Norfolk is a county of flint and pantile cottages, Georgian Norwich terraces and coastal second homes. That is exactly the kind of building stock a sliding-door wardrobe has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
Off-the-shelf units are made to standard sizes and then filled out with scribe strips. Our sliding-door wardrobe work is cut to the dimensions taken from your Norfolk property, so there is no packing, no filler and no gap that opens up in year two.
How we build it
Timber is chosen for the room it is going into. Painted work is built in tulipwood and moisture-resistant MDF because they hold a crisp arris and take a sprayed finish without grain rise. Where the grain is meant to be seen we use European oak, walnut or ash, with veneers laid so the figure runs continuously across a set of doors.
Finish and materials
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

Straight answers
Sliding Door Wardrobes in Norfolk — common questions
What can the door panels be made from?
Mirror, painted glass, veneered panel, painted MDF, or a framed combination of two or three. Mirror adds a lot of weight, so the gear is sized accordingly.
Can I have three doors instead of two?
Yes. Three doors on a two-track system means one bay is always covered. Three tracks gives you access to any two bays at once but pushes the carcass deeper.
How heavy can a sliding door be?
Standard domestic gear handles up to about 80kg per leaf. A full-height mirrored door can reach that on its own, which is why we specify the gear after the panel material is chosen, not before.
How much space do sliding doors take up inside?
The top track and bottom guide take roughly 100mm off the internal depth. On a 650mm carcass that still leaves comfortable square hanging; on a 550mm carcass it does not, so we would recommend hinged doors instead.
What guarantee do you give?
Ten years on workmanship. Hardware carries the manufacturer's warranty, which on good runners and hinges is usually lifetime. Finishes are guaranteed for five years against flaking or delamination in normal domestic use.
