Bifold door specialists who actually live in the detail — covering Norwich
If you've just had a new bifold delivered to a home in Norwich, the install is what makes or breaks it. We work exclusively on folding-sliding systems, and we know how flint cottages, weatherboarded coastal homes and rear glass extensions behave once a heavy aluminium track sits on top of them.
Most weeks our diaries around Norwich are split between brand-new supply-and-fit jobs on summerhouse and garden-office openings, 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 Norwich
We fit and repair bifolds across a wide spread of property types around Norwich — from summerhouse and garden-office openings, garden-room and orangery conversions, patio replacements where old French doors used to be through to café-style commercial frontages. Flint cottages, weatherboarded coastal homes and rear glass 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 Norwich
- panels that scrape each other as they fold
- condensation between glass panes on a sealed unit
- the master door dropping on its hinges
- stiff intermediate hinges that need re-greasing or replacing
- rollers that have collapsed or jumped the track
- water pooling on the inside of the threshold
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 SunSeeker, ID Systems, Schüco, Centor, Smart Visofold and Reynaers. 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 Norwich 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."
"Had a new aluminium set fitted as part of a kitchen extension in Norwich. Arrived when they said they would, took the time to get the cill perfectly level, and the doors glide like silk. Properly impressed."
"We've specified bifolds on a few projects around Norwich and the install quality varies wildly. This team's finish is the best I've seen — square reveals, flush leaves, tidy seals."
Frequently asked questions — Norwich
+Do you cover Norwich and the surrounding villages?
Yes — Norwich itself and the wider the east of England postcode area. If you're in a smaller village or hamlet just outside Norwich and not sure, drop your postcode into the quote form and we'll confirm before quoting.
+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 flint cottages around Norwich 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.
+How wide can a bifold run go on a Norwich extension?
For aluminium systems on the kind of flint cottages we see across Norwich, 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.
+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 of England after a few wet winters. Full reseal and re-align is a half-day job in most Norwich homes.
+What's the workmanship guarantee?
Every Norwich 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).
+My bifold worked fine for years and suddenly won't close — what's going on in Norwich?
In the east of England we see this pattern constantly. Properties in Norwich — particularly flint cottages — 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.
