How much do patio doors cost to install?
It's the most-searched question in Stockport — and the honest answer is 'it depends on the type'. A standard 2-pane uPVC sliding patio door starts around £1,500 fitted. French doors typically run £2,000–£3,500. Premium aluminium bi-folds sit between £4,000 and £8,000+ depending on width and finish. See our full pricing guide for windows and doors for more cost breakdowns across our range.
Sliding, French or bi-fold — which is right for you?
Sliding doors maximise glass area for modest openings and never intrude on patio space. French doors give a classic, symmetrical look and full open-out airflow — ideal for period homes. Bi-folds concertina back to give you the widest possible opening, transforming the back of the house in summer. If you're opening up a kitchen-diner, you may also want to consider a conservatory or orangery extension for even more living space.
Can I install patio doors myself?
It's a question we get asked a lot. In a brick wall, fitting patio doors involves load-bearing lintels, accurate levelling, weatherproof sealing and FENSA-compliant building-regs sign-off. A poorly-fitted patio door leaks heat, lets in water and is a security weak point. For peace of mind, a 10-year guarantee and a single point of accountability, professional installation is almost always the better choice.

Sliding, French or bi-fold — what's the difference?+
Sliding doors give you maximum glass for narrower openings. French doors swing fully open for classic symmetry and great airflow. Bi-folds concertina back to give the widest possible opening — best for connecting kitchen-diners to the garden.
Are bi-fold doors secure?+
Yes — modern aluminium bi-folds use multi-point locking on the main door and shoot-bolts on each panel, and the ranges we fit are PAS 24 accredited. We talk you through the security spec before you commit.
Can I install patio doors myself?+
We don't recommend it. Patio door installs involve lintels, levelling, weather-sealing and FENSA building-regs sign-off. Poor fitting leaks heat, lets in water and weakens security. Professional installation gives you a 10-year guarantee and a single point of accountability.
