Repair or replace: sliding doors in Aldershot
Most sliding door problems come down to a handful of worn parts, and a repair is often far cheaper than a new door:
If a sliding door at your Aldershot home has started to drag, clean the bottom track thoroughly before booking anything, as grit alone can cause the problem.
Where an older sliding door in Aldershot has several faults at once, such as misted glass, worn rollers and a failing lock, compare the total repair cost with a replacement before deciding.
- Adjusting a dropped or misaligned panel can cure draughts, rattles and a door that will not close fully against its seals.
- Quoting from photos and a short video means many repairs can be priced without a visit, saving time and the diagnostic visit charge for straightforward jobs.
- Repairing or refurbishing a damaged track removes the dips and burrs that make rollers jump, which stops a panel coming off its track.

From photos to fixed door in Aldershot
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 GU11 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 Aldershot?
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.
Common repairs and upgrades
- Handle replacement. Replacing broken or loose handles, including key-lockable versions.
- Roller replacement. New rollers for each sliding panel, restoring a smooth, quiet action.
- Track repair or refurbishment. Repairing damaged track sections, or fitting a new track cover where the system allows.
Questions about sliding door repairs in Aldershot
Do you repair sliding doors in Aldershot?
Yes. We repair sliding doors in Aldershot and across Hampshire, including nearby Farnham. Send photos or a short video and we will tell you the likely fix and cost before booking a visit.
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.
Why won't my sliding door lock?
A sliding door that will not lock usually has a failed lock gearbox, a worn or broken keep, or a panel that has dropped so the hooks no longer line up with the frame. Forcing the handle can make it worse. Photos of the handle, the lock edge and the frame where the hooks engage usually show which part has failed.
