Bifold door specialists who actually live in the detail — covering Halesowen
Bifold doors are a precision product fitted into imperfect openings. Around Halesowen, where you'll find everything from 1930s semis, canalside conversions and modern 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 Halesowen are split between brand-new supply-and-fit jobs on patio replacements where old French doors used to be, 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 Halesowen
We fit and repair bifolds across a wide spread of property types around Halesowen — from patio replacements where old French doors used to be, loft and balcony bifold sets, garden-room and orangery conversions through to side-return extensions on Victorian terraces. 1930s semis, canalside conversions and modern 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 Halesowen
- water pooling on the inside of the threshold
- a handle that won't lift far enough to throw the lock
- doors that won't fold flat against the wall
- a draughty close where the brushes have worn flat
- panels that scrape each other as they fold
- a top guide that's worked loose from the head 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.

What customers around Halesowen say
"Had a new aluminium set fitted as part of a kitchen extension in Halesowen. Arrived when they said they would, took the time to get the cill perfectly level, and the doors glide like silk. Properly impressed."
"Got three quotes for a re-hang in Halesowen. 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."
"One of my rentals in Halesowen had a bifold that wouldn't lock. Two other firms said it needed replacing. These guys diagnosed a worn gearbox in ten minutes and had it sorted the same week."
Frequently asked questions — Halesowen
+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 West Midlands after a few wet winters. Full reseal and re-align is a half-day job in most Halesowen homes.
+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 1930s semis around Halesowen 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.
+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 Halesowen 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.
+How long does a bifold installation take in Halesowen?
A straight swap into an existing opening on a typical Halesowen property is a single day on site. Where 1930s semis 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.
+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 Halesowen site. If anything isn't right we sort it then and there.
+How wide can a bifold run go on a Halesowen extension?
For aluminium systems on the kind of 1930s semis we see across Halesowen, 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.
