Rules for french doors in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland sets replacement door limits through Technical Booklet F1 (2022): 1.8 W/m²K. Replacing external doors does not need full plans or a building notice, but the work must still comply; enlarging an opening or other structural change needs building control approval.
Planning: Check with your council planning office before changing the style, material or size of doors, and always for listed buildings, conservation areas and flats.
How it works
The surveyor measures every opening, checks ventilation, escape windows and safety-glass zones, and talks through styles. Your written quote lists each item with its glass build-up and U-value, and the price is fixed for that specification.
- Free survey and a written quote fixed for the specification
- Glass build-up and door U-value on every quote
- Written handover pack at the end of the job
- Guarantees on frames, units and fitting in writing
