On new-build estates such as Nether Poppleton and Osbaldwick, UPVC and aluminium French doors are already standard.

Areas we cover around York

On the 1930s Acomb and Heworth semis, rear French doors typically fit existing openings without brickwork changes. Inside the walls and in Bishophill, The Groves and Fishergate, timber or timber-effect finishes and heritage glazing bars may be required for street-visible openings. We also cover nearby Harrogate, Selby, Malton, Tadcaster and Leeds.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for rear French doors in York? On non-listed properties outside the historic core, no — permitted development covers replacement of an existing rear door. Inside the York Central Historic Core Conservation Area, planning consent is normally required, and Listed Buildings always need Listed Building Consent.
Timber or UPVC French doors on a Bishophill frontage? On any Listed Building or historic principal elevation, timber is the standard requirement. UPVC is unlikely to be approved by the City of York Council conservation officer.
Can I get double doors on a narrow terrace rear? Yes. Standard sets from 1200mm to 1800mm suit most York terrace openings, with side lights available where the opening is wider.
