Bifold door specialists who actually live in the detail — covering Corby
If you've just had a new bifold delivered to a home in Corby, the install is what makes or breaks it. We work exclusively on folding-sliding systems, and we know how brick semis, village cottages and contemporary kitchen extensions behave once a heavy aluminium track sits on top of them.
Most weeks our diaries around Corby are split between brand-new supply-and-fit jobs on rear elevation replacements on 1930s semis, and repair calls on tired sets fitted years ago by builders who treated a folding door like an oversized French door. Both jobs need the same thing: patience, the right shims and an obsessive feel for level.
Where we work in Corby
We fit and repair bifolds across a wide spread of property types around Corby — from rear elevation replacements on 1930s semis, rear kitchen extensions opening onto the garden, knock-through living-dining spaces through to patio replacements where old French doors used to be. Brick semis, village cottages and contemporary kitchen extensions all bring their own quirks, and we adjust the install accordingly rather than forcing one method onto every reveal.
Common bifold problems we see around Corby
- stiff intermediate hinges that need re-greasing or replacing
- a handle that won't lift far enough to throw the lock
- panels that scrape each other as they fold
- a top guide that's worked loose from the head track
- water pooling on the inside of the threshold
- leaves that drag along the bottom track
If any of that sounds familiar, don't replace the whole door. Most of these are an hour or two of careful work with the right parts.
Systems we work with
We're system-agnostic and confident across every major aluminium and uPVC bifold brand on the UK market, including Schüco, Aluk, SunSeeker, Smart Visofold, Reynaers and Origin. If you've inherited a set and don't know the make, send a couple of photos through the quote form and we'll identify it.

What customers around Corby say
"Older uPVC bifold in Corby that had started to drag and let in draughts. New rollers, fresh seals, doors realigned — back to feeling like a quality piece of kit. Thank you."
"We've specified bifolds on a few projects around Corby and the install quality varies wildly. This team's finish is the best I've seen — square reveals, flush leaves, tidy seals."
"Got three quotes for a re-hang in Corby. The other two wanted to replace the whole set; this lot fixed it for a fraction of the price and explained exactly what they were doing as they went."
Frequently asked questions — Corby
+My bifold worked fine for years and suddenly won't close — what's going on in Corby?
In the East Midlands we see this pattern constantly. Properties in Corby — particularly brick semis — settle a few millimetres over the seasons, the bottom track stops sitting flat, and the master leaf drops on its hinges. Nine times out of ten it's a worn roller, a dropped hinge cassette or a top guide that's worked loose in the head track. All fixable in a single visit without replacing the door.
+Do you fit bifold doors I've bought myself?
Yes — a good share of the Corby jobs we take on are client-supplied. Origin, Smart Visofold and Visoglide, Schüco, Reynaers, Sunflex, ID Systems — all fine. We inspect on arrival, check the leaf count and handing against your opening, and flag anything (missing trickle vents, wrong threshold, damaged corner joints) before we start cutting.
+My bifold is draughty and lets water in — can it be fixed without replacing it?
Almost always, yes. Worn brush seals along the leaf edges and a flattened gasket at the cill are the usual cause — both are replaceable parts. We also check the drainage slots in the threshold haven't blocked, which is a very common issue in the East Midlands after a few wet winters. Full reseal and re-align is a half-day job in most Corby homes.
+Can you fix a bifold that's been badly fitted by a builder in Corby?
Most weeks, that's exactly what we're doing somewhere in Corby. Common culprits: cill not packed level, head track not fixed through to lintel, hinges bedded into silicone instead of metal-to-metal, brushes left out of the cill ends. We diagnose what the previous fitter missed and put it right without ripping the whole set out — saves you the cost of replacement on brick semis.
+What's the workmanship guarantee?
Every Corby install and repair carries our written workmanship guarantee covering alignment, sealing and locking gear. Supply-and-fit jobs also get the full manufacturer warranty on the door system itself (typically 10 years on aluminium frames and 5 years on moving parts, depending on brand).
+Do you cover Corby and the surrounding villages?
Yes — Corby itself and the wider the East Midlands postcode area. If you're in a smaller village or hamlet just outside Corby and not sure, drop your postcode into the quote form and we'll confirm before quoting.
