Common sliding door faults we fix in Grantham
Before you replace a sliding door, it is worth knowing which faults can be put right:
If a sliding door at your Grantham home has started to drag, clean the bottom track thoroughly before booking anything, as grit alone can cause the problem.
Landlords with properties in Grantham can often keep a sound sliding door working with a roller and lock service rather than a full replacement.
- Misted sealed units can usually be replaced individually with new safety glass units, restoring the view and the insulation of that panel.
- Repairing or refurbishing a damaged track removes the dips and burrs that make rollers jump, which stops a panel coming off its track.
- 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.

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.
Repairs and upgrades to consider
- Roller replacement. New rollers for each sliding panel, restoring a smooth, quiet action.
- Adjustment and service. Re-aligning panels, cleaning tracks and checking seals and drainage.
- Handle replacement. Replacing broken or loose handles, including key-lockable versions.
Questions about sliding door repairs in Grantham
How quickly can you fix a sliding door in Grantham?
We offer a repair date in the NG31 district once you approve the price. Common parts such as rollers and handles can often be fitted on the first visit; specialist parts may need ordering.
Can you replace misted glass in a sliding door?
Yes, a misted sealed unit in a sliding door can usually be replaced on its own without changing the frame. The new unit is made to the size of the old one in safety glass, as glass in doors must be, and fitted into the existing panel. It is worth checking whether the frame is still sound first.
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.
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.
