How much sun will a door in Whitstable get?
At the latitude of Whitstable, the midday sun climbs to about 62° in late June but only about 15° in late December, when daylight lasts around 7 h 51 min against 16 h 37 min in midsummer.

How it works in Whitstable
In Whitstable the process is simple: guide price, free survey, written quote, manufacture and fitting, with the compliance certificate sent to you. Nothing is ordered until you confirm the surveyed specification in writing.
Approvals in England
In England, a replacement sliding door is a controlled fitting under the Building Regulations. In an existing home, a door with more than 60% glazing must reach a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or better (or a Doorset Energy Rating of band C) under Approved Document L, and glass in doors must be safety glazing under Approved Document K. We arrange compliance through a competent person scheme installer or by notifying Building Control, and you receive the certificate.
