Why repair your sliding door in Petersfield?
Here is what usually goes wrong with sliding doors, and what can be done about it:
If a sliding door at your Petersfield home has started to drag, clean the bottom track thoroughly before booking anything, as grit alone can cause the problem.
When sending photos of a Petersfield 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.
- 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.
- Misted sealed units can usually be replaced individually with new safety glass units, restoring the view and the insulation of that panel.
- Adjusting a dropped or misaligned panel can cure draughts, rattles and a door that will not close fully against its seals.

Rules for sliding door repairs in England
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.
- Track repair or refurbishment. Repairing damaged track sections, or fitting a new track cover where the system allows.
- Misted unit replacement. A new sealed safety glass unit in place of one that has failed.
Questions about sliding door repairs in Petersfield
Is there a call-out charge in Petersfield?
Many faults can be priced from photos or a short video, so a visit is not always needed. If we need to see the door first, a diagnostic visit costs £95 inc VAT, and we confirm it before we attend. Repair prices include the visit to carry out the repair.
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.
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.
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.
