Why repair your sliding door in Deal?
Most sliding door problems come down to a handful of worn parts, and a repair is often far cheaper than a new door:
Before calling out anyone in Deal for a door that will not lock, check whether the panel has dropped: if the hooks no longer meet the keeps, adjustment may be all it needs.
Is the patio door in your Deal house leaking at the bottom after heavy rain? Check the drainage slots in the outer frame are clear before assuming a seal has failed.
- Repairing or refurbishing a damaged track removes the dips and burrs that make rollers jump, which stops a panel coming off its track.
- 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.
- 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.

Do you need approval in Deal?
Like-for-like repairs such as new rollers, locks, handles or adjustment are not building work under the Building Regulations in England. If the whole door is replaced, it becomes a controlled fitting and the replacement rules apply.

Questions about sliding door repairs in Deal
Is there a call-out charge in Deal?
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.
Is it worth repairing an old sliding patio door?
Repairing an old sliding patio door is worth it if the frame and glass are sound and the parts are available, because a few new rollers or a lock can restore it for a fraction of the cost of replacement. If the frame is failing, the door is single glazed or parts are discontinued, replacement usually makes more sense.
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.
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.
