Bi-fold Doors
in Stirling,
opening onto the view.

We cover the whole of Stirling and the Forth Valley, and nothing is added for the journey. A surveyor calls at your house, whether that is Cornton, King's Park, St Ninians or out at Plean, measures the opening and leaves a free quote with you. There is no obligation and nobody will chase you for an answer.

Most installations land between £2,500 and £6,500. A three panel uPVC set sits at the lower end and a six panel aluminium run at the upper. Panel count, frame material and the glazing specification are what move the figure, and any structural work is priced separately at the survey. Various deposit options are available.

A six panel aluminium bi-fold will span up to 6 metres, around 20 feet. Wider is possible with a bespoke configuration. What decides it is the frame material, the number of panels and whether the wall above can carry the span, which is exactly what the surveyor is there to work out.

It can. The older parts of the city and the streets below the castle sit inside conservation areas and a number of buildings there are listed, so work to the rear elevation may still need consent from Stirling Council. We will flag it at the survey rather than let you find out later. On the post-war and modern housing at Broomridge, Borestone and Chartershall there is normally nothing in the way.

If you are making a new opening or widening one you already have, yes, and it is usually a steel one. The surveyor assesses the wall and specifies it, a structural engineer is brought in where the span calls for it, and the lintel goes in as part of our work. Allow an extra day on site when structural work is involved.

Aluminium gives the slimmest sightlines, takes any RAL colour and carries the weight of a long run best, so it is the usual answer over about 3 metres. uPVC costs less, needs nothing doing to it and still performs well on heat. For a wide rear opening catching the wind off the carse, aluminium is the one we would point you at.

A plastic thermal break runs through the middle of every aluminium frame, so the cold cannot travel straight through the metal, and the units are argon filled double or triple glazing. U-values start from 1.2. Brush and rubber seals on each panel and a drainage track rated to Class 4 for weather deal with the wet side of it.

Yes. One panel is set up as a traffic door and works like any other back door, so the dog, the bins and the washing do not need the full run opened. You choose which end it sits at and which way the rest stack.

A flush track sits level with decking or a patio and gives you a step free walk out, which suits a sheltered garden. A weathered sill stands slightly proud and sheds water better on an exposed elevation. The surveyor will tell you which your house actually needs rather than sell you the flatter one.

Yes. We offer Buy Now Pay 12 Months Later, flexible credit up to 24 months, and longer-term flexible credit up to 10 years. The initial eligibility check is a soft search with no impact on your credit score, and gives an instant decision. Ultimate Home Solutions is authorised by the FCA as a credit broker (not a lender).

All workmanship is guaranteed. That covers the way the track is levelled, the panels hung and adjusted and the whole run sealed, and you can phone the office seven days a week if anything needs another look.
