What sets our french doors apart in Witney.
Rebated Meeting Stile
The master and slave leaves close on a properly rebated overlap — not the flat butt-joint of conventional systems — sealing against draught, driving rain and forced entry.
Master & Slave Locking
Multi-point hook lock on the master leaf, shootbolt tops-and-bottoms on the slave. Slave sits fixed for daily use; both open together for parties and moving furniture.
Fully Glazed by Default
Single large pane per leaf, or Georgian-bar 15-light doors for period elevations. Any glass — obscured, laminated, acoustic — available.
Available in Three Materials
Painted timber-look composite for period cottages, thermally-broken aluminium for contemporary rear extensions, or A-rated uPVC for straightforward replacement.
Side-Lights & Fanlights
Add narrow side lights and an arched fanlight above and the pair reads as a full glazed threshold — the standard for garden-facing rooms.

Common questions from Witney homeowners.
- Do you install french doors in Witney?
- Yes — South East Windows & Doors installs french doors across Witney (OX28 – OX29) and the wider Oxfordshire area every week. Every project is surveyed, manufactured and installed by our own teams.
- How long does french doors installation take in Witney?
- Most Witney projects run to a two-to-eight week lead time from signed quote to install, depending on manufacture. Once on site, a typical french doors install completes in one to five working days with full dust-sheet protection and clean-down.
- Do you handle conservation-area planning in Witney?
- Oxfordshire combines designated heritage areas, AONB villages and new-build growth. Our painted flush casements and slim aluminium bifolds balance conservation sensitivities with modern thermal performance. We prepare planning-ready drawings with matched sightlines, glazing-bar depths and hardware for Witney projects that require them.
- What guarantee covers french doors in Witney?
- Every french doors installation in Witney is covered by our insurance-backed 10-year guarantee — parts, labour and finish. Aftercare is direct with the installing team, not a call centre.
- Can I see recent french doors work near Witney?
- Yes — we can share recent french doors case studies from across Oxfordshire, including projects in Ducklington, Curbridge and neighbouring towns. Ask your surveyor at the on-site visit.
- French doors or bifold doors?
- French doors are the traditional answer for openings up to about 1.8m — a pair of full-glazed leaves that swing open on a rebated stile. Beyond that width, bifolds or sliders take over. French doors also look right on period elevations where bifolds don't.
- Do both leaves open?
- Yes. The slave leaf is held closed by shootbolts top and bottom; release them and it swings open for parties, garden furniture and moving-in day. The master leaf has the multi-point lock and everyday handle.
- Are they secure with two leaves?
- Yes — the rebated meeting stile plus master multi-point plus slave shootbolts are collectively more secure than a single door. Every French door we fit is PAS 24 accredited.
