Bifold doors in Reigate
Tell us about your Reigate project.
We supply and install bifold doors in Reigate, 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 Reigate and the doors that tend to suit them.
Reigate is a historic market town at the foot of the North Downs in Surrey. Its centre includes the Old Town Hall of 1728 and the grounds of Reigate Castle, while Priory Park and the National Trust land on Reigate Hill give the town a green setting close to the Surrey Hills.
Older houses and cottages in and around the town-centre conservation area.
Often suits: Heritage-style or timber bifold doors
Large brick villas on the roads around the town and towards Redhill, often extended at the rear.
Often suits: Heritage or aluminium bifold doors
Interwar and later houses on the slopes of the Downs, with views worth opening up.
Often suits: Wide aluminium bifold doors with slim sightlines
Planning is handled by Reigate and Banstead Borough Council. Much of the land around the town is Metropolitan Green Belt, which can limit the size of extensions, so establish what is allowed before designing the opening.
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.

No. Replacing doors in an existing opening is unaffected. The Green Belt mainly limits how far a home can be extended, so it matters if your bifold doors are part of a new extension.
Choose a system with slim frames, keep the panel count as low as the opening allows, and consider a corner arrangement or a fixed glass panel next to the doors to frame the view.
