Patio Door Glass
What we fix on Billericay patio doors.
Misty sliding patio doors
The most common CM11 job. Condensation trapped between the panes means the seal has gone. We replace the sealed unit and the door slides exactly as before.
Cracked and smashed panes
Stone chips from the mower, a football, or a break-in. We can board up the same day and fit the made-to-measure toughened unit once it is manufactured.
French and bi-fold door glass
Matched pairs replaced together so the tint and reflection stay consistent across every leaf.
Upgrades while the glass is out
Low-E energy glass, obscure privacy glass or integrated blinds sealed inside the unit - fitted at the same visit with no extra labour.
Before you buy a new door
Sliding patio doors in Billericay:
new door, or new glass?
Most people who ring us about their sliding patio door assume they need the whole thing replaced. Usually they do not. A sliding patio door is really three separate systems - the glass, the running gear and the frame - and they fail independently. Work out which one has actually gone and you often turn a four-figure job into a couple of hundred pounds.
| What you notice | What has failed | What it needs |
|---|---|---|
| Misty or cloudy between the panes | The sealed unit perimeter seal | New glass unit. Frame untouched. |
| Cracked or smashed pane | The glass only | New toughened unit. Frame untouched. |
| Heavy, stiff or dragging to slide | Worn rollers or a grit-filled track | Rollers and a track clean, not glass. |
| Rattles or whistles in the wind | Perished brush seals and gaskets | Reseal, not a new door. |
| Cold draught at floor level | Failed weather seal or dropped panel | Adjust, reseal or new rollers. |
| Frame bowed, rotten or split | The frame itself | This is the one that genuinely needs a new door. |
Try this before you call anyone
If the door is simply hard to slide, vacuum the bottom track out properly, then find the small plastic caps at the bottom edge of the sliding panel. Behind each one is a roller adjustment screw. A quarter turn clockwise lifts that corner of the panel. Level the panel against the frame and most dragging doors come back to life. If it still fights you, the rollers are worn through and want replacing - but that is still not a new door.
What each route actually costs
Reglazing a misty or cracked sliding panel in CM11 starts at £260 fitted. A full replacement sliding patio door installed in Billericay runs well into four figures once you add making good the opening and redecorating. We will tell you honestly which one you need at the survey, including when the answer is that a new door is the right call and we are not the people to sell it to you.

Why Billericay patio doors fail
A lot of Billericay housing stock is 1970s and 1980s detached and semi-detached family homes, and the rear patio door is usually original or a first-generation uPVC replacement. Those big south-facing panels take the most heat cycling of any glass in the house, so the perimeter seal is nearly always the first thing to go. Once it does, moisture gets into the cavity and the pane mists.
We cover Billericay town centre, Great Burstead, South Green, Outwood Common, Buttsbury and Stock. Because we are only 15 minutes away on the A176, we survey most CM11 and CM12 jobs within 48 hours and fit within a week of measuring.
