Bifold door specialists who actually live in the detail — covering Gloucester
Bifold doors are a precision product fitted into imperfect openings. Around Gloucester, where you'll find everything from Georgian townhouses, Bath stone semis and Cotswold-style extensions, our job is to bridge that gap — squaring the cill, packing the head and dialling in each leaf so it lands exactly where the manufacturer intended.
Most weeks our diaries around Gloucester are split between brand-new supply-and-fit jobs on café-style commercial frontages, 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 Gloucester
We fit and repair bifolds across a wide spread of property types around Gloucester — from café-style commercial frontages, summerhouse and garden-office openings, rear elevation replacements on 1930s semis through to garden-room and orangery conversions. Georgian townhouses, Bath stone semis and Cotswold-style 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 Gloucester
- a draughty close where the brushes have worn flat
- panels that scrape each other as they fold
- water pooling on the inside of the threshold
- condensation between glass panes on a sealed unit
- stiff intermediate hinges that need re-greasing or replacing
- 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 Origin, Smart Visoglide, Schüco, Reynaers, Aluk and Express Bi-Folds.

What customers around Gloucester say
"I sub the bifold install out on most of my extensions. Honest pricing, clean work and they don't try to upsell my clients. That's all I ask for."
"Older uPVC bifold in Gloucester 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."
"Got three quotes for a re-hang in Gloucester. 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 — Gloucester
+Can you fix a bifold that's been badly fitted by a builder in Gloucester?
Most weeks, that's exactly what we're doing somewhere in Gloucester. 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 Georgian townhouses.
+Will you tidy up afterwards?
Always. Dust sheets down, vacuum on, off-cuts and packaging leave with us, and we run a full fold-and-close test with you before we leave the Gloucester site. If anything isn't right we sort it then and there.
+What's the workmanship guarantee?
Every Gloucester 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 Gloucester and the surrounding villages?
Yes — Gloucester itself and the wider the south west postcode area. If you're in a smaller village or hamlet just outside Gloucester and not sure, drop your postcode into the quote form and we'll confirm before quoting.
+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 south west after a few wet winters. Full reseal and re-align is a half-day job in most Gloucester homes.
+Why won't my bifold lock properly any more?
Usually the shootbolt isn't reaching its keep because the leaves have dropped by a few millimetres — so the bolt strikes the edge of the keep instead of dropping into it. On Gloucester jobs we re-align the leaves first, then re-position the keeps. If the gearbox itself has failed we replace it as an OEM part, not a generic.
