Bi-Fold Doors in Southampton
Bi-Fold Doors in Southampton, booked ahead as a planned project.
What we do in Southampton
On a warm day, a front that folds right back pulls people in off the pavement. We fit commercial bi-fold systems for cafés, bars and restaurants in Southampton, with a built-in traffic door for everyday use.
During the survey we check the beam above and the drainage below, because the panels hang from the top track and need a level, well-drained threshold. Areas we cover include Above Bar Street, Bedford Place, Bitterne and Eastleigh.
Southampton is a long way from our Midlands base, so work there is booked as a planned project and fitted in as few trips as possible.
Shopping streets and planning in Southampton
Being near the sea, salt air can attack cheap fixings and poorly finished metal. We use suitable fixings and quality powder-coat finishes so the front keeps its looks.
The city centre has Westquay and Above Bar Street for national retail, while Bedford Place and London Road have independent bars, restaurants and shops. Portswood, near the university, and Shirley High Street are busy local centres with plenty of takeaways, salons and convenience stores.
What you get from us
The same standard on every bi-fold doors job, whichever town it is in.
The whole front opens
Panels stack to the side, so most of the width becomes an open entrance on warm days.
A normal door for every day
A built-in traffic door means you only fold the front when you want to.
Warm in winter
Thermally broken frames and double glazing keep the front from becoming a cold spot when closed.
Easy to step through
Low thresholds suit wheelchairs and buggies, and are detailed so rain still drains away outside.

From first call to finished job
The steps for a bi-fold doors job, in the order they happen.
Your idea
Tell us how wide the front is, how you trade and whether you want to fold one way or both.
Check the structure
We measure, check the beam above and the floor below, and look at drainage outside.
Panel layout and price
You get a drawing showing the number of panels and fold direction, with a fixed price.
Fit
The old front is removed and the bi-fold system installed, glazed and adjusted.
Show and tell
We show staff the right order to fold and lock the panels, which keeps the hinges from being strained.
Bi-fold door prices
The number of panels and the width are the main factors. These are typical ranges for commercial fronts.
Prices are before VAT. We confirm the exact figure in writing after the survey.
Questions people ask about bi-fold doors
It depends on the width and the panel size. Most shopfronts use three to seven panels. Wider fronts can split into two sets that fold to each side.
Usually, yes, because the front will look different. Listed buildings and conservation areas also need extra consents. We help with drawings for the application.
Yes. Each panel locks into the next and into the frame top and bottom. Laminated glass and an external shutter add more protection.
Sweep and wipe the bottom track weekly so grit does not wear the rollers, and have the system adjusted once a year.
