Repair or replace: sliding doors in Sandhurst
Here is what usually goes wrong with sliding doors, and what can be done about it:
Before calling out anyone in Sandhurst for a door that will not lock, check whether the panel has dropped: if the hooks no longer meet the keeps, adjustment may be all it needs.
If a sliding door at your Sandhurst home has started to drag, clean the bottom track thoroughly before booking anything, as grit alone can cause the problem.
- Misted sealed units can usually be replaced individually with new safety glass units, restoring the view and the insulation of that panel.
- Where a repair is not worth doing, for example because parts are unavailable, we say so plainly rather than fitting parts that will not last.
- Adjusting a dropped or misaligned panel can cure draughts, rattles and a door that will not close fully against its seals.

From photos to fixed door in Sandhurst
Send photos or a short video of the fault and we tell you the likely repair and cost before anyone visits. We then book a repair visit in the GU47 district at a time that suits you; most repairs are completed in a single visit, unless parts need ordering or a new glass unit must be made.
Do you need approval in Sandhurst?
Repairs are generally outside the Building Regulations in England. Any replacement glass we fit in a door is safety glazing, in line with Approved Document K, and if the door needs replacing rather than repairing, the controlled-fitting rules apply.
Repairs and upgrades to consider
- Lock and gearbox replacement. A new mechanism when the handle turns but the door will not lock.
- Adjustment and service. Re-aligning panels, cleaning tracks and checking seals and drainage.
- Misted unit replacement. A new sealed safety glass unit in place of one that has failed.
Questions about sliding door repairs in Sandhurst
Do you repair sliding doors in Sandhurst?
Yes. We repair sliding doors in Sandhurst and across Berkshire, including nearby Crowthorne. Send photos or a short video and we will tell you the likely fix and cost before booking a visit.
Is there a free survey for sliding door repairs?
No, our free survey applies to new doors and replacements only. Repairs are quoted from photos and a short video you send us, or after a diagnostic visit where photos are not enough. If a visit is needed, the diagnostic visit costs £95 inc VAT and is confirmed before we attend, so you know where you stand.
Is it worth repairing an old sliding patio door?
Repairing an old sliding patio door is worth it if the frame and glass are sound and the parts are available, because a few new rollers or a lock can restore it for a fraction of the cost of replacement. If the frame is failing, the door is single glazed or parts are discontinued, replacement usually makes more sense.
What photos should I send for a repair quote?
Send a photo of the whole door from inside, close-ups of the handle, the lock edge and the bottom track, and any label or marking on the frame or glass spacer. A short video of the door opening and closing is especially helpful. Tell us roughly how old the door is and what it is doing wrong.
