Windows and Doors in Chelmsford

Bi-folds, sliding doors and replacement windows, sized into the structural openings as part of the build.

We fit windows and doors in Chelmsford and across Essex: bi-folds, sliding doors, French doors and replacement windows, set into properly formed openings.

Working with you

The right opening, not just new glass

We help you choose between bi-folds, sliders and French doors for how you use the room, then form and support the opening properly so the doors sit and open as they should. SET Building & Brickwork has over 15 years in the trade.

  • Opening sized and supported first

Bi-fold and sliding doors

Both open up the rear of a property, and the choice between them comes down to how you want the opening to work. Bi-folds stack to one side, while sliding doors give larger uninterrupted panes when closed.

The opening needs to be designed with the door in mind, which is why we prefer to size it into the structure from the start.

Replacement windows

Replacing windows affects both the appearance of the property and its thermal performance. Frame material, sightlines and how the units sit within the reveal all make a difference to the finished result.

Front doors

An entrance door is one of the more visible elements of a property. The considerations are security, thermal performance and how the door and frame sit within the existing opening.

Roof glazing

A rooflight or lantern is the difference between a bright extension and a dark one, particularly in the centre of a deeper plan. They are specified alongside the roof rather than afterwards.

Questions about windows and doors

Bi-fold or sliding doors?

It depends how you want to use the opening. Bi-folds open the full width, while sliding doors give larger panes of glass when closed. We will talk through both when we look at the job.

Do you fit glazing supplied by someone else?

Yes. We need the specification and sizes early so the structural opening is formed to suit.

Can you replace windows on their own?

Yes, window and door replacement can be carried out as standalone work as well as part of a larger project.
