Heritage French door FAQs
Questions
Common questions before you compare quotes.
Door FAQs.
01Do French doors need planning permission?
Often not for like-for-like replacement, but conservation areas and listed buildings need extra checks - we flag this on survey.
02What are heritage French doors?
A hinged pair that meets in the middle, with proportions and bar detail suited to a period elevation rather than a folding patio wall.
03How much do French doors cost?
Timber, uPVC and aluminium pairs are priced separately. Width, glazing bars and the threshold move the quote more than the name French doors.
04French doors or bifold doors?
French doors keep two leaves and a classic meeting stile. Bifolds use more leaves when you want most of the opening to fold aside.
05Can you quote without visiting?
Yes. Send outside photographs, rough sizes and the number of openings for a first written price. The survey then confirms manufacture sizes, access, thresholds and finishing details before anything is ordered.
