French Doors in Wareham
After the fire of 1762 destroyed two thirds of the town, Wareham was rebuilt in Georgian brick along its old Saxon street pattern. On houses of that kind, a pair of French doors usually suits the proportions far better than a wide bifold, and keeps the back of the house in character.
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.
French Doors Inside and Outside the Walls
Outside the Saxon walls, the homes in Northport, Stoborough and Sandford are mostly newer, and French doors with a side panel either side are a popular replacement for an old patio door. We are about 22 miles away in Shaftesbury and cover the town and its villages.
Inside the walls, many buildings are listed, and Wareham’s conservation area also has an Article 4 direction, which can bring changes to doors and windows under planning control. Kenny will advise whether Dorset Council needs to approve new doors before anything is ordered.

French Doors in Wareham: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Wareham do you cover?
We cover Wareham, Northport, Stoborough, Sandford, Ridge, Worgret, Wool and Corfe Castle, along with Shaftesbury and the surrounding area.
Do I need planning permission for French doors in Wareham?
Outside the old town, usually not, as French doors in place of a rear door or window are normally permitted development. Inside the walls, many buildings are listed and the conservation area has an Article 4 direction, which can bring door changes under planning control. A wider opening also needs Building Control. Kenny will advise whether Dorset Council needs to approve anything.
Should my French doors open inwards or outwards?
Outward opening is the usual pick in Wareham. The doors rest back against the wall, so the room keeps its space, and the wind presses them onto their seals. Inward opening can suit a balcony or a courtyard close to the house. Kenny will run through both 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?
We cannot price without measuring, because size, material, colour, glass, side panels and any changes to the opening all affect the figure. Kenny’s survey and written quotation are free, and on a genuine like-for-like quotation we are rarely beaten on price.
