Most patio and French doors are £1,195–£1,895 including VAT, electric, supplied and fitted. Wide bifolds cost more; you get a fixed price after survey.
Is the survey free in Fareham?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Fareham are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for patio & bifold door roller shutters in Fareham?
It depends on the property. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
