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 County Durham
Do you deliver supply-only sliding doors to County Durham?
Yes. We deliver made-to-measure supply-only doors across County Durham, with standard delivery to mainland Britain at £95. Deliveries to Northern Ireland and the islands are quoted individually.
Who is responsible for measuring a supply-only door?
For supply-only orders you are responsible for measuring the opening and giving us the sizes, unless you book one of our surveys. We provide measuring guidance and tolerances, and confirm the sizes back to you in writing before ordering. If you book a survey, our surveyor measures and the responsibility for the sizes then sits with us.
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.
How heavy are supply-only sliding door panels?
Sliding door panels with double glazed safety glass are heavy, and large panels can weigh well over the safe limit for one person to lift, especially with triple glazing. Plan for enough people on site to unload, carry and position each panel, and keep the route from the delivery point to the opening clear and level.
