Internal pocket doors across Gwent
These are the points a surveyor will go through with you when you choose internal pocket doors for a home in Gwent:
If your Gwent 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.
Renovating a period property in Gwent? Pocket doors can take panelled leaves that echo the existing doors, so the change looks considered rather than out of place.
- The door leaf can be chosen to match the other internal doors in the house, such as painted panels, oak veneer or a glazed design, so it does not look out of place.
- Soft-close dampers can slow the door in its final few centimetres in both directions, stopping it slamming shut or bouncing back out of the pocket.
- 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.

Internal sliding and pocket doors are not usually notifiable building work in Wales. We only supply safety glass for glazed doors, and any alteration to a load-bearing wall needs structural advice and approval from Building Control.
Questions about internal pocket doors in Gwent
How soon can you survey in Gwent?
Surveys in Gwent are booked at a time that suits you, and we offer survey dates when we reply to your enquiry. After you approve the written quote, manufacture is typically 3–5 weeks after survey sign-off, depending on the door leaf and finish.
How much wall space does a pocket door need?
A pocket door needs a length of clear wall beside the opening that is roughly the width of the door, plus a little extra for the frame. A double pocket door needs that space on both sides. The pocket section must be free of radiators, sockets, switches, pipes and cables, which is often the deciding factor in whether a particular doorway works.
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.
