French doors for Cockfosters homes
Around Cockfosters you will mostly find 1930s semis, detached houses and purpose-built flats. 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.
In larger homes, French doors work well from dining rooms and studies onto terraces, and matching them to existing window styles keeps the house looking coherent. 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.
That is why bifold and sliding doors are popular requests, often alongside a full set of replacement windows and a new composite front door. We make all of these in Edmonton, about 5.5 miles away. The person who measures your home works with the team who builds and fits it, so nothing gets lost in between.
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
- Both leaves open fully for access
- Available in uPVC and aluminium
Questions from Cockfosters
Do I need planning permission for french doors in Cockfosters?
Most Cockfosters homes can have like-for-like replacements, but some streets are within Enfield Council conservation areas and Trent Park is protected, 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 Cockfosters?
Lead times vary by product and workload — confirmed with your quote. Being about 5.5 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 Cockfosters, 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 5.5 miles from Cockfosters. We can also bring samples to your home in Cockfosters at the free survey.
