Repair or replace: sliding doors in Caerphilly
Before you replace a sliding door, it is worth knowing which faults can be put right:
Is the patio door in your Caerphilly house leaking at the bottom after heavy rain? Check the drainage slots in the outer frame are clear before assuming a seal has failed.
Landlords with properties in Caerphilly can often keep a sound sliding door working with a roller and lock service rather than a full replacement.
- A well-maintained, repaired door can give years more service, making a repair a sensible first step when the frame and glass are otherwise sound.
- A new lock gearbox or cylinder restores secure locking when a handle turns but the bolts no longer engage, without replacing the whole door.
- 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.

How repairs work in Caerphilly
We repair sliding doors in Caerphilly and nearby Risca and Pontypridd. You approve the price first, then we book the visit; most repairs are completed in a single visit, unless parts need ordering or a new glass unit must be made.

Repairs to rollers, tracks and locks do not need approval in Wales; a whole new door does, under the Building Regulations as applied in Wales.
What we can repair
- Track repair or refurbishment. Repairing damaged track sections, or fitting a new track cover where the system allows.

Questions about sliding door repairs in Caerphilly
How quickly can you fix a sliding door in Caerphilly?
We offer a repair date in the CF83 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.
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.
What photos should I send for a repair quote?
Send a photo of the whole door from inside, close-ups of the handle, the lock edge and the bottom track, and any label or marking on the frame or glass spacer. A short video of the door opening and closing is especially helpful. Tell us roughly how old the door is and what it is doing wrong.
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.
