Bifold door specialists who actually live in the detail — covering Wokingham
Bifold doors are deceptively simple — until they aren't. In Wokingham, where Edwardian semis, coastal bungalows and modern rear 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 Wokingham 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 Wokingham
We fit and repair bifolds across a wide spread of property types around Wokingham — from rear kitchen extensions opening onto the garden, side-return extensions on Victorian terraces, patio replacements where old French doors used to be through to rear elevation replacements on 1930s semis. 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 Wokingham
- doors that won't fold flat against the wall
- a stiff or unresponsive shootbolt
- rollers that have collapsed or jumped the track
- a handle that won't lift far enough to throw the lock
- condensation between glass panes on a sealed unit
- a draughty close where the brushes have worn flat
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 Wokingham say
"One of my rentals in Wokingham 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."
"Got three quotes for a re-hang in Wokingham. 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 Wokingham. Arrived when they said they would, took the time to get the cill perfectly level, and the doors glide like silk. Properly impressed."
Frequently asked questions — Wokingham
+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 Wokingham site. If anything isn't right we sort it then and there.
+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 Edwardian semis around Wokingham 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.
+Aluminium, uPVC or timber — what suits a Wokingham home?
For most the south of England properties — especially the Edwardian semis we see across Wokingham — 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.
+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 Wokingham homes.
+What's the workmanship guarantee?
Every Wokingham 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 Wokingham 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.
