French and patio door quotes for Sheffield terraces, semis and new extensions
Opening up the back of a Sheffield stone terrace or 1930s semi onto the garden is one of the most common home improvements in the city, and the options split three ways: traditional French doors for narrower openings, sliding patio doors for wider ones, and bifolds where the aperture is being knocked through as part of a rear extension. Legacy Windows is a quote comparison service that matches you with vetted installers who quote itemised prices covering the door set, threshold, glass unit and Part L compliance.

Frequently asked questions
French doors, patio doors or bifolds — what fits a typical Sheffield rear return? Most rear extensions on Ecclesall Road terraces open at 1.8-2.4m wide, which suits either French doors with a fixed side panel, or two-panel sliding patio doors. Bifolds work above 3m, common in modern kitchen-diner extensions in Dore and Ranmoor. Your installer should measure the aperture squareness before quoting — Sheffield stone reveals rarely sit true.
Do I need building control sign-off for a new opening? Yes. Cutting a new opening in a load-bearing wall is Building Regulations work regardless of the door type. Your installer’s quote should note whether they handle the structural calc and lintel spec or whether that is your builder’s job.
What price should I expect? Standard UPVC French doors sit between £1,150 and £1,800 fitted; aluminium patio sliders around £1,900 to £2,500; three-panel aluminium bifolds £2,500 to £2,800 depending on frame colour and glass spec. Toughened Part K glass is included in a compliant quote.
