Triple glazed sliding patio doors in Kent
We survey and fit triple glazed sliding patio doors across Kent, from Maidstone and Gillingham to smaller towns such as Swanley.
uPVC and aluminium sliders with low-threshold options. A sliding patio door has large glazed panels that slide past each other on a track, so it opens without swinging into the room.

Rules in England
England sets replacement door limits through Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments): 1.4 W/m²K, or a door set energy rating of band C (more than 60% glazed) or band B (other doors). Replacement external doors fall under the same energy rules: a competent person scheme installer (such as FENSA or Certass) self-certifies the work and notifies the council, or a building control body approves it.
Planning: Replacing doors on a house is normally permitted development if the new ones look similar. Flats need planning permission for a change that alters their appearance, an Article 4 direction may mean permission is needed, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
How it works
After the free survey you get a written quote naming the frame system, the glass build-up and the whole-window U-value for every item. Windows are made to order, then fitted, sealed and made good, one opening at a time.
- Every opening measured, including escape and vent needs
- Frames rated for the weight of triple glass
- Old windows removed and taken away
- Each opening closed up the same day
Questions
How much does a triple glazed sliding door cost?
Our guide starts at £1,895 fitted for a 1.8 m uPVC slider and £3,295 for a 3 m aluminium slider, inc VAT. UK quotes for triple uPVC sliders run from about £1,600 to £2,600.
Can I have a level threshold?
Low thresholds are available; they need a suitable drainage detail outside, which we check on survey.

Not with correctly rated rollers. Lift-and-slide gear makes even very large panels easy to move.
Do you cover all of Kent?
We arrange surveys and fitting across Kent.
Do I need permission for triple glazed sliding patio doors in England?
In England, a replacement door on a house that looks similar is normally permitted development; flats need permission if the change alters their appearance, Article 4 areas may need permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
