Bifold door specialists who actually live in the detail — covering Greenwich
A well-hung bifold should fold flat, glide silently and seal tight when closed. Across Greenwich we see plenty of sets that do none of those things. With Victorian terraces, mansion-block flats and side-return kitchen extensions dominating the housing stock, the fix is almost always in the detail rather than the door itself.
Most weeks our diaries around Greenwich are split between brand-new supply-and-fit jobs on garden-room and orangery conversions, 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 Greenwich
We fit and repair bifolds across a wide spread of property types around Greenwich — from garden-room and orangery conversions, rear elevation replacements on 1930s semis, café-style commercial frontages through to internal room dividers in open-plan flats. Victorian terraces, mansion-block flats and side-return 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 Greenwich
- condensation between glass panes on a sealed unit
- doors that won't fold flat against the wall
- rollers that have collapsed or jumped the track
- leaves that drag along the bottom track
- panels that scrape each other as they fold
- a handle that won't lift far enough to throw the lock
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 Aluk, Schüco, Liniar, Sunflex, ID Systems and Smart Visofold. 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 Greenwich say
"Got three quotes for a re-hang in Greenwich. 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."
"Older uPVC bifold in Greenwich 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."
"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."
Frequently asked questions — Greenwich
+Do you fit bifold doors I've bought myself?
Yes — a good share of the Greenwich 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.
+How wide can a bifold run go on a Greenwich extension?
For aluminium systems on the kind of Victorian terraces we see across Greenwich, 6m–7m across 5 or 6 leaves is comfortable territory. Beyond that you're into commercial-grade frames or splitting the run with a fixed corner post. We'll spec the system at survey to match the opening — leaf weight and head deflection matter more than the headline maximum.
+Can you fix a bifold that's been badly fitted by a builder in Greenwich?
Most weeks, that's exactly what we're doing somewhere in Greenwich. 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 Victorian terraces.
+How long does a bifold installation take in Greenwich?
A straight swap into an existing opening on a typical Greenwich property is a single day on site. Where Victorian terraces are involved, expect closer to a day and a half because the reveal almost always needs squaring before the track goes down. Brand-new openings with structural work, or very wide 5+ leaf sets, run to two or three days. You get a realistic timeline at survey — never a guess.
+My bifold worked fine for years and suddenly won't close — what's going on in Greenwich?
In Greater London we see this pattern constantly. Properties in Greenwich — particularly Victorian terraces — 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.
+Why does my bifold drag along the bottom track?
It's almost always one of three things: collapsed bottom rollers (the bearings have failed), the master leaf has dropped on its hinges, or the track itself has bowed because the cill underneath isn't fully packed. On Victorian terraces around Greenwich the cill issue is the most common — the timber sub-frame compresses over a winter and the whole track sags. Re-pack, re-shim, fresh rollers and it glides again.
