French door quotes for Norwich homes and gardens
Norwich gardens tend to sit at the back of long Victorian terraces and Eaton Park semis, where a French door pair opens the kitchen or dining room onto the lawn without the width demands of bifolds. Our comparison service pulls three quotes from FENSA or CERTASS installers who work across NR1 to NR6 and know the ground conditions on Norfolk clay.
Why locals in Norwich choose Legacy Windows

- Low-threshold and Part M compliant options are available where step-free access is needed.
- Installers on our panel handle building control notification through FENSA or CERTASS, so no local authority filing is required from you.
- Quotes are itemised so you can see frame, glass, threshold and fitting costs separately.

Frequently asked questions
Do French doors need planning permission in Norwich? For most unlisted homes outside conservation areas, French doors replacing an existing window or door fall under permitted development. Listed buildings and Article 4 streets in central Norwich require consent from Norwich City Council; check the planning portal before ordering.
What is the difference between French doors and patio doors? French doors open outwards or inwards on hinges as a pair, giving a wide unobstructed clear opening. Patio doors slide horizontally on a track, taking less swing space. French doors suit narrower openings; sliders suit wider spans without pillars.
Are aluminium French doors worth the extra cost? Aluminium frames are slimmer, stronger and lighter than UPVC, so they suit larger openings without sagging. Expect to pay 30 to 50 percent more than an equivalent UPVC pair. On smaller openings, UPVC is often the better value.
