Are sliding door repairs right for homes in Hampshire?
Here is what usually goes wrong with sliding doors, and what can be done about it:
When sending photos of a Hampshire 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.
If a sliding door at your Hampshire home has started to drag, clean the bottom track thoroughly before booking anything, as grit alone can cause the problem.
- 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.
- 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.
- Misted sealed units can usually be replaced individually with new safety glass units, restoring the view and the insulation of that panel.

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.
How can I stop my sliding door needing repairs?
Keeping the track clean is the most effective way to keep a sliding door running well, because grit wears rollers and damages the track surface. Vacuum the track regularly, wipe it with a damp cloth, keep drainage slots clear and avoid slamming panels into their stops. Our maintenance guide has a simple routine.
