Are internal pocket doors right for your Armagh home?
Here is what to weigh up if you are considering internal pocket doors for a home in Armagh:
If your Armagh home has a cramped en suite where the door clashes with the basin, a pocket door is worth measuring for before you consider moving the sanitaryware.
In an Armagh hallway where three or four doors open into the same small space, swapping one or two for pocket doors can stop them colliding with each other.
- Flush pulls sit level with the face of the door so the leaf can slide fully into the pocket, with a small edge pull to draw it back out again.
- Privacy hook locks made for sliding leaves give a bathroom or en suite a door that locks from inside and can still be released from outside in an emergency.
- Top-hung rollers carry the weight of the leaf from above, so there is no floor track to trip over, clean around or catch the vacuum cleaner on.
Planning glass for the light in Armagh
Light travels further than you might expect through internal glass. When the noon sun in Armagh sits at only about 12° in December, a glazed internal door lets light from a south-facing room reach the back of the house.

Timescales for internal pocket doors in Armagh
A surveyor checks the doorway, the wall and the floor in your Armagh home and talks through the glass or door finish. After you approve the written quote, the door is made typically 3–5 weeks after survey sign-off, depending on the door leaf and finish, and fitting usually takes 1–2 days, plus drying time before new plaster can be decorated. Armagh is in an area we cover by arrangement: the survey is still free, and survey dates, delivery and any travel cost for delivery and fitting are confirmed in your quote before you order.
Do you need approval in Armagh?
Internal door work in Northern Ireland is by arrangement. We use safety glass in glazed doors, and any alteration to a load-bearing wall needs building control approval from your district council.
Finishes and extras for internal pocket doors
- Single pocket door. One leaf sliding into one side of the wall, the usual choice for en suites and cupboards.
- Bathroom privacy lock. A hook lock with an emergency release, designed for doors that slide rather than swing.
- Flush and edge pulls. Recessed pulls in the door face plus an edge pull, so the leaf can disappear fully into the pocket.
Questions about internal pocket doors in Armagh
Do you fit internal pocket doors in Armagh?
Yes, by arrangement. Armagh is in an area we cover by arrangement: the survey is still free, and survey dates, delivery and any travel cost for delivery and fitting are confirmed in your quote before you order.
How much does an internal pocket door cost?
Our guide price for a fitted internal pocket door is £895–£1,595 for a single and £1,695–£2,795 for a double, inc VAT at standard height. Where your door falls in that range depends on the leaf, the hardware, the wall construction and how much making good is needed. The final figure is fixed in a written quote after we have surveyed the wall.
Can I put a light switch on the wall with the pocket?
Not on the pocket section itself, because the door slides through that cavity and there is nowhere to run a cable or fix a back box. Switches and sockets can usually move to the other side of the doorway or to an adjoining wall. We point out any that need moving at survey, and an electrician should relocate them before the pocket frame goes in.
What is an internal pocket door?
An internal pocket door is an interior door that slides into a cavity built inside the wall instead of swinging on hinges. The leaf hangs from rollers on a concealed track at the top of a pocket frame, and the frame is boarded and plastered so the wall looks normal. When the door is open, only its edge and pull remain visible.
