French Doors in Wilton
Wilton was the county town of Wiltshire for centuries, and the streets around the Market Square and West Street still hold a good number of Georgian and early Victorian houses in red brick. On houses like these, a pair of French doors usually sits better than a wide sliding or folding door, because it keeps the proportions of the back 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 suit. Our sculptured French door system comes with our Storm Guard threshold, which keeps the weather out without a big step. Kenny surveys every opening himself, and our own team does every installation.
French Doors for Wilton’s Older Streets
We recently fitted steel-look aluminium French doors in Salisbury, just along the road, and that dark, steel-look finish can look very smart on a Victorian brick house or a modern extension in Wilton. On a newer house on the edge of town, a pair with a side panel either side is a good replacement for an old patio door.
Wilton has a long list of listed buildings, from cob and thatch cottages at Ditchampton to the brick houses in the centre. If yours is one of them, or sits in a conservation area, Kenny will check whether Wiltshire Council needs to approve the doors before anything is ordered.
Our Range
French Doors
A pair of opening doors in uPVC, aluminium or our R9 timber-look range, which can take Georgian bars to echo the windows of a Wilton brick house, plus side panels if the opening allows.
French Doors Fitted Properly in Wilton
We are a small, careful firm and we plan our weeks so nothing is rushed. This is what Wilton customers can expect from start to finish.
Fitted by Our Own Team
Only our own team fits our doors. They protect your floors and furnishings, keep the work area tidy throughout and leave the house clean when they go.
Secure as Standard
Toughened safety glass, high-security cylinders and multi-point locking are all included on our French doors as a matter of course.
FENSA Registered
We hold FENSA registration, which means we self-certify your new doors to Building Regulations and you receive the certificate afterwards.
French Doors in Wilton: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Wilton do you cover?
We cover Wilton, Ditchampton, Bulbridge, Quidhampton, Netherhampton, Burcombe, South Newton and Great Wishford, along with Shaftesbury and the surrounding area.
Do I need planning permission for French doors in Wilton?
Usually no planning application is needed, since swapping a back door or window for French doors is normally permitted development. Wilton has many listed buildings and a conservation area, though, and widening an opening needs Building Control. Where any of that applies, Wiltshire Council may have to give consent, and Kenny will let you know at his visit.
Should my French doors open inwards or outwards?
In Wilton, as elsewhere, outward opening is the popular choice. The doors sit back flat against the wall, take nothing from the room and close tighter when the wind blows. Inward opening suits a Juliet balcony or a patio crowded with planters. Kenny will show you how each option works on your house.
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 price depends on the size and shape of the opening, the frame material and colour, the glazing and any side panels, plus whether the brickwork needs altering. Kenny surveys and quotes for free, and we are rarely beaten on price for a genuine like-for-like quotation.
