Rules for sliding patio doors in England
In England, replacement external doors must meet 1.4 W/m²K, or a door set energy rating of band C (more than 60% glazed) or band B (other doors). Replacement external doors fall under the same energy rules: a competent person scheme installer (such as FENSA or Certass) self-certifies the work and notifies the council, or a building control body approves it.
Planning: Replacing doors on a house is normally permitted development if the new ones look similar. Flats need planning permission for a change that alters their appearance, an Article 4 direction may mean permission is needed, 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 Lichfield
Can I have a level threshold?
Low thresholds are available; they need a suitable drainage detail outside, which we check on survey.
Do sliding doors need safety glass?
Yes, all door glass must be safety glass. Triple units in sliders are toughened or laminated.
Do I need permission for triple glazed sliding patio doors in Lichfield?
In England, a replacement door on a house that looks similar is normally permitted development; flats need permission if the change alters their appearance, Article 4 areas may need permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent. Check whether your street is in a conservation area or covered by an Article 4 direction before changing the style.
How long does it take to get triple glazed sliding patio doors fitted in Lichfield?
After the survey, typical manufacture time is 5 to 8 weeks, and a door is usually fitted in a day.
