French and patio door quotes for Glasgow semis, extensions and main-door flats
Opening a rear kitchen or dining room onto the garden is a common Glasgow project — in the interwar semis of Bearsden and Cardonald, in the postwar bungalows of Newlands, and in main-door tenement conversions that own the ground-floor back green. Each setting picks a different door type. Legacy Windows is a quote comparison service that matches you with vetted installers who quote itemised prices under Scottish Building Standards, from UPVC French sets to aluminium bifolds.

Frequently asked questions
Can I fit French doors on a B-listed tenement rear elevation? Sometimes — rears often have more latitude than fronts, but LBC is still required. Timber-framed doors matched to existing window profiles are the usual approved spec. Approval is more likely when the doors face an internal court rather than a public street.
French, patio or bifolds for a typical Newton Mearns extension? Openings under 2m suit French doors with fixed side lights. 2.0-2.4m works for two-panel sliding patio doors. Above 3m — common in Newton Mearns and Bearsden kitchen-diner projects — aluminium bifolds in three or four panels are the norm. Sightlines and threshold height belong in every quote.
Typical Glasgow prices? UPVC French doors £1,150 to £1,800 fitted; aluminium sliders £1,900 to £2,500; three-panel aluminium bifolds £2,400 to £2,820 depending on frame colour and glass. Timber French sets for LBC jobs push toward £2,200 upwards.
