Are supply-only sliding doors right for homes in Cornwall?
Here is what to weigh up if you are considering supply-only sliding doors for a home in Cornwall:
Whoever fits a supply-only door at your Cornwall home, ask them up front how they will handle Building Regulations compliance.
Builders working in Cornwall who already have a trusted fitter can use supply-only to keep installation in-house while still getting made-to-measure doors.
- Every door is confirmed back to you in a written specification before ordering, so frame size, handing, colour and glass can be checked one last time.
- Clear measuring guidance and tolerances are provided before you order, helping you give dimensions the factory can build to accurately.
- Booking one of our surveys transfers the responsibility for measuring to us, which is a sensible option if you are unsure about sizes or tolerances.

Daylight and glass in Cornwall
At the latitude of Cornwall, the midday sun climbs to about 63° in late June but only about 16° in late December, when daylight lasts around 8 h 01 min against 16 h 26 min in midsummer. A south-facing supply-only sliding door lets that low winter sun deep into the room; on a west or south elevation, solar-control glass keeps summer afternoons comfortable.
Where we deliver in Cornwall
We deliver supply-only doors to Redruth, Falmouth, St Austell, Truro, Camborne, Newquay and the rest of Cornwall.
Who handles approvals?
If you buy supply only, whoever fits the door is responsible for Building Regulations compliance and safety glazing. In England a replacement door is a controlled fitting, so compliance is arranged through a competent person scheme installer or Building Control; new openings need a Building Regulations application.
Questions about supply-only sliding doors in Cornwall
Can you measure for a supply-only order in Cornwall?
Yes, if you would like us to. Any charge for a supply-only survey is confirmed when you book; otherwise you give us the sizes, and you are responsible for them.
Can I cancel a supply-only order?
Supply-only doors are made to your specification, so under regulation 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 they are excluded from the usual 14-day cancellation right once ordered. For that reason we order nothing until you confirm the specification in writing. Your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, for example if goods are faulty, are unaffected.

Do you deliver to Northern Ireland and the islands?
Yes, we can deliver supply-only doors to Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Wight and the Isles of Scilly by arrangement.
