Are uPVC sliding patio doors right for your Pershore home?
Most homeowners choosing uPVC sliding patio doors want the same things: more light, a clear view and a door that is easy to live with.
Where a patio door in Pershore opens onto a conservatory or narrow side return, a sliding panel avoids the clash a hinged door can have with furniture or a gate.
Planning a door wider than about 3.6 m for your Pershore home? That is beyond the uPVC range, so aluminium or a multi-track system would be the next step.
- Compressible gaskets and brush pile seals along the interlock reduce the draughts and rattles that an older patio door with worn seals often suffers from.
- Multi-chambered uPVC profiles trap still air inside the frame, so the frame itself insulates well without needing a separate thermal break.
- Steel reinforcement inside the main profiles keeps the frame rigid, holds the locking hardware firmly and stops the sliding panel flexing over the years.
Daylight in Pershore and what it means for your glass
The midday sun over Pershore ranges from about 14° at the winter solstice to about 61° at midsummer. Low-angle winter light reaches further into a room through a tall door, which is one reason taller panels are worth considering; on south or west walls, pair them with solar-control glass.

Rules for uPVC sliding patio doors in England
In England, a replacement sliding door is a controlled fitting under the Building Regulations. In an existing home, a door with more than 60% glazing must reach a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or better (or a Doorset Energy Rating of band C) under Approved Document L, and glass in doors must be safety glazing under Approved Document K. We arrange compliance through a competent person scheme installer or by notifying Building Control, and you receive the certificate.
Specification choices for uPVC sliding patio doors in Pershore
- Threshold. A standard threshold for a straight swap, or a lower threshold where the floor build-up allows.
- Panel layout. Choose which side slides, or a three-panel layout for openings beyond about 3 m.
- Trims and cills. A matching uPVC cill, add-on trims and internal finishing so the new door sits neatly against existing plaster and brick.
Questions about uPVC sliding patio doors in Pershore
Do you fit uPVC sliding patio doors in Pershore?
Yes. We survey and fit uPVC sliding patio doors in Pershore and across Worcestershire, including nearby Evesham and Upton-upon-Severn. Start with a guide price online or call us, and we will arrange a free survey for a new or replacement door.
Are uPVC sliding doors energy efficient?
uPVC sliding doors are energy efficient because the plastic frame conducts little heat, with whole-door U-values typically around 1.3–1.6 W/m²K double glazed, depending on profile and glass. In England, a replacement door in an existing home with more than 60% glazing must achieve 1.4 W/m²K or better, so the sealed unit is specified to meet it. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland set their own energy requirements.
How much do uPVC sliding patio doors cost?
uPVC sliding patio doors start from a guide price of £1,695 for a 1.5 m two-panel door, fitted, inc VAT, at standard 2.1 m height. A 2.4 m door is a guide £2,195–£2,695, and a 3.6 m three-panel door is around £2,895. Coloured foils, glass upgrades and a low threshold move the figure up, and the final price is fixed in a written quote after survey.
What sizes do uPVC sliding doors come in?
uPVC sliding doors are made to measure, so they come in any size within the system limits rather than set sizes. Our uPVC range covers overall widths from about 1.5 m to 3.6 m at standard 2.1 m height. Two panels cover most openings up to about 3 m, and beyond that a third panel is added. For larger openings, aluminium carries bigger panels.
