French doors for Coventry semis and postwar homes
The interwar semis of Chapelfields, Stivichall and Cheylesmore all sit on generous back gardens that suit a French door pair, and the postwar houses across CV2 and CV3 usually take an aluminium set well. Legacy Windows sends your brief to three Coventry door specialists who quote a fixed supply-and-fit price using UPVC, engineered timber or slim aluminium.

Frequently asked questions
Do French doors need planning permission in Coventry? Not usually if they replace an existing door or a window on a rear elevation under permitted development. Article 4 areas across pockets of Earlsdon and Chapelfields remove those rights, so a call to Coventry City Council planning is worth the ten minutes. Front and side elevations always merit a check.
How does the postwar concrete-frame stock affect the install? The 1950s and 1960s houses across CV2 and CV3 sometimes need Hilti chemical anchors into the concrete lintel rather than standard screw fixings. Our matched fitters price this into the quote where relevant.
Is a low threshold suitable for weather sealing in the West Midlands? Yes. A 15 mm accessible threshold with a drainage lip meets Part M and holds up in wind-driven rain when the door is on a sheltered rear elevation. Exposed sites are better served by the 60 mm standard threshold.
Windows and doors in Coventry - local context
The city centre was largely rebuilt in the 1950s after WWII bombing, giving Coventry an unusual mix of postwar modernist blocks alongside surviving Victorian terraces in Earlsdon and interwar semis in Chapelfields.
Dominant era of housing stock: Postwar rebuild in the centre, interwar and Victorian in the suburbs.
Heritage note: Around 20 conservation areas, mostly around surviving prewar suburbs.
