Is a sliding door for an extension a good fit for your home in Hall Green?
Most homeowners choosing sliding doors for extensions want the same things: more light, a clear view and a door that is easy to live with.
Self-building in Hall Green or elsewhere in the West Midlands? Ask for the sliding doors to be quoted as part of a wider glazing package so the frames, colours and glass match across the house.
Planning an extension in Hall Green? Send us the drawings before the steel is ordered, so the beam above the doors can be designed with the door in mind.
- A check survey once the opening is built means the door is made to the real dimensions, accounting for any small variation in the brickwork or blockwork.
- We provide the structural opening size and fitting tolerances in writing, giving your builder a clear target and avoiding disputes about who measured what.
- Agreeing a fitting date with your builder lets the extension be made weathertight on programme, so plastering and flooring can follow without waiting on the doors.

What happens when you order sliding doors for extensions in Hall Green?
A surveyor visits your Hall Green home to check the wall, the structure above and the floor levels, and talks through glass and finish. Any building work is planned to the engineer's design, the door is made to the finished opening sizes — typically 6–8 weeks for slimline systems after check survey sign-off — and fitting usually takes 1–2 days, scheduled to the build programme.
Rules for sliding doors for extensions in England
Doors in an English extension go through the extension's Building Regulations approval. Under Approved Document L, the total area of windows, roof windows and doors is normally capped at 25% of the extension's floor area plus any openings the extension removes, unless your designer shows compensating improvements; the glass must be safety glazing under Approved Document K.

Questions about sliding doors for extensions in Hall Green
How soon can you survey in Hall Green?
Surveys in the B28 district are booked at a time that suits you, and we offer survey dates when we reply to your enquiry. After you approve the written quote, manufacture is typically 6–8 weeks for slimline systems after check survey sign-off.
Can you measure from drawings rather than the built opening?
We can quote from drawings, but we manufacture from a check survey of the built opening, because real openings often differ slightly from the plans. Making a large made-to-measure door from drawings alone risks it not fitting. If a programme makes that unavoidable, any arrangement and who carries the risk would be agreed in writing first.
When should I order sliding doors for an extension?
Order sliding doors for an extension as soon as the opening is built and a check survey can be done, and agree the target fitting date with your builder in advance. Slimline doors typically take 6–8 weeks to make after sign-off. Getting a quote from drawings early means the specification is settled and only the final measurements are needed.
Can you work with my builder and architect?
Yes, working with your builder, architect and structural engineer is the normal way we approach extension doors. We can provide technical details, opening sizes, threshold requirements and fixing information, and attend site for the check survey. Your builder forms the opening and prepares the floor, and our installers fit the doors to the agreed programme.
