What internal pocket doors offer homes in Woking
Before you settle on a door type, it helps to know what internal pocket doors do well and what to check before you order.
Renovating a period property in Woking? Pocket doors can take panelled leaves that echo the existing doors, so the change looks considered rather than out of place.
Planning an open-plan kitchen in Woking but still want to close it off now and then? A double pocket door gives you both.
- 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.
- A double pocket door, with two leaves parting from the centre, opens up a wide doorway between a kitchen and a living area without any doors standing in the room.
- 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.

Survey, manufacture and fitting around Woking
A surveyor checks the doorway, the wall and the floor in your Woking 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.
Do you need approval in Woking?
Fitting an internal sliding or pocket door is not usually notifiable building work in England. Approved Document K treats glass in doors as a critical location, so we only supply safety glass for internal doors. If a wall has to be altered to form a pocket, check first whether it is load-bearing.

Questions about internal pocket doors in Woking
Do you fit internal pocket doors in Woking?
Yes. We survey and fit internal pocket doors in Woking and across Surrey, including nearby Guildford and Cobham. Start with a guide price online or call us, and we will arrange a free survey for a new or replacement 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 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.
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.
