Planning glass for the light in Kelso
At the latitude of Kelso, the midday sun climbs to about 58° in late June but only about 11° in late December, when daylight lasts around 7 h 02 min against 17 h 31 min in midsummer. A south-facing sliding door lets that low winter sun deep into the room; on a west or south elevation, solar-control glass keeps summer afternoons comfortable.
What happens after you enquire
In Kelso the process is simple: guide price, free survey, written quote, manufacture and fitting, to the Scottish building standards. Nothing is ordered until you confirm the surveyed specification in writing.
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 Kelso: questions
Who fits the doors in Kelso?
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.
Can you widen my opening in Kelso?
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.

Yes. We cover Kelso and the surrounding TD5 district, as well as Jedburgh, Duns and Galashiels. If you are unsure, enter your postcode in the guide price tool.
