair of French doors opening onto the garden makes the most of it without the cost of a wide new opening. Side panels can be added where there is room for more glass.
Parts of the town centre are a conservation area and some older properties are listed. If that applies to your home, Kenny will advise on whether Dorset Council needs to give consent.

French Doors in Sturminster Newton: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Sturminster Newton do you cover?
We cover Sturminster Newton, Hinton St Mary, Marnhull, Okeford Fitzpaine, Shillingstone, Fiddleford, Stalbridge and Hazelbury Bryan, along with Shaftesbury and the surrounding area.
Do I need planning permission for French doors in Sturminster Newton?
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.
