French doors for Barkingside homes
The housing in Barkingside is largely 1930s semis, terraces, bungalows and flats above shops. On 1930s semis, replacing a rear window and the wall below with French doors needs a properly sized lintel, so the structural work must be planned and approved.
French doors suit Victorian back rooms and kitchen extensions where the opening is too narrow for bifolds, giving a full-width opening from two hinged leaves. French doors onto a Juliet balcony can bring light and air into upper-floor flats, but any change to the external opening may need freeholder and planning approval.
The jobs we see most often here are swapping tired 1980s and 1990s uPVC for modern A-rated windows, rebuilding bays, and adding a new porch or composite front door. Each frame is made to measure in our Edmonton factory, about 5.6 miles away, and fitted by the same team that surveyed it.
French doors are a pair of hinged doors that open together to connect a room with the garden, patio or balcony. Available in uPVC and aluminium, they suit homeowners wanting a wide, classic opening without the space needed by bifold or large sliding door systems.
- Wide, classic opening to the garden
- Available in uPVC and aluminium
- Side panels can add extra light
Questions from Barkingside
Do I need planning permission for french doors in Barkingside?
Most Barkingside houses can have replacement windows without planning permission, though Redbridge Council's rules apply to flats and changes to front elevations, so we check first. Replacing existing French doors or a back door on a house is usually permitted development and covered by FENSA, but forming a new or wider opening needs Building Regulations approval, and flats or listed buildings may need consent.
How soon can you fit french doors in Barkingside?
Lead times vary by product and workload — confirmed with your quote. Being about 5.6 miles from our factory makes surveys, fitting days and aftercare visits easy to arrange.
Can I replace a window with French doors?
Often, yes, but it means removing the wall below the window and possibly widening the opening, which needs a suitable lintel and Building Regulations approval. In flats, listed buildings and some conservation areas in Barkingside, planning permission may also be needed. We'll explain the process during the survey.
Can I see samples before I decide?
Yes. Our showroom is at Unit G, 1 Anthony Way, London N18 3QT (Mon–Fri 8am–5pm), about 5.6 miles from Barkingside. We can also bring samples to your home in Barkingside at the free survey.
