What happens after you enquire
Every job in the KY1 district follows the same steps: price online, survey, written quote, made-to-measure manufacture and fitting, to the Scottish building standards.
Approvals in Scotland
In Scotland, replacing a door like for like in a house does not usually need a building warrant, but the new door must still meet the Scottish building standards for energy and safety. Forming or widening an opening is different: that needs a building warrant from the council before work starts.
Sliding doors in Kirkcaldy: questions
Which sliding door suits a home in Kirkcaldy?
It depends on the opening and budget. uPVC is the lowest-cost option for openings up to about 3.6 m; aluminium gives slimmer frames and wider spans; slimline and lift and slide suit large, high-end openings. The survey in Kirkcaldy is the place to settle it.
Can you widen my opening in Kirkcaldy?
Yes. We can form or widen an opening for a larger sliding door, with structural calculations, a steel beam and Scottish approvals arranged. That work is quoted alongside the door.
Who fits the doors in Kirkcaldy?
Doors are fitted by installers we appoint and manage under our contract, so your contract and guarantees stay with us. The same surveyed specification goes from the quote to the factory to the fitters.
