Are replacement sliding doors right for your Craigavon home?
These are the points a surveyor will go through with you when you choose replacement sliding doors for a home in Craigavon:
If the existing opening in your Craigavon home is sound and a sensible size, simply replacing the door gives the biggest improvement for the least disruption.
Does the old door in your Craigavon kitchen whistle in the wind or leave puddles on the sill? Worn seals and failed drainage are common reasons to replace rather than repair.
- Most two-panel replacements are completed in a single day, so the house is secure again by the evening without the room being out of use for long.
- Removal and disposal of your old patio door is included in our guide prices, so there is no separate skip or tip run to organise.
- New rollers and a precision track make a heavy door glide with a light push, where an old door may need both hands and a firm shove to open.
How much sun will a door in Craigavon get?
In Craigavon the shortest day has roughly 7 h 17 min of daylight and the longest about 17 h 15 min. The noon sun sits near 12° above the horizon in winter and 59° in summer — so glass that faces south collects useful warmth from October to March, while a west-facing door may need solar control to stop it overheating in July.

Questions about replacement sliding doors in Craigavon
Do you fit replacement sliding doors in Craigavon?
Yes, by arrangement. Craigavon is in an area we cover by arrangement: the survey is still free, and survey dates, delivery and any travel cost for delivery and fitting are confirmed in your quote before you order.
Can I get a bigger door in the same opening?
You can usually get more glass in the same opening, because modern frames are slimmer, but the overall door size stays roughly the same as the old one. Making the door wider or taller means widening the opening, which is structural work with a steel beam, calculations and a Building Regulations application. Our new openings page covers that.
How long does it take to replace a sliding patio door?
Replacing a two-panel sliding patio door typically takes one day, from removing the old door to sealing and trimming the new one. Larger doors, three- or four-panel sets and doors needing extra making good typically take one to two days. Manufacture comes first, typically 4–6 weeks for aluminium or 2–4 weeks for uPVC after you sign off the surveyed specification.
Will the new door have a lower threshold?
A lower threshold may be possible on a replacement, depending on the floor level inside, the height of the patio or ground outside and how the opening was built. Low thresholds are typically 15–25 mm. A flush threshold needs a drainage channel outside so rain cannot run in. We check levels at survey and tell you what is realistic.
