Kent Bi-Fold Doors · Kent # Bi-Fold Doors in Kent Premium aluminium bi-fold doors fitted across Kent — Dartford and Gravesend on the doorstep via the QE2 crossing, plus larger projects through Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and the Medway Towns. [Get a Free Quote](/contact/) [07903 632039](tel:+447903632039) DA, ME, TN and CT (north and west Kent priority) · Surveys in 5–7 working days · 10-year workmanship guarantee Local Detail ## Bi-fold doors fitted across Kent Kent is a substantial secondary catchment for us — the QE2 crossing puts North Kent within an hour of our Essex base, and we run regular bi-fold and aluminium glazing installs through DA and ME postcodes. Larger projects through TN and CT — typically full-house glazing or substantial extension bi-folds — are quoted on a project basis with a confirmed install window. Smaller single-door jobs in deeper Kent we'll discuss honestly before booking. Quote slots typically diaried inside seven working days for Kent. Local building control varies by district; Certass notification handled by us regardless of authority. **Housing stock we work with here:** Substantial detached and Edwardian housing through North Kent, period cottages in the Weald, modern estates around Maidstone. Our vans are around the QE2 Bridge, the M25 / M26 corridor, the Medway Towns most weeks, so survey and aftercare visits in Kent are easy to diarise. Why Us ## Why Kent homeowners choose us for bi-folds ### Bi-fold specialists in Kent leading aluminium systems aluminium systems installed weekly in Kent. Premium aluminium bi-folds are our single largest product line — not a sideline. ### Own in-house fitting team The same Certass-trained crew on every Kent install — no agency labour, no rotating sub-contractors. They are part of our small in-house team — no agency labour. ### Survey within stated window Quote slots run 7am–8pm seven days. We hold capacity specifically for DA, ME, TN and CT enquiries so you're not waiting weeks. ### Itemised written quote Frames, glass, fitting and disposal listed separately. The number on the page is the number you pay — no surprise extras after install. ### Threshold detailing done properly Bi-fold tracks have to be perfectly level and properly DPM'd. We get this right at survey — it's the single biggest cause of long-term callbacks if it's wrong. ### 10-year workmanship guarantee Every Kent install — written into your quote, separate to manufacturer warranty. Aftercare adjustments included for the first 12 months. What goes wrong ## Bi-fold problems we get called out to in Kent ### Bi-fold tracks fouling on uneven thresholds Most Kent bi-fold callbacks we get asked to fix are tracks that weren't shimmed level at install. Once a track's twisted, the doors won't sit square. We level and DPM every threshold at survey, before doors are ordered. ### Underspecified pane sizes Aluminium bi-folds can run pane sizes most installers won't quote — but only with the right system and the right glass. Going too small for the opening costs you light and visual width. We size to the opening, not to a default catalogue. ### Cheap PVC bi-folds in large openings PVC bi-folds work in small openings but the frames are bulky and the pane size is restricted. For most Kent rear extensions, aluminium gives slimmer sightlines and a 25–30-year frame life — usually the right call. ### Hardware corrosion from coastal/exposed sites Marine-grade hardware matters for any Kent install with significant exposure. We specify upgraded rollers and locks where the site demands it — standard hardware doesn't last in the wrong location. Process ## How a Kent bi-fold install runs 1. 01 ### Free survey We measure the opening, check the threshold and the lintel, and talk through pane counts and stacking direction on site. 2. 02 ### Configuration & spec Pane split, stacking side, traffic door position, RAL frame colour, glass spec and threshold type — all confirmed in writing. 3. 03 ### Manufacture Frames are made to your surveyed sizes. We confirm the install date once they leave the factory. 4. 04 ### Installation Old doors out, track laser-levelled and DPM'd, frames set square, every panel tested through its full fold before we leave. 5. 05 ### Sign-off & guarantee Operation walk-through, Certass notification within 30 days, and a 10-year workmanship guarantee in writing.
