I never thought anything could make my apartment look even bigger, but Foldingslidingdoors.com did just that! They give me amazing views without blocking the panes with wall-to-wall windows!

Excellent product and services
I have used The Folding Sliding Door Company for about 6 years and have nothing but positive things to say about their sales, customer service and install teams. I had 1 slight issue a few years ago which was accidental and I understood these things happen but even with that being said they still went above and beyond to make sure the issue was sorted quick. I've worked in this industry for years now and have tried so many companies out there but I just wouldn't go anywhere else anymore. My customers are always chuffed with the results and the products. I would highly recommend this company.

Mr Burrows

On 31/05/22 I emailed FSDC to explain the opening door in our inward opening bifolds had dropped slightly. Later the same day FSDC emailed to explain that they would be in touch to arrange an engineer visit. On 08/06/22 two engineers (Kev & Alan) visited and make slight adjustments to rectify the issue. They were both extremely helpful, friendly and keen to resolve the issues.

This is our second purchase from FSDC and we are very happy with the product and with the service we have received so far.
Mrs Easton

Delivery driver was absolutely awesome, and installation team were quick, efficient and friendly! Mostly great dealings with the office team too except an unfortunate ambiguity over a late surprise price change. Overall very happy indeed with the doors themselves and the internal blinds are top class!

Since 5 years passed of our Folding Sliding Doors being installed, this is a real and honest feedback for this company. First of all, it’s a great product. Next, we are extremely happy with their customer service team, esp. Nathan. They respond very quickly once requested. They also put extra care and time every time when servicing our patio doors (which happens on a regular basis). Highly recommended. 5 stars.

Friendly + proficient young team - Bobby + Jack. Advised arrival time day before + arrived promptly. Focused on job + well-mannered. Articulate at explaining issues I didn’t understand. Suggested making a how to operate + lock video as I’m handing over to new owners. Tidy + did the job to proper standard. Didn’t cut corners. Cleared everything away + no mess left. Felt reassured with one year warrantee for work done. In all dealings with the firm, as I tried to get fixed without call-out + ordering parts, found customer service super efficient. Susan in particular. Thank you team.
