No. 12684765 Working in Kent ## What it's like fitting glazing in Kent Kent is a substantial secondary catchment for us — the QE2 crossing puts North Kent within an hour of our Essex base, and we run regular bi-fold and aluminium glazing installs through DA and ME postcodes. Larger projects through TN and CT — typically full-house glazing or substantial extension bi-folds — are quoted on a project basis with a confirmed install window. Smaller single-door jobs in deeper Kent we'll discuss honestly before booking. Quote slots typically diaried inside seven working days for Kent. Local building control varies by district; Certass notification handled by us regardless of authority. Postcodes: **DA, ME, TN and CT (north and west Kent priority)** · Neighbourhoods: Dartford, Gravesend, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Maidstone · Local landmarks: the QE2 Bridge, the M25 / M26 corridor, the Medway Towns.

Who runs your job ### Billy Hutcherson Director, Bi Folds & Windows Direct of Essex Ltd Billy is the director of Bi Folds & Windows Direct of Essex Ltd — a family-run business incorporated on 20 June 2020 (Companies House No. 12684765) that supplies and installs aluminium bi-fold doors, uPVC and aluminium windows, composite front doors and roof lanterns directly to homeowners across Essex, Kent and Hertfordshire. What we see locally ## Common bi-fold doors problems in Kent Patterns that come up specifically because of Kent's housing stock — typical property age, build style, and local exposure. ### Bi-fold tracks fouling on uneven thresholds Most Kent bi-fold callbacks we get asked to fix are tracks that weren't shimmed level at install. Once a track's twisted, the doors won't sit square. We level and DPM every threshold at survey, before doors are ordered. ### Underspecified pane sizes Aluminium bi-folds can run pane sizes most installers won't quote — but only with the right system and the right glass. Going too small for the opening costs you light and visual width. We size to the opening, not to a default catalogue. ### Cheap PVC bi-folds in large openings PVC bi-folds work in small openings but the frames are bulky and the pane size is restricted. For most Kent rear extensions, aluminium gives slimmer sightlines and a 25–30-year frame life — usually the right call. ### Hardware corrosion from coastal/exposed sites Marine-grade hardware matters for any Kent install with significant exposure. We specify upgraded rollers and locks where the site demands it — standard hardware doesn't last in the wrong location.
