French Doors in Wincanton
Much of central Wincanton was rebuilt after fires in 1707 and 1747, and the Georgian houses and old coaching inns around the Market Place still set the tone of the town. On homes like these, a well-proportioned pair of French doors often looks far more at home 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 comes with our Storm Guard threshold, which seals out the weather without leaving a big step to trip over. Both doors open fully, so on a warm day the room can be opened wide to the garden.
French Doors for Wincanton’s Older and Newer Homes
On the later 20th-century homes around Balsam, Shadwell and Carrington Way, French doors with a side panel either side are a popular way to replace a tired patio door. Kenny surveys every opening himself, and our own team fits every set.
The town centre has been a conservation area since 1988 and has around a hundred listed buildings. If your home is one of them, Kenny will advise whether Somerset Council needs to approve the doors before anything is ordered.
Our Range
French Doors
Our French doors open the full width of the frame and come in uPVC, aluminium or our R9 timber-look range, with Georgian bars to sit well beside Wincanton’s Georgian fronts and side panels for wider openings.

French Doors in Wincanton: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Wincanton do you cover?
We cover Wincanton, Bayford, Charlton Musgrove, Stoke Trister, Cucklington, Shepton Montague and Horsington, along with Shaftesbury and the surrounding area.
Do I need planning permission for French doors in Wincanton?
For the most part, no. Replacing a back door or window with French doors normally counts as permitted development. Wincanton’s centre has been a conservation area since 1988, with around a hundred listed buildings, so in the older streets it is worth checking. If your house is listed, the doors face the street or the opening is being widened, Somerset Council or Building Control may need to be involved.
Should my French doors open inwards or outwards?
Outward opening suits most Wincanton homes. Once opened, the doors sit against the outside wall, the room stays clear and in rough weather they close tighter against their seals. Inward opening can work better above a balcony or where a patio set sits next to the step. Kenny will happily show you both.
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 size of the doors, the material and colour, the glass and any side panels all affect the price, and so does any change to the opening. As every pair is made to measure, Kenny surveys before he quotes. There is no charge for either, and we are rarely beaten on price for a genuine like-for-like quotation.
