Your project
Bifold Doors for your property
Bifold doors can form part of a new opening, an extension or a change to existing glazing. Building Services London offers bifold door services across London and surrounding M25 areas. Begin with the property location and the opening you are considering.
Think about the relationship between the room and the space beyond it. The arrangement of the panels and the room around them can influence everyday use as much as the appearance of the glazing.
An enquiry can start with a description and photographs of the existing area. If drawings or a product specification are available, mention them. The opening and installation details need to be established for the actual property.
Choosing the scope
Consider the opening and how it is used
Consider how the doors will be opened and where the folded panels would sit. Furniture, access routes and the usable space on both sides should be part of the discussion.
Frame finish, glazing and hardware should be confirmed against the complete product specification. Ask for the relevant information rather than assuming a particular performance from a general product category.
Where the work involves changing an opening, the associated building requirements and responsibilities need to be established. Product installation and structural alterations are distinct parts of the scope.
Quotation details
Make the proposed work clear
Clarify whether you are replacing an existing set or considering a new arrangement. Include available dimensions, drawings and access information. Final measurements should be confirmed before product ordering or installation is agreed.
The proposal should identify the product, opening arrangement, finishes and any surrounding work included. Thresholds, floor transitions and making-good need clear discussion for the actual site.
BSL offers free quotations. Confirm the scope, exclusions and applicable guarantee terms with the quotation. Costs and timing depend on the product, opening and work required.

Include your postcode, the intended use and any related interior or outdoor work when you call 020 3553 2214. You do not need every finish chosen to make an initial enquiry.
Planning the work
Plan how the opening works with the room and garden
Begin with the space on both sides of the proposed doors. Describe the furniture arrangement, route to the garden and the way you expect to use the opening. Panel configuration and opening direction need to be considered alongside available space. If the room is also being refurbished, include the floor finish, nearby units and any other features that affect the finished layout.
Distinguish replacement doors from work that changes the opening itself. Share the existing arrangement, proposed dimensions and available drawings. Structural changes, thresholds, adjoining finishes and product installation may involve separate responsibilities. Ask the quotation to identify those boundaries so the visible door product is not mistaken for the entire building package.
A photograph showing the room and outside space together can help explain the intended connection. Identify nearby furniture, garden levels and features that will remain. If those elements are changing, share the proposed layout rather than only the existing opening so product configuration and the surrounding work are discussed from the same information.
Questions answered
Bifold Doors FAQs
Can I enquire about an existing opening?
Yes. Describe the current arrangement and the changes you want to discuss.
Should the floor level be considered?
Include information about adjoining floors and outdoor areas so the threshold and installation details can be discussed for the site.
Do I need to choose a brand first?
No. You can begin with the opening and your requirements. Product details should be confirmed before agreeing work.
Can bifolds be included in a house extension?
Yes. Share the extension drawings and explain how the new room connects with the garden. Include the preferred opening arrangement and related floor finishes. Product selection and final measurements should be coordinated with the building proposal, with responsibility for the opening, installation and surrounding work clearly identified in the quotation.
How do I describe the panel arrangement I want?
Show how you expect to move through the opening and where you would like the panels to sit when open. Photographs or product examples can help explain your preference. Confirm suitability and the final configuration for the actual opening before ordering, including the relationship with furniture, walls and the external space.
What should I check about surrounding finishes?
Explain the internal and external surfaces meeting the doors and identify retained flooring or landscaping. Ask which preparation, junctions and making good are included in the proposal. Where other contractors supply adjoining work, confirm their interface with the door installation so the finished opening is considered as a complete arrangement.
Can I choose the doors before the opening is finished?
An early product preference can inform the project discussion, but confirm how final dimensions and the installation arrangement will be established. Share the proposed configuration with the people responsible for the opening and adjoining work. Keep the specification current if the layout changes, and agree supply and installation responsibilities before placing the final order.
