Bifold door specialists who actually live in the detail — covering Shenstone
If you've just had a new bifold delivered to a home in Shenstone, the install is what makes or breaks it. We work exclusively on folding-sliding systems, and we know how 1930s semis, canalside conversions and modern extensions behave once a heavy aluminium track sits on top of them.
Most weeks our diaries around Shenstone are split between brand-new supply-and-fit jobs on loft and balcony bifold sets, 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 Shenstone
We fit and repair bifolds across a wide spread of property types around Shenstone — from loft and balcony bifold sets, summerhouse and garden-office openings, side-return extensions on Victorian terraces through to knock-through living-dining spaces. 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 Shenstone
- stiff intermediate hinges that need re-greasing or replacing
- leaves that drag along the bottom track
- panels that scrape each other as they fold
- doors that won't fold flat against the wall
- a stiff or unresponsive shootbolt
- the master door dropping on its hinges
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 Smart Visoglide, Smart Visofold, Origin, Schüco, ID Systems and Solarlux. 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 Shenstone say
"Older uPVC bifold in Shenstone 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."
"Had a new aluminium set fitted as part of a kitchen extension in Shenstone. 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 Shenstone. 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 — Shenstone
+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 Shenstone homes.
+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 Shenstone site. If anything isn't right we sort it then and there.
+Do you cover Shenstone and the surrounding villages?
Yes — Shenstone itself and the wider the West Midlands postcode area. If you're in a smaller village or hamlet just outside Shenstone and not sure, drop your postcode into the quote form and we'll confirm before quoting.
+What's the workmanship guarantee?
Every Shenstone 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).
+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 Shenstone 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.
+Aluminium, uPVC or timber — what suits a Shenstone home?
For most the West Midlands properties — especially the 1930s semis we see across Shenstone — aluminium is the right call: slim sightlines, strong enough for wide 4–6 leaf runs, and almost zero maintenance. uPVC makes sense on narrower 2–3 leaf openings where budget matters more than sightlines. Timber is the choice for character properties (conservation areas, period extensions) but expect to re-finish every few years.
