Are internal pocket doors right for your Limavady home?
A few practical points decide whether internal pocket doors suit a particular room and opening:
Renovating a period property in Limavady? Pocket doors can take panelled leaves that echo the existing doors, so the change looks considered rather than out of place.
Before arranging a survey at your Limavady home, check whether the wall beside the doorway carries radiators, sockets or pipes, because those decide whether internal pocket doors will fit.
- Reclaims the floor area a hinged door needs to swing, which in a small bathroom or cloakroom can be the difference between fitting a vanity unit and going without.
- 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.
Sunlight, glass and orientation in Limavady
Light travels further than you might expect through internal glass. When the noon sun in Limavady sits at only about 12° in December, a glazed internal door lets light from a south-facing room reach the back of the house.

Survey, manufacture and fitting around Limavady
Surveys in the BT49 district are booked at a time that suits you. Lead time is typically 3–5 weeks after survey sign-off, depending on the door leaf and finish; on fitting day the track or pocket is installed, the door is hung and adjusted, and the area is left clean. Fitting usually takes 1–2 days, plus drying time before new plaster can be decorated. Limavady 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 Limavady?
In Northern Ireland, internal doors are not usually building control work. We only supply safety glass for glazed doors, and structural wall changes need district council approval. Work in Northern Ireland is by arrangement.
Which options matter for internal pocket doors?
- Flush and edge pulls. Recessed pulls in the door face plus an edge pull, so the leaf can disappear fully into the pocket.
- Single pocket door. One leaf sliding into one side of the wall, the usual choice for en suites and cupboards.
- Double pocket door. Two leaves sliding into opposite sides of the opening for a wider, centred doorway.
Questions about internal pocket doors in Limavady
Is the price different in Limavady?
The door price is the same as anywhere else. Because Limavady is covered by arrangement, any travel cost for delivery and fitting is shown in your quote before you order; the survey itself is free.
How long does it take to fit a pocket door?
Fitting a pocket door typically takes one to two days, depending on whether the wall is stud or masonry and how much needs opening up. New plaster then needs time to dry before it can be decorated. We agree the order of work with you at survey so other trades, such as an electrician or decorator, can be booked around it.
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.
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.
