Bifold & Patio Door Installation
Bifold & Patio Doors That Open Up Your Living Space
Create a seamless connection between your home and garden with stunning bifold or sliding patio doors. Flood your rooms with natural light, maximise your views, and add real value to your property.
Why Choose Us
What Sets Our Service Apart
Bifold doors fold neatly to one side, opening up to 90% of the doorway. Sliding patio doors glide effortlessly on smooth-running tracks without swinging into your living space. Both options are available in uPVC and aluminium, with slim sightlines that maximise your view. Whether you're planning a kitchen extension, orangery, or simply want to connect your living room to the garden, we have the expertise and product range to make it happen.
Maximise Natural Light
Floor-to-ceiling glazing floods your room with daylight, making even modest spaces feel open, airy, and dramatically larger than they are.
Slim Aluminium Sightlines
Our aluminium bifolds feature ultra-slim frames as narrow as 35mm that maximise glass area and minimise visual obstruction for uninterrupted views.
Smooth, Effortless Operation
Precision-engineered stainless steel rollers and tracks ensure your doors glide open and closed with minimal effort — every single time, for decades.
Superb Thermal Performance
Thermally broken aluminium frames and argon-filled sealed units deliver excellent insulation values, even with large expanses of glass.
Flexible Configurations
Choose from 2 to 6 panel bifolds opening left or right, with traffic doors for everyday access. Sliding patios available in 2, 3, or 4 pane configurations.
Weather Tested
Our bifold and patio doors are tested to withstand extreme wind loads, driving rain, and temperature fluctuations — essential for exposed British weather.
Adds Property Value
Bifold and patio doors are one of the most desirable features in modern homes. Estate agents consistently cite them as a top selling point for buyers.

Bifold vs Sliding Patio Doors — Which Is Right for You?
Both bifold and sliding patio doors create a stunning visual connection between your home and garden, but they work in different ways and suit different spaces. Bifold doors consist of multiple panels that fold and stack neatly to one side, opening up to 90% of the full width of the doorway. They're ideal when you want to completely remove the barrier between inside and outside — perfect for entertaining, summer living, and creating a truly open-plan feel. Sliding patio doors overlap each other on a track, typically opening 50% of the total width. They don't swing or fold into the room, making them ideal for spaces where floor area is at a premium. They're also generally more affordable than bifolds and offer slightly better thermal performance because fewer seals are needed. Our surveyors will help you weigh up the pros and cons for your specific layout and lifestyle.
Aluminium or uPVC — Choosing the Right Material
Aluminium is the premium choice for bifold and patio doors. It's incredibly strong, allowing for much slimmer frame profiles than uPVC — which means more glass and a more contemporary look. Aluminium is also available in any RAL colour, offering virtually unlimited design possibilities. Thermally broken aluminium profiles ensure excellent insulation despite the slim dimensions. uPVC bifold and patio doors offer excellent value and performance at a lower price point. Frames are slightly wider but insulation is comparable. Colour options are more limited than aluminium but still include popular choices like anthracite grey, black, white, and woodgrain effects. For most customers, the choice comes down to aesthetics and budget. Aluminium delivers the sleekest, most contemporary look. uPVC delivers outstanding performance at a more accessible price. Both are excellent choices and we'll help you decide.
Structural Considerations and Building Regulations
Installing bifold or patio doors often involves creating or widening a structural opening in an external wall. This typically requires a steel lintel or RSJ (rolled steel joist) above the opening to support the wall and roof load. Our surveyors are experienced in assessing structural requirements and can recommend structural engineers where calculations are needed. We handle the full process — from initial design through structural work to the final door installation. All our work complies with current building regulations and we provide the necessary certificates for your records. If you're adding bifolds as part of an extension or orangery project, we're happy to work alongside your builder to ensure a smooth, coordinated installation.
