Sliding door and window prices in Uckfield: example jobs

These are illustrative examples of typical door and window jobs around Uckfield, smallest first. They are not records of particular homes. Each figure is a range for the whole job, supplied and fitted, including VAT, and covers taking the old frames away and making good inside and out.

Your own price comes from the written quote after a survey. Scaffold for upstairs windows on a small job adds about £500. Rotten sills, damaged brickwork and new lintels are priced once the surveyor has seen them.

White uPVC French doors, closed, and a white uPVC kitchen window at the back of a brick semi-detached house typical of the 1960s and 70s, with a rotary washing line on the patio

Illustrative example of a typical job

White uPVC French doors and a kitchen window, 1970s semi in Uckfield

The house: A brick 1970s semi-detached house in Uckfield with an old sliding patio door at the back and a small kitchen window beside it.

The spec: A pair of white uPVC French doors, about 1500 mm wide, in the existing opening, plus one small white uPVC flush casement over the sink.

Typically £3,050 to £4,400, supplied and fitted, including VAT.

The cheapest way to swap a tired patio door for something that opens fully on a warm day. No widening, no steel, one day on site in most cases.

Grey composite front door with one glazed side light under a brick gabled porch on a brick detached house with a tile-hung gable

Illustrative example of a typical job

Composite front door with one side light, 1990s detached house in Maresfield

The house: One of the detached houses built in Maresfield since about 1990, with a draughty original front door and a glazed panel to one side.

The spec: A composite door around 920 by 2100 mm with a multi-point lock, and a matching glazed side light in the same frame colour.

Typically £3,300 to £6,000, supplied and fitted, including VAT.

The side light is what lifts the figure. Without it, the door on its own sits well inside this range.

Two-pane anthracite aluminium sliding door, one panel open, at the back of a brick detached house with a tile-hung gable and oak trees beyond the fence

Illustrative example of a typical job

Two-pane aluminium sliding door, 1980s house in Buxted

The house: A 1980s detached house on the former Britts farmland in Buxted, with a 2.4 metre patio opening onto the back lawn.

Typically £5,350 to £9,250, supplied and fitted, including VAT.

The opening was already the right width, so this is a straight swap. The spread in the range comes from glass spec, colour and threshold choice.

Dark grey aluminium French doors, open, and matching aluminium windows at the back of a two-storey brick house with fields beyond the garden

Illustrative example of a typical job

Aluminium French doors and two ground-floor windows, house in south Isfield

The house: A house in the more modern southern part of Isfield, where the back room looks out over open fields towards the Ouse.

The spec: Aluminium French doors around 1500 mm wide, plus two slimline aluminium casements in the same room, all in one dark grey.

Typically £5,950 to £9,950, supplied and fitted, including VAT.

Doing the doors and the windows in the same room together means the frames, colour and sightlines all match.

Illustrative example of a typical job

Three-pane aluminium sliding door across a rear extension, Uckfield

The house: A 2000s detached house on one of the newer Uckfield estates, with a single-storey kitchen extension and a 3.6 metre opening to the garden.

Typically £8,850 to £15,700, supplied and fitted, including VAT.

This is the job most people on the newer estates ask about. A four-pane bifold for the same opening is priced on the same basis, so choose on how you use it.

Typically £12,400 to £21,750, supplied and fitted, including VAT.

Typically £17,050 to £31,750, supplied and fitted, including VAT.

One survey, one order and one fitting team for the whole house. The windows are priced as a whole-house set, which brings the per-window figure down.

Why sliders and bifolds are not shown against each other

Because at the same size they land in the same bands. If a bifold suits your garden better, the example for a three-pane slider is a fair guide to a four-pane bifold across the same opening. Sliders or bifolds.
