French doors for Hanwell homes

The housing in Hanwell is largely Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis. 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.

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. Georgian and Regency homes historically used French doors onto gardens, so traditional glazing bars and suitable colours help new ones sit well in a conservation area.

The Great Western Main Line and Elizabeth line cross the viaduct, and Uxbridge Road is busy, so homes near either benefit from acoustic glazing. Some streets are in conservation areas, so we confirm what Ealing Council expects before quoting. At about 14.5 miles from our Edmonton factory, Hanwell is one of the further places we cover, but the whole job still stays with one team.

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
  • Side panels can add extra light

Questions from Hanwell

Do I need planning permission for french doors in Hanwell?

Some streets in Hanwell fall within conservation areas, so we check with Ealing Council before quoting. 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 Hanwell?

Lead times vary by product and workload — confirmed with your quote. Being about 15 miles from our factory makes surveys, fitting days and aftercare visits easy to arrange.

Should French doors open inwards or outwards?

Outward-opening French doors are most common in the UK, as they save internal space and seal well against the weather. Inward opening can suit balconies or tight patios. We'll look at your room, patio and any steps outside before recommending the best arrangement.

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 15 miles from Hanwell. We can also bring samples to your home in Hanwell at the free survey.
