What is the price of patio and bifold door security glass in Shepherds Bush?
Guide prices for patio and bifold door security glass in Shepherds Bush are £354 to £1,074 including VAT (£295 to £895 plus VAT) per pane for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before any glass is ordered.
Patio and bifold door security glass means fitting large sealed units with a laminated pane into sliding, French or bifolding doors. These doors are usually the biggest glass at the back of the house and out of view, so making the glass hold when it is struck closes one of the easiest routes in.
What you can specify
- Glass lifters and enough installers for heavy panes
- Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane
- Units sized for sliding, French and bifold doors
- Roller, carriage and hinge adjustment after fitting
- Security tape on externally beaded frames
- Low-E, argon and solar control glass options

Questions we will ask at the survey
Door hardware
Glass is only part of the picture. Worn rollers, missing anti-lift blocks or old locks are often worth fixing at the same visit.
Solar control
South-facing doors can overheat. Adding solar control glass at the same time keeps rooms cooler.
Building regulations and safety in England
Security rules for new homes
Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Shepherds Bush: questions
Do you cover Notting Hill as well as Shepherds Bush?
Yes. As well as Shepherds Bush, we can arrange surveys in nearby Notting Hill, Chiswick and Fulham. Dates depend on installer availability.
Do you work on aluminium bifolds?
Yes, on aluminium, uPVC and timber doors, provided the frame can take the new unit thickness.
Can sliding doors be lifted out?
Older sliding doors without anti-lift blocks can be. We check for this at the survey and can fit blocks at the same visit.

Yes. Each leaf takes its own unit, so we can upgrade one leaf or all of them.
