Bifold door specialists who actually live in the detail — covering Trowbridge
Bifold doors are deceptively simple — until they aren't. In Trowbridge, where Georgian townhouses, Bath stone semis and Cotswold-style extensions mean every reveal is a little different, getting the rollers, hinges and bottom track perfectly square is the difference between a door you love and a door you fight with every morning.
Most weeks our diaries around Trowbridge are split between brand-new supply-and-fit jobs on rear kitchen extensions opening onto the garden, 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 Trowbridge
We fit and repair bifolds across a wide spread of property types around Trowbridge — from rear kitchen extensions opening onto the garden, loft and balcony bifold sets, garden-room and orangery conversions through to internal room dividers in open-plan flats. 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 Trowbridge
- a draughty close where the brushes have worn flat
- condensation between glass panes on a sealed unit
- a stiff or unresponsive shootbolt
- the master door dropping on its hinges
- a top guide that's worked loose from the head track
- 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 Reynaers, Centor, Sunflex, Smart Visofold, Origin and Schüco. 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 Trowbridge say
"Got three quotes for a re-hang in Trowbridge. 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."
"Had a new aluminium set fitted as part of a kitchen extension in Trowbridge. 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 Trowbridge 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 — Trowbridge
+Do you fit bifold doors I've bought myself?
Yes — a good share of the Trowbridge 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.
+Can you fix a bifold that's been badly fitted by a builder in Trowbridge?
Most weeks, that's exactly what we're doing somewhere in Trowbridge. 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 Trowbridge site. If anything isn't right we sort it then and there.
+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 Trowbridge 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 Trowbridge home?
For most the south west properties — especially the Georgian townhouses we see across Trowbridge — 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.
+What's the workmanship guarantee?
Every Trowbridge 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).
