Daylight in Crawley and what it means for your glass
The midday sun over Crawley ranges from about 15° at the winter solstice to about 62° at midsummer. Low-angle winter light reaches further into a room through a tall door, which is one reason taller panels are worth considering; on south or west walls, pair them with solar-control glass.
How it works in Crawley
Start with a guide price online or by phone. A surveyor then measures your opening in Crawley, 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 Crawley: questions
Which sliding door suits a home in Crawley?
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 Crawley is the place to settle it.
Do you cover villages around Crawley?
Yes. We cover Crawley and the surrounding RH10 district, as well as Horley, Horsham and East Grinstead. If you are unsure, enter your postcode in the guide price tool.
Can you widen my opening in Crawley?
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.
