French door cost
French doors are a popular way to open a room onto a garden or patio, and their price is easier to understand once you separate the door set from the fitting. As a typical French door prices guide, a uPVC set sits in the region of £1,200–£2,400 supplied and fitted, with aluminium and larger openings sitting higher.
Typical French door ranges
| French door type | Typical supply & fit |
|---|---|
| Standard uPVC French doors | £1,200–£1,900 |
| uPVC with side panels | £1,700–£2,400 |
| Aluminium French doors | £2,200–£3,500 |
These are typical ranges, not quotes. Toughened safety glazing is standard on doors, and the figure includes the threshold and making good around the new frame.
What the price includes
A French door quote usually covers the door set itself, toughened double glazing, the frame, handles and a multi-point locking system, plus fitting, the threshold and making good. Where an existing window is being widened into a doorway, or a lintel is involved, expect additional structural cost that a survey will identify.

- Material: aluminium sits above uPVC for its slim frames and strength.
- Size and side panels: wider openings and glazed side panels add to the figure.
- Glazing: triple glazing or laminated glass for security raises the price.
- Structural work: creating a new opening or fitting a lintel adds labour and materials.
