Bi-fold and Sliding Door Installation
Acute Homes supplies and fits high-end bi-fold and sliding doors tailored to each property - from Georgian terraces in Oxford to modern barn conversions in Witney. Every installation focuses on accurate surveying, robust weatherproofing, secure multipoint locking and a premium finish. As TRUSTMARK approved and FENSA recognised installers with Which? Trusted Trader membership, we handle the product selection, structural co-ordination and technical paperwork for a stress-free install.
— Our Process
How It Works
Survey & Technical Measure
A surveyor visits your property to measure the opening, check thresholds, drainage and any structural works, and confirm sightlines, planning or conservation area constraints.
Product Selection & Quotation
Choose aluminium or timber-aluminium frames, lift-and-slide or inline sliders, glass specification and hardware. We provide a clear proposal with lead times and technical specs.
Installation & Commissioning
Our installers fit the doors, set levels and thresholds, commission rollers and locking, complete weatherproofing and hand over with manufacturer paperwork and maintenance advice.
— Benefits
Why Choose Us?
Premium finish, every time
Tradespeople trained in precision fitting deliver flush thresholds, perfectly glazed panels and neat plaster-to-frame junctions for a high-end look that suits listed and modern homes.
Thermal & weather performance
Thermally-broken frames, high-performance gaskets and correctly installed drainage give improved U-values and weep systems designed for Oxfordshire’s changeable weather.
Compliance & paperwork
As TRUSTMARK, CHAS and FENSA accredited installers with Which? Trusted Trader membership, we provide RAMS, compliance records and manufacturer warranties for peace of mind.
Types of doors we install: we fit aluminium and timber-aluminium bi-folds, lift-and-slide doors, inline sliding doors and pocketing systems to suit townhouses, ranch-style extensions and new-builds. Each system is specified for the opening size, wind-load and desired sightlines — large folding panels use thermally-broken aluminium with stainless rollers, while sliding doors can be specified as low-threshold or flush for level access.
Why installation matters: correct setting of the sill, correct fall to drainage channels and sealing at the jambs prevent water ingress and ensure smooth operation for years. Where openings require structural alteration we coordinate with structural engineers and local building control, handle lintel installation, and produce site-ready drawings so the installation is straightforward and audit-ready.

— FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Most replacements and typical patio/extension doors do not need planning permission, but listed buildings, conservation areas or changes to the front elevation can require consent. We check local planning rules for Abingdon, Oxford and surrounding towns during the survey and advise if applications are needed.
