French Doors in Trowbridge
Trowbridge was built on woollen cloth, and its older streets still show it, from the Bath stone fronts of Fore Street to the three-storey weavers’ terraces of Newtown. On houses like these, a pair of French doors usually suits the tall, narrow proportions far better than a wide run of glass.
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, sealed against the weather without a big step. Kenny surveys every opening himself and our own team does every installation, about 22 miles from Shaftesbury.
French Doors for Trowbridge’s Terraces and Townhouses
Behind many Victorian houses in Trowbridge, the kitchen opens onto a small yard or garden through a single back door. Replacing it, or a window beside it, with a pair of French doors lets in far more light while keeping the wall space the room needs.
The Newtown conservation area is mostly Victorian, and the weavers’ houses there from around 1790 are listed. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, Kenny will advise whether Wiltshire Council needs to approve the doors before anything is ordered.

French Doors in Trowbridge: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Trowbridge do you cover?
We cover Trowbridge, Hilperton, Hilperton Marsh, Staverton, Southwick, North Bradley, West Ashton and Semington, along with Shaftesbury and the surrounding area.
Do I need planning permission for French doors in Trowbridge?
Most of the time, no, because French doors in place of a back door or window are usually permitted development. The weavers’ houses in Newtown are listed and the area is a conservation area, and widening an opening needs Building Control. If that applies to you, Wiltshire Council may need to approve the doors first, and Kenny will advise.
Should my French doors open inwards or outwards?
Outward opening suits most Trowbridge homes, especially where the kitchen is small, as the doors fold back against the wall outside and take no room inside. They also seal tighter in the wind. On a balcony, or where the yard is very tight, inward opening may work better. Kenny will advise at the survey.
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 cost comes down to size, material, colour, glass, side panels and whether the opening needs to change, for example when a window becomes a pair of doors. Kenny surveys and quotes in writing for free, and like for like, we are rarely beaten on price.
