Questions about internal pocket doors in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde
Is the price different in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde?
No. Guide prices for internal pocket doors are the same across mainland Britain, including Renfrewshire and Inverclyde. The fitted price depends on size, system, glass and finish, and any structural work, all fixed in your written quote after survey.
Do pocket doors need a floor track?
No, the pocket doors we fit hang from rollers on a top track, so the floor stays clear and level through the doorway. A small guide at the mouth of the pocket keeps the leaf running straight without a groove across the floor. That makes them easy to clean around and suitable where the same flooring runs from room to room.
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.
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.
