Each link opens local guide prices and details for Deal.
How much sun will a door in Deal get?
Because Deal sees long summer days (about 16 h 35 min) and short winter ones (about 7 h 52 min), the elevation your door faces makes a real difference. With the midday sun at about 15° in winter, a south-facing door brings light well into the room; a west-facing door catches hot late-afternoon sun in summer.
What happens after you enquire
Start with a guide price online or by phone. A surveyor then measures your opening in Deal, checks levels and the lintel, and you receive a fixed written quote. After you approve it, the door is made to measure and fitted, with the compliance certificate sent to you.
Approvals in England
English Building Regulations treat a new or replacement external door in an existing home as a controlled fitting: it needs a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or better (or Doorset Energy Rating band C) if more than 60% of it is glazed (Approved Document L), and safety glass in a critical location (Approved Document K). Compliance is arranged through a competent person scheme installer or a Building Control notification, so you get a certificate for your records.
Sliding doors in Deal: questions
Can you widen my opening in Deal?
Yes. We can form or widen an opening for a larger sliding door, with structural calculations, a steel beam and English approvals arranged. That work is quoted alongside the door.
Which sliding door suits a home in Deal?
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 Deal is the place to settle it.

Yes. We cover Deal and the surrounding CT14 district, as well as Sandwich, Dover and Ramsgate. If you are unsure, enter your postcode in the guide price tool.
