I would like french doors to the garden in place of the window but want the window moving to the current back door position if that makes sense.
I have seen a pair of french doors in b&q for about 150 pound but we are not skilled enough to fit them, is there a profession that solely FITS upvc? what trade would i call to fit them?
I am aware the french doors would be about 1k to supply and fit, does this include knocking a hole through the wall to house the doors or do these companies assume you are looking to replace existing doors?
Will these companies also be able to remove my existing back door and replace it with a window? as it would mean partially bricking to door recess
Thanx in advance

I have just fitted the wickes French door set 4 foot wide £239 ver impressed with quality you could buy something like these and get a local builder handyman to fit .Dont forget if you want to be all legal and above board you now have to inform your local building control of intended works especially if you are creating a new opening0 -
