Bad Weather for Bifolds...
I warn you – I'm going to be typically British (and boring..) and talk about the weather a fair bit in this post, but not without justification!
I think the weather conditions that huge parts of the UK are braving at the moment certainly deserve a mention on our blog – bifold door related or not!

The saturated South-West!
Weather does play a big part in our installations.
Fortunately, we’ve been lucky so far this year and only have had to postpone one fit because of theflooding.
Which to be honest is surprising, seeing as all of our fits are located in the South West, and often South Wales – both areas severely hit by the ferocious floods of the last few weeks and the gale force winds.
I think anyone with a build project happening at the moment will tell you that the weather is a hugely important factor when making changes to your property, and constant downpours and hurricane style winds are definitely not appreciated.
Most of the sites we’ve visited recently have been mud-baths according to our fitters, especially sites where there is lots of building work going on.
Of course, this is something that can’t be helped, but it certainly hinders our installation process – as there are certain things that cannot (and shouldn’t!) happen during a fitting in such poor conditions.
Rain rain go away...
When fitting on a bustling building site, with dust, mud and paint still being flung around, then it is especially important that your doors are protected with either dust sheets or damp course sheeting.
The terrible weather we’ve been having recently does tend to add to the chaos of an already building site – making small problems like this more and more common.
However – any problems we have experienced in the last few weeks have been very small, in comparison to the widespread devastation the weather has caused.
Our vans have managed to brave the deep floods surrounding us and power through to their installations as scheduled.
Canoes & Jet-skis to the rescue!
As you can see above – we are prepared to go to great lengths to get to our customers!
