Bifold doors are glazed panels that fold and stack to one side to open up a wide gap, while sliding doors glide past each other on tracks; both connect a living space to the garden and bring in more daylight.
Addresses across TW4, TW6, TW13 and TW14 fall within our coverage for bifold or sliding doors, so if your home is in Feltham we can arrange a survey on a day that works for you. We inspect the existing building, discuss materials and layout, and then price the agreed specification in writing. Expect a guide range of £3,900–£10,500 including VAT before that visit.

What are homes like around Feltham?
London's housing is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often in yellow London stock brick, with Georgian terraces in central districts and mansion blocks across many inner areas. Outer boroughs have large belts of interwar semis, and there are extensive post-war council estates. Many houses have been split into flats, and conservation areas are widespread.
Terraces suit side-return extensions and rear dormer loft conversions; interwar semis commonly take hip-to-gable lofts. Shared party walls, restricted parking and conservation rules often shape the plans and the programme.
Whatever era your Feltham home dates from, we plan bifold or sliding doors around how it is actually built rather than a one-size-fits-all specification.
Permissions for bifold or sliding doors in Feltham
Because Feltham falls under England's rules, the guidance below is the version relevant to you. Before sending a price, we check your property's position with the council.
Replacing windows and doors on a house is usually permitted development in England when the new ones look broadly similar to the old. Flats, listed buildings and homes covered by an Article 4 direction can need consent, and conservation areas may limit materials or styles.
Replacement windows and external doors must meet Building Regulations for energy efficiency, ventilation and, on upper floors, escape. The work is either self-certified by an installer registered with a competent person scheme or signed off by building control.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
How does the job run?
Survey and measure
Book a visit and we'll come to you. The survey covers measurements, the state of what's there now and any obvious constraints, so the price that follows is based on your actual home, not an average.
Price and scope agreed
Next you receive a written quote with a fixed price for the agreed specification. It lists what is included, what is not, and how payments are staged, so you can compare it properly.
Dates and permissions
With the quote agreed, we book the work in and handle preparation: permissions where needed, building control notifications, material orders and access arrangements for your Feltham property.
Finish and handover
The job proceeds in the order set out in the programme, with dust and debris kept under control. Finally we tidy away, inspect the work together and pass the finished project over to you with its paperwork.

Bifold and sliding doors in Feltham: questions
Can you fit bifold doors where I have a window now?
Bifold doors can usually replace a window by cutting the wall down to floor level and, if the opening is being widened, fitting a new lintel or steel beam. A structural engineer sizes the beam, and building control approval is needed. Radiators, pipes and cables under the window may need moving. We check all of this at the survey and include it in a single written quote.
Do you cover Hanworth, Ashford, Surrey and Hounslow?
Yes. As well as Feltham, we cover Hanworth, Ashford, Surrey and Hounslow and the rest of London. Our coverage is UK-wide, so the process is the same wherever you are: a free site survey, a quote in writing that fixes the price for the agreed scope, and one point of contact while the work is planned and carried out.
Can I stay at home during the work?
In most cases, yes. Most people can live at home throughout, and we plan the work to keep disruption down by protecting floors, agreeing working hours and keeping access routes clear. Bigger jobs affecting kitchens, bathrooms or heating may mean a short spell with reduced facilities, and we talk this through with you at the survey.
Are bifold doors secure?
Modern bifold and sliding doors are designed to be secure, with multi-point locks, shoot bolts into the frame, internally beaded glass and toughened or laminated glazing. The traffic door, which you use day to day, has a cylinder lock that can take an anti-snap barrel. Sliding doors also have anti-lift features. We explain the locking on each option so you can compare like for like.
Will large glass doors make my room cold?
Large glass doors lose more heat than an insulated wall, but modern double glazing with thermally broken frames performs far better than older patio doors. Solar control glass helps stop south-facing rooms overheating in summer. In extensions, building control looks at the total glazed area, so heat-loss calculations may be needed. We can suggest glass specifications that balance light, warmth and cost.
