Common sliding door faults we fix in Church Stretton
Most sliding door problems come down to a handful of worn parts, and a repair is often far cheaper than a new door:
When sending photos of a Church Stretton 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.
Where an older sliding door in Church Stretton has several faults at once, such as misted glass, worn rollers and a failing lock, compare the total repair cost with a replacement before deciding.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.
Common repairs and upgrades
- Misted unit replacement. A new sealed safety glass unit in place of one that has failed.
- Lock and gearbox replacement. A new mechanism when the handle turns but the door will not lock.
- Handle replacement. Replacing broken or loose handles, including key-lockable versions.
Questions about sliding door repairs in Church Stretton
Do you repair sliding doors in Church Stretton?
Yes. We repair sliding doors in Church Stretton and across Shropshire, including nearby Ludlow. Send photos or a short video and we will tell you the likely fix and cost before booking a visit.
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.
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.
