Has anyone had a french door put in?

If so could you give me an idea how much it costs? We are thinking of having the playroom window taken out and french doors put in, but dont have a clue how much we'd be looking at. I will get some people in to quote but I hate feeling pressurised by salesmen :panic: so I wondered if any of you have had it done?

It would mean moving a radiator too, but that shouldnt be a major job hopefully.

It would be great if its affordable as I could let the kids have proper freeflow :clapping: , which is impossible at the minute as the only access to the garden is through the kitchen, which is where my puppy is during the day.

We have had it done but we did it all ourselves hubby is very handy with diy, we bought the patio door from B & Q which was around £250 I think and we then did the rest and my uncle helped out as well.

Sorry not much help really but it will make such a different so it you can afford it I would def go for it. :clapping:

thanks Lorraine :thumbsup:

DH suggested having a go himself but I dont trust him so would rather pay out :laughing:

Our builder charged £650 plus the door and window (Only cut out half of the wall below the old window - so i could still get air into the playroom) which was about £600, also included moving and fitting a new radiator.

It is brilliant as the kids can now get outside from the playroom.

We had a quote a couple of months ago to remove old patio door and put in french doors which was £930.00, that was from a company
We did have this done but my DH knows a friend who works for a window company and we got it trade and only paid £670 all done :)

We are having two sets of Patio doors done at the moment.

One just two doors for the playroom and the other two doors and a window.

They are part of a big new extension we are having built. All I know is that all the new windows 23 of them (that includes replacing all the windows in the existing house) and the 2 Patio doors cost a total of £6100 so the patio doors are not too expensive.

Ours cost about £700, but that was about 5 years ago.

we had our doorway widened and french doors put in and a window put in to increase natural light and it came to £1350
