Bifold door specialists who actually live in the detail — covering Woking
If you've just had a new bifold delivered to a home in Woking, the install is what makes or breaks it. We work exclusively on folding-sliding systems, and we know how Edwardian semis, coastal bungalows and modern rear extensions behave once a heavy aluminium track sits on top of them.
Most weeks our diaries around Woking are split between brand-new supply-and-fit jobs on rear elevation replacements on 1930s semis, 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 Woking
We fit and repair bifolds across a wide spread of property types around Woking — from rear elevation replacements on 1930s semis, internal room dividers in open-plan flats, patio replacements where old French doors used to be through to loft and balcony bifold sets. Edwardian semis, coastal bungalows and modern rear 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 Woking
- rollers that have collapsed or jumped the track
- a draughty close where the brushes have worn flat
- water pooling on the inside of the threshold
- a top guide that's worked loose from the head track
- leaves that drag along the bottom track
- condensation between glass panes on a sealed unit
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 Woking say
"Older uPVC bifold in Woking 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."
"Got three quotes for a re-hang in Woking. 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 Woking 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 — Woking
+Aluminium, uPVC or timber — what suits a Woking home?
For most the south of England properties — especially the Edwardian semis we see across Woking — 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.
+Do you fit bifold doors I've bought myself?
Yes — a good share of the Woking 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.
+My bifold worked fine for years and suddenly won't close — what's going on in Woking?
In the south of England we see this pattern constantly. Properties in Woking — particularly Edwardian semis — 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 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 Woking 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.
+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 Woking site. If anything isn't right we sort it then and there.
+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 south of England after a few wet winters. Full reseal and re-align is a half-day job in most Woking homes.
