We supply and install bifold doors in Crowborough, from replacement garden doors to full-width openings on new extensions. The right choice depends a lot on the type of house, so this page looks at the homes we see most often in Crowborough and the doors that tend to suit them.
Crowborough is one of the highest towns in Sussex, set on the edge of Ashdown Forest in the High Weald. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle lived there for more than twenty years, and the town is known for large houses on generous wooded plots.
Substantial tile-hung and brick homes on large plots, often with space for a big garden room or rear extension.
Often suits: Large aluminium or timber bifold doors
Traditional houses in the surrounding hamlets and lanes, where the doors need to suit the character of the building.
Often suits: Heritage-style or timber bifold doors
Newer detached homes around the town, often upgrading existing patio doors.
Often suits: Aluminium or Origin bifold doors
Planning is handled by Wealden District Council, and the town sits within the High Weald National Landscape. Because of the town's height, exposed elevations can face strong wind and driving rain, so the weather rating of the door system matters more than usual.
Separately from planning, replacing an external door that is more than half glazed is controlled work under the Building Regulations. The installer should be registered with a competent person scheme such as FENSA, which certifies the work and notifies your council, or the installation needs approval from building control. New openings and extensions need building control sign-off in their own right. You can check whether any installer is registered on the FENSA website.

They can, if you choose a system with a high weather rating and good drainage, and position the doors to avoid the prevailing wind where possible. On very exposed elevations, a canopy or overhang above the doors also helps.
For openings over about five metres, sliding doors are often the better choice because they need fewer frames and stay weathertight more easily. See our bifold vs sliding doors guide.
