French doors for Oakwood homes
Homes in Oakwood are mostly 1930s semis, detached houses and purpose-built maisonettes. 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.
Many owners here want to keep the 1930s character, so we can add Georgian bars or leaded designs to new casements and rebuild bays to their original shape. Our Edmonton factory is about 4.7 miles away, so fitting days and any follow-up visits are easy to schedule.
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 Oakwood
Do I need planning permission for french doors in Oakwood?
Most Oakwood homes can have like-for-like replacements without planning permission, but some nearby streets fall within Enfield Council conservation areas, 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 Oakwood?
Lead times vary by product and workload — confirmed with your quote. Being about 4.7 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 Oakwood, 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 4.7 miles from Oakwood. We can also bring samples to your home in Oakwood at the free survey.
