Owners of older and character property

Written for owners of older and character property

For period stock the useful conversation is about profile choice, glazing bar options and colour, because those are what people notice from the street long after the U value is forgotten.

What matters most on this kind of job

Flush profiles that sit back into the reveal rather than proud of it
Careful removal so stone and render around the opening is not damaged
The frame perimeter is checked with a smoke pencil for airtightness before the internal trims go on.
The internal reveal is masked before any silicone runs, so the finished bead is a clean line against the plaster.

What we typically find on French doors surveys around here

·There is a hairline crack running diagonally from the top corner of one bathroom pane where the frame has twisted.
·One sash sits proud of the frame by 2mm along the top rail — a factory manufacturing tolerance that never got addressed.
·Every kitchen window handle has been replaced twice in ten years — a sign the espag is going, not just the handle.
·The outer frame has moved fractionally over the years, dropping the bottom hinge screw pattern out of line.
·A previous owner has fitted a chain to the front door on top of the multipoint — a sign they never trusted the lock.
·The concrete cill under the door has heaved by 3mm across the two-metre span, tilting the whole threshold.
·The cill end-cap has fallen off and the cill chamber is now a home for insects.
·One kitchen unit has a defrost trace across the low-e coating — the argon fill has been gone a while.
·The transom bar has a live crack in the plastic, opened up by summer expansion cycles.
·The bathroom pane is patterned glass from the original build, and the pattern is no longer a current stock line.
·The multipoint deadbolt still throws but the top hook has stopped catching and no one has noticed for months.
·The frame drainage slots at the bottom are clogged with debris, so rainwater sits inside the chamber.
·The escutcheon on the front door is loose and rotates as the key turns.
·The stay arm on the top vent has bent and no longer sits into its rest bracket cleanly.
·The multipoint keeps have worn a shallow groove where the hooks now catch — closing needs a lift-and-pull.
·The trickle-vent covers have been snapped off and taped over from inside.

Why residents are booking French doors right now

·The homeowner wants matt black hardware because everything inside the house is matt black — no chrome to argue with.
·The resident does not want to be sold to — they want a survey, a written figure, and to be left to decide.
·The owner has an ageing parent visiting for extended stays and wants the guest bedroom warmer than it currently is.
·The owner is done with the annual condensation season and wants the fabric of the openings to end it.
·The resident wants the patio door to slide with one finger — not the two-handed heave the current one takes.
·The owner is buying and wants to time the frame swap for the week between exchange and moving in.
·The resident wants the sliding door to open with a fingertip after ten years of use, not two hands after two.
·The buyer wants a written commitment on the sealant colour and the trim colour before any deposit changes hands.
·The buyer wants the whole job done by one team who own the outcome — not designed in one place and fitted in another.
·The buyer wants a genuine step-up in security, not a marketing claim — PAS24 tested, not PAS24 marketed.
·The resident has already had one failed installation and wants to know exactly how this one will differ.
·The owner is preparing the property for a rental switch and wants glazing to hit HMO fire-escape spec.
·The buyer wants a composite front door that reads more house-proud than the run of identical rentals on the road.
·The owner is having a kitchen refit next month and wants the patio door in first so the tiler works to a fitted threshold.
·The resident wants an installer who will honestly say when a repair beats a replacement.
·The buyer has just moved in and is fixing everything the vendor's homebuyer report flagged, in priority order.

How our fitters actually do the work

·The multipoint hooks are lightly greased after fitting, before the door is closed for the first time.
·The keeps for the multipoint are set with the door open and the position marked, not adjusted by eye once the door is closed.
·The multipoint keeps get a smear of grease inside the pocket before the door is closed for the first time.
·The old handles are offered to the client before being binned — sometimes a chrome D-handle finds a shed door life.
·The old frame's fixing holes in the brick are filled and made good before the new outer frame beads up to the reveal.
·The client is left with the manufacturer's paperwork in a labelled envelope, not a folded receipt tucked inside a drawer.
·The door is closed, locked, and left overnight before final adjustment, so any settlement is captured before sign-off.
·The threshold has an EPDM strip continuous under the frame — not stitched together across the door width.
·The frame perimeter is checked with a smoke pencil for airtightness before the internal trims go on.
·The client is walked through the finished job with a printed operation card, not a rushed verbal handover.
·The perimeter tape between frame and reveal is a compressible foam tape, not a plain butyl strip.
·Trickle vents are drilled through the outer frame with a bespoke jig — not freehand with a spade bit.
·The dustsheet inside the room is a heavy canvas taped to the skirting, not a light plastic left loose.
·The cylinder key gets a keyring immediately, so it does not sit unnoticed in a jacket pocket for the day.
·The composite slab is not trimmed on site — if it doesn't fit, a new slab is ordered rather than reduced.
·The client's alarm sensors on the old frames are removed and returned to the client, not binned by default.
