Sliding Patio Doors in Gillingham
Gillingham is only four miles from our base in Shaftesbury, and many of the homes built around the town over the last thirty years have a sliding patio door onto the garden. A lot of them are now reaching the age where the rollers stick, the seals leak and the glass has misted, and a new door makes an immediate difference.
We fit uPVC sliding patio doors in white, grey and woodgrain finishes, and aluminium sliding doors for wider openings. Kenny surveys every opening himself and our own team carries out every installation.
Replacing Patio Doors in Gillingham
Most patio door replacements are a straight swap into the existing opening, and we can usually take the old door out and have the new one fitted and finished in a day. If you would like a wider opening, we can arrange the lintel and making good as part of the job.
Replacing a patio door at the back of a house normally needs no planning permission. Parts of the old town are a conservation area, so if your home is listed or the door faces the street, Kenny will advise on whether Dorset Council needs to be involved.
Our Range
Sliding Patio Doors
Gillingham has grown a great deal in recent decades, and its newer houses nearly all came with a slider. We replace them with uPVC doors of two, three or four panes, or aluminium, including lift-and-slide for anything particularly wide.

Gillingham is practically on our doorstep, and plenty of our customers know each other. That is one more reason we keep our workload manageable and get each door right. Here is what to expect.
Fitted by Our Own Team
Our own team does the fitting, looks after your home throughout and gives everything a thorough tidy at the end.
Secure as Standard
Each of our patio doors is fitted with multi-point locks, panels that resist being lifted out and toughened safety glass as a matter of course.
FENSA Registered
Our installations are certified to Building Regulations through our FENSA registration, and you will receive the paperwork to keep.
Sliding Patio Doors in Gillingham: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Gillingham do you cover?
We cover Gillingham, Milton on Stour, Motcombe, Bourton, East Stour, West Stour, Kington Magna, Silton and Buckhorn Weston, along with Shaftesbury and the surrounding area.
Do I need planning permission for patio doors in Gillingham?
Not usually. Most replacement patio doors, and those fitted into rear extensions, are permitted development. Parts of old Gillingham are in a conservation area, so if your home is listed, the door faces the street or you would like the opening widened, Dorset Council or Building Control may need to be involved. Kenny can advise when he comes out.
Should I choose a sliding patio door or a bifold?
Choose a slider if your seating area is right outside, as it gives larger glass and does not open into the space. A bifold opens nearly the whole width, but with more frame on show when shut. As we are so close, Kenny can bring samples of both round.
What guarantee do you give?
Frames and sealed glass units are guaranteed for 10 years, hardware for 2 years and our workmanship for 10 years, all backed by an insurance-backed guarantee through HomePro.
How much do sliding patio doors cost?
It depends on the size of the opening, the pane count, uPVC or aluminium, the colour and the glass. Every door is made to measure, so we survey first, at no charge, and quote free. On a like-for-like quote we are rarely beaten.
