French Doors in Wimborne
Wimborne Minster is a little over twenty miles from Shaftesbury, and we regularly fit windows and doors in the town and the villages around it. Away from the historic centre, much of the area is made up of 1930s and post-war homes in Colehill, Merley and Corfe Mullen, and French doors suit them very well.
On a 1930s house, a pair of French doors in our R9 timber-look range keeps the character of the property, while on a post-war home a white or grey uPVC pair is a practical, good-looking choice. Kenny surveys every opening himself and our own team carries out every installation.
French Doors for Wimborne’s Family Homes
Many homes in Wimborne have a back door and window side by side, and combining them into one opening with French doors and a side panel transforms the room. We can arrange the lintel and making good as part of the same job.
The centre of Wimborne around the Minster is a conservation area with many listed buildings. If your home is one of them, Kenny will advise on whether Dorset Council needs to give consent.

French Doors in Wimborne: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Wimborne do you cover?
We cover Wimborne Minster, Colehill, Merley, Corfe Mullen, Sturminster Marshall, Pamphill, Furzehill and Holt, along with Shaftesbury and the surrounding area.
Do I need planning permission for French doors in Wimborne?
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.
