Bedwas bi-fold doors — survey, supply & install
Bedwas sits 2 miles from Caerphilly and 9 from Newport, and that's the patch this page covers. The aluminium bi-fold doors we fit here use thermally broken aluminium leaves and stainless steel running gear, which is what holds up against older semis where the whole house still has 1990s frames. Minutes from our own address, which means we can call back the same day if anything needs adjusting, so site visits and follow-ups don't drag.

Commercial premises, offices and managed sites
Who this page is for: commercial premises, offices and managed sites in Bedwas
Written for offices, units and managed premises. The job is priced on access and downtime as much as on the glazing itself, so this page sets out how we work around a trading business.
What this buyer actually needs from us
- One invoice with a purchase order reference for the finance team
- A programme that is confirmed in writing rather than provisional
- The crew takes the old glass off site in a labelled sack that day, not a skip left on the drive.
- The mitre joins on any Georgian bar are picked to face the corner that is least visible from indoors.
Work completed on trading premises out of hours, with the unit open as normal the next morning
What we typically find on bi-fold doors surveys around here
- ·The escutcheon plate on the back door hides a botched cylinder swap where the follower is worn.
- ·There is no drip groove on the underside of the cill — water tracks straight back onto the brick face.
- ·Original door furniture is 90s brass, tarnished, and no longer matches anything else on the elevation.
- ·The internal reveal plaster is spalling under the cill where condensation has run for years.
- ·The porch canopy has been leaking directly onto the top of the door for years — the top edge of the slab is soft.
- ·The internal glazing bead sits proud of the frame by 1.5mm, so the seal at the top corner has failed first.
- ·The multipoint keeps have worn a shallow groove where the hooks now catch — closing needs a lift-and-pull.
- ·A previous cylinder swap left the escutcheon plate rotating freely — a snap risk that nobody logged.
- ·The kitchen window has a defrost line across the low-e coating — argon gas long gone.
- ·One handle turns freely through 180° with no engagement — a snapped internal cam.
- ·The multipoint gearbox on the front door still throws, but the hooks miss the keeps by 2mm on the middle throw.
- ·The bottom rail on the sash has taken years of rain runoff and swollen enough to bind on the frame.
- ·The georgian bar between the panes has come detached from the top spacer on one unit.
- ·The mid-rail on the composite door is bowed outward at the middle by 2mm — a slab-warp symptom.
- ·Original beads have been over-painted so many times they no longer clip flush and rattle in a gust.
- ·The front-door hinge screws are 25mm chipboard fixings, not the manufacturer's 60mm hinge screws.
Why residents are booking bi-fold doors right now
- ·The resident has been quoted for solar and does not want the roof work to happen before the windows do.
- ·The homeowner wants the back door to be a family door — kids in and out, and no one having to slam it to lock.
- ·The resident cycles to work and wants a bike-in-porch design that a survey needs to plan around.
- ·The buyer wants the whole job done by one team who own the outcome — not designed in one place and fitted in another.
- ·The homeowner has watched the neighbour's job go in and knows exactly what they do and do not want.
- ·The buyer wants a written commitment on the sealant colour and the trim colour before any deposit changes hands.
- ·The homeowner wants the composite front door to survive a decade of coastal salt without going chalky.
- ·The owner is done reheating rooms every hour because the frames leak the heat straight back out again.
- ·A recent break-in on the street has moved security up the priority list ahead of aesthetics.
- ·The buyer is buying the property specifically for the garden and wants a bi-fold that opens the whole rear elevation.
- ·The owner is preparing the property for a rental switch and wants glazing to hit HMO fire-escape spec.
- ·The buyer is running a small business from the home office and wants the kerb to say established and settled.
- ·The owner has scaffolding booked for a re-render and wants the frames sequenced around the render trades.
- ·The buyer wants the porch to stay a porch and not turn into a mud room by function.
- ·The resident wants the noise of the school run down and the light from the morning sun up.
- ·The owner is done with rattling frames in a westerly and wants a demonstrable acoustic upgrade, not a numerical claim.
How our fitters actually do the work
- ·New frames sit on hardwood packers, not plastic offcuts — plastic creeps under load, timber does not.
- ·Fixings are always at the reinforcement points — a screw through the chamber alone loosens within a year.
- ·Any dropped hinges on the existing door are noted before the swap so the new frame is set for the correct drop.
- ·The frame drainage caps are proven flowing before the beading goes in — a bottle of water down the outer chamber.
- ·The old broken glass is bagged in a labelled sack, not tipped loose into a general skip.
- ·The internal cill is scribed to the reveal, not just butted and caulked over the gap.
- ·The door slab gets a full inspection before hanging — dents, delamination, edge integrity, all noted before fixings go through.
- ·The internal skirting is protected with a strip of packing tape across the top edge before any tool touches it.
- ·The install date is stamped inside the frame chamber for future reference — a decade later a client can still date it.
- ·The multipoint hooks are lubed with the manufacturer's grease, not household oil that dries and gums.
- ·The client's paint colour on the internal reveal is patched with matching paint the crew brings, not left for someone else.
- ·The perimeter airtight tape is applied over the frame flange in a single unbroken run around all four sides.
- ·The old cylinder is disposed of by the crew, not left in a bag on the drive for the client to bin.
- ·The glazing bead is tapped in with a rubber mallet, not a metal claw — the profile marks otherwise.
- ·The internal cill is scribed with a coping saw against the reveal plaster, not butted flush with a caulk joint.
- ·The frame reinforcing steel is confirmed inside the top rail before the transom fixing is chosen.

Faults we fix before recommending bi-fold doors
A sliding door that fights you is nearly always rollers and track debris, not a dead door.
French doors are a pair, so the fault is usually in how the two leaves meet rather than in either leaf on its own.
Most of the heat leaves through the roof and the frames, so that's where the money should go first.
