What we do and how we do it
There is no standard version of Timber Bifold Doors in the UK, which is rather the point. Given the a mix of period and modern stock that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. Set against the full range of UK exposure conditions, most joinery here eventually shows coating failure followed by rot at the joints. This is really a job about running gear rated for the real weight of a timber leaf.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
A detail specific to this area: specification should always be matched to local exposure.
Specification
- Engineered hardwood or slow-grown softwood, FSC certified
- Factory-applied microporous finish in any RAL or heritage colour
- Sealed units, slim-cavity units or single glazing with putty line
- Manufactured to survey dimensions, not to a stock size chart
- Delivered UK-wide with chain-of-custody paperwork

Frequently asked questions
Do you fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
