Why repair your sliding door in Norwich?

Before you replace a sliding door, it is worth knowing which faults can be put right:

If a sliding door at your Norwich 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 Norwich 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.

  • Adjusting a dropped or misaligned panel can cure draughts, rattles and a door that will not close fully against its seals.
  • 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.
  • Misted sealed units can usually be replaced individually with new safety glass units, restoring the view and the insulation of that panel.

From photos to fixed door in Norwich

We repair sliding doors in Norwich and nearby Wymondham and North Walsham. 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.

Do you need approval in Norwich?

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.

Common repairs and upgrades

  • Roller replacement. New rollers for each sliding panel, restoring a smooth, quiet action.
  • Handle replacement. Replacing broken or loose handles, including key-lockable versions.
  • Adjustment and service. Re-aligning panels, cleaning tracks and checking seals and drainage.

Questions about sliding door repairs in Norwich

How quickly can you fix a sliding door in Norwich?

We offer a repair date in the NR1 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.

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.
