Sliding Patio Doors in Bexley, London
Sliding Patio Doors in Bexley, London
Known for its green spaces and traditional suburban streets, the London Borough of Bexley features a wide array of properties, from classic 1930s semis to charming Victorian terraces. A set of modern sliding doors is the perfect way to connect these homes to their gardens, flooding rooms with natural light and creating a better flow between inside and out.
If you’re looking for high-quality patio doors in Bexley, our aluminium systems offer the performance, style, and security your home deserves.
Our Aluminium Sliding Door Systems
Slimline Sliding Patio Doors
With a frame that’s just 20mm wide where the panels meet, our Slimline Sliding Patio Doors create a stunning, almost-unbroken wall of glass. They are the ultimate choice for large-scale renovation projects and new builds, offering a truly premium finish. The strength of the aluminium allows for huge individual panels that glide effortlessly, making them ideal for wider openings.
This system is perfectly suited to the grand-scale extensions now popular on Bexley’s interwar homes. It allows for the creation of vast glazed screens, often spanning four, five, or even six or more metres, without the need for cumbersome intermediate supports. If your goal is to create an unbroken connection with the outdoors, and invest in a premium feature that adds value and the ‘wow factor’ to your home, these are the ultimate Bexley sliding doors.
Ultra Slim Slide and Turn Doors
These innovative doors offer complete flexibility. Each panel slides independently along a track before pivoting and stacking neatly to one side. This creates a 100% clear opening with no fixed frames left in view.
This makes them an incredibly adaptable solution for all types of patio doors in Bexley.
For period properties, the optional integral Georgian bars provide a classic, steel-door aesthetic while delivering modern performance. For families, the option of a fully flush, weathered threshold offers a completely step-free and trip-free boundary with the garden, perfect for accessibility.
With options like magnetically operated integral blinds sealed within the glass units, this system can be minutely tailored to your exact lifestyle needs, whether for a compact cottage or a wide-span extension.
Choosing Patio Doors for a Home in Bexley
Having installed sliding doors in Bexley, we know what works. The borough’s housing stock is varied, so choosing the right system is key to a successful project. Here are our recommendations for common local property types.
Patio Doors for Bexley’s 1930s Houses
Found all over Sidcup and Welling, the 1930s semi is a prime candidate for a rear extension. To completely open up a new kitchen-diner to the garden, our Ultra Slim Slide and Turn Doors are perfect. For larger extensions of four metres or more, a set of our Slimline Sliding Patio Doors will provide a spectacular panoramic view and a high-end, minimalist feel.
Sliding Doors for Victorian & Edwardian Homes in Bexley
In historic pockets like Old Bexley or close to the conservation areas, you’ll find beautiful Victorian and Edwardian properties. Updating these homes requires a sensitive touch to preserve their charm while improving comfort and security. Replacing dated, draughty French doors or windows with a modern alternative can be challenging. This is where our Ultra Slim Slide and Turn doors, specified with our elegant integral Georgian bars, are an impeccable choice. They masterfully replicate the tall, vertical proportions and panelled appearance of classic steel or timber doors, maintaining the property’s heritage aesthetic. This allows homeowners to gain the huge benefits of modern thermal insulation, acoustic performance, and advanced security, without any visual compromise, ensuring the home’s character is enhanced, not erased.
Bexley Sliding Doors for Contemporary New Builds
New homes demand a high-spec, modern finish. Our Slimline Sliding Patio Doors are the perfect match. Their sharp lines, outstanding security features, and excellent weather ratings provide the clean, contemporary aesthetic that these properties require. They are the go-to choice for developers and homeowners looking for the best aluminium sliding doors Bexley has to offer.
Alternatively, the Ultra Slim Slide and Turn system arguably achieves the ultimate modernist goal: the complete dissolution of the barrier between the built environment and the natural world, creating a pavilion-like feel that is also highly desirable in high-specification new-build projects across the borough.
FAQ for Patio Doors in Bexley
Do you install across the entire Bexley borough?

How much will new sliding patio doors in Bexley cost?
The final price depends on the door system, the size of the opening, the colour, and any optional extras. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us for a detailed, no-obligation quote.This is the most common question, and the honest answer is: it depends entirely on your unique specification.
The final cost of your sliding patio doors in Bexley is a composite of the door system (Slimline Sliding Patio Doors are a more premium system than Slide and Turn), the exact dimensions, the number of panels, the colour finish (standard colours are more cost-effective than bespoke RAL colours), and any chosen optional extras like integrated blinds, specialist solar control glass, or a flush threshold. To provide an accurate figure, we offer a free, detailed home survey where we listen to your ideas and take precise measurements. We then provide a fixed, itemised quotation with no hidden charges.
I’m planning a corner extension. Can your doors be used for this?
Absolutely. Both our Slimline and Ultra Slim systems can be configured for an ‘open corner’ design with no fixed corner post. This is a popular and very effective way to open up a new extension.
Can your doors be installed in a new extension?
Absolutely. We work closely with homeowners, architects, and builders on new-build and extension projects across Bexley. We can provide detailed technical drawings and specifications for your builder to create the perfect structural opening. Installing doors as part of a new build is often the ideal scenario.
I’m not keen on standard sliding doors or bifolds. Is there another option?
Yes, many people look for something different to create a unique feel. Our Ultra Slim – Slide and Turn system is a fantastic patio door alternative, giving you the special ability to create a 100% clear opening by stacking all the panels neatly to the side.
What is the typical lead time for installation?
We can usually supply and install your new patio doors within just 4 weeks from the date of your order confirmation.
What is a flush threshold?
A flush threshold is where the door track is recessed into your flooring, creating a completely level, step-free boundary between your indoor and outdoor space. It’s a key feature for achieving a high-end, architectural look and is also a practical choice for accessibility, removing any trip hazard for young children, the elderly, or wheelchair users. We highly recommend it, especially with our Slide and Turn system.
Are your doors secure enough for a London borough?
Security is paramount. All our doors are fitted with multi-point locking systems on the main opening panels and are internally glazed. Our Bexley sliding doors meet and exceed the latest security standards for peace of mind.
I’m undecided between aluminium and uPVC. Is aluminium really that much better?
The discussion around aluminium vs upvc sliding doors essentially comes down to material strength and design potential. Aluminium’s superior strength allows for significantly slimmer frames, which means more glass and a better view. It is also more dimensionally stable and durable, making it a better long-term investment.
What colours are popular for 1930s red brick homes in Bexley?
Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016) and Jet Black (RAL 9005) are by far the most popular choices as they creates a smart, modern contrast with the traditional red brick. We can powder coat frames in any RAL colour to match your preference.
I can’t decide between sliding doors and bifold doors. What are the key differences to consider?
The sliding doors vs bifold doors debate is a common one. Sliding doors offer much slimmer sightlines for a better view when closed, whereas bifolds offer a wider clear opening but with more visible frame. Our team can discuss the pros and cons of each in relation to your specific project during a free consultation.
We are building an extension and want to create a very large glass opening. What do you recommend?
For large openings, you need a system specifically designed to handle the scale and weight. Our Slimline sliding system is the perfect solution for extra wide external doors, capable of spanning openings over six metres wide with multiple sliding panels.
How energy efficient are aluminium doors?
Modern aluminium doors are extremely thermally efficient. They feature a ‘thermal break’ to stop cold transferring from the outside to the inside and are fitted with high-performance double or triple glazing. They will make your home warmer and help reduce your energy bills.
