Replace French Patio Doors with Fixed Glass

[beheraece]

Hi,

I just purchased a house newbie in house/building related things. Also , i'm new into this website. So please excuse me if I have posted something
which I shouldn't be.

Due to various reasons I will need to block openings (Doors and Windows) in the wall to my property for a particular corner.

Hence, the french patio doors (Attached Image) needs to go away to make way for Fixed toughend glass.

My queries:

1) Is this change from Patio doors to Fixed glass the best solution? Alternative solution if there are any please suggest.
Just worried that by taking this door out and replacing a fixed glass might cause other damage to the property.

2) Cost involved in this exercise is £550 as per a quote from a builder. Is this justified?

3) I am hoping here, that I don't need to take any permission from council or organizations to carry out this task.

Regards,
KK

Cheaper to lock the door and throw away the key.

Get some quotes off Fensa registered window fitters as they will give you a Fensa certificate to avoid Building Control involvement.

Or as foxy said.

Shouldn't need planning permission but may cause problems with fire escape routes for building regs. As said get a local double glazing company to quote and they will know the escape route regs
