Rules for french doors in Scotland
Scotland sets replacement door limits through the Building Standards Technical Handbook (Domestic), section 6: 1.6 W/m²K. Replacing a door or window, frame and all, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.
Planning: A replacement door on a house that looks similar to the existing one is generally permitted development; check with your council for flats and conservation areas, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
How it works
We start with a survey, not a sales pitch: measurements, the structure above any bays, trickle-vent needs and escape windows. The quote that follows fixes the price, and anything unexpected on the day is agreed with you first.
- Every opening measured, including escape and vent needs
- Frames rated for the weight of triple glass
- Old windows removed and taken away
- Each opening closed up the same day
Questions from Inverness
Are French doors secure?
Modern French doors lock at multiple points on both leaves. We specify PAS 24 tested doorsets where available.
Do I need planning permission?
Replacing an existing door on a house is normally permitted development. Making a new opening is a structural change that may need approval; flats and listed buildings have their own rules.
