Why repair your sliding door in Putney?
Most sliding door problems come down to a handful of worn parts, and a repair is often far cheaper than a new door:
Is the patio door in your Putney house leaking at the bottom after heavy rain? Check the drainage slots in the outer frame are clear before assuming a seal has failed.
When sending photos of a Putney door for a repair quote, include any label on the frame edge or spacer bar, because it can help identify the system and its parts.
- Misted sealed units can usually be replaced individually with new safety glass units, restoring the view and the insulation of that panel.
- A new lock gearbox or cylinder restores secure locking when a handle turns but the bolts no longer engage, without replacing the whole door.
- A well-maintained, repaired door can give years more service, making a repair a sensible first step when the frame and glass are otherwise sound.

From photos to fixed door in Putney
Repairs in Putney start with photos or, if needed, a diagnostic visit. Once you approve the price we book the repair: most repairs are booked within a few weeks, parts permitting, and specialist parts are ordered where needed.
Do you need approval in Putney?
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.
What we can repair
- Handle replacement. Replacing broken or loose handles, including key-lockable versions.
- Misted unit replacement. A new sealed safety glass unit in place of one that has failed.
- Lock and gearbox replacement. A new mechanism when the handle turns but the door will not lock.
Questions about sliding door repairs in Putney
Is it worth repairing an old sliding door in Putney?
Often, yes. New rollers, a lock gearbox or a track refurbishment cost a fraction of a new door. If the frame is twisted or the door fails on thermal performance, we will say so and price a replacement instead.
Can a sliding door track be repaired?
A damaged sliding door track can often be repaired or refurbished, depending on the door and how badly the track is worn. On some systems a replacement track cover can be fitted over a worn track, and on others a damaged section can be repaired. If the track is part of a frame that is failing more widely, replacement may be the better option.
How do I know if my sliding door rollers need replacing?
Sliding door rollers usually need replacing when the panel becomes hard to push, rumbles or grinds as it moves, sits lower at one end or jumps off the track. Cleaning the track first is worth trying, because grit can cause similar symptoms. If the door is still heavy once the track is clean, the rollers are likely worn or broken.
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.
