Common sliding door faults we fix in Midhurst
Here is what usually goes wrong with sliding doors, and what can be done about it:
Is the patio door in your Midhurst house leaking at the bottom after heavy rain? Check the drainage slots in the outer frame are clear before assuming a seal has failed.
Where an older sliding door in Midhurst 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.
- 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.
- 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
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.
- Lock and gearbox replacement. A new mechanism when the handle turns but the door will not lock.
- Misted unit replacement. A new sealed safety glass unit in place of one that has failed.
Questions about sliding door repairs in Midhurst
Is there a call-out charge in Midhurst?
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.
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.
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.
