Repair or replace: sliding doors in Cheshunt
Most sliding door problems come down to a handful of worn parts, and a repair is often far cheaper than a new door:
Landlords with properties in Cheshunt can often keep a sound sliding door working with a roller and lock service rather than a full replacement.
If a sliding door at your Cheshunt 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.
- Replacing worn rollers is often enough to bring back the light, smooth action of a sliding panel that has become heavy and noisy to open.
- Adjusting a dropped or misaligned panel can cure draughts, rattles and a door that will not close fully against its seals.

What we can repair

- Adjustment and service. Re-aligning panels, cleaning tracks and checking seals and drainage.

Questions about sliding door repairs in Cheshunt
Is there a call-out charge in Cheshunt?
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.
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.
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.
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.
