Are supply-only sliding doors right for homes in Greater London?
Here is what to weigh up if you are considering supply-only sliding doors for a home in Greater London:
Ordering supply-only doors for a Greater London build? Time the delivery for when the opening is ready, so the panels are not stored on site and at risk of damage.
Measuring an opening at a Greater London property yourself? Take three widths and three heights and use the smallest of each, then follow our tolerance guidance.
- The doors use the same frames, glass and hardware as our fitted doors, made to the sizes you give us rather than cut from standard stock.
- Delivery to mainland Britain is a standard £95, with Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Wight and the Isles of Scilly by arrangement.
- Manufacturer guarantees on frames, hardware and sealed units are passed to you, and the supply terms are set out in writing in your quote.

Daylight and glass in Greater London
The midday sun over Greater London ranges from about 15° at the winter solstice to about 62° at midsummer. Low-angle winter light reaches further into a room through a tall door, which is one reason taller panels are worth considering; on south or west walls, pair them with solar-control glass.

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 Greater London
Can you measure for a supply-only order in Greater London?
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.
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.
How much is delivery for supply-only doors?
Standard delivery for supply-only sliding doors is £95 to addresses in mainland Britain. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Wight and the Isles of Scilly are by arrangement, with the cost quoted individually. Delivery details, such as the date and any access restrictions at your address, are agreed before the door is dispatched.
What does supply-only mean?
Supply-only means we manufacture and deliver your made-to-measure sliding door, but we do not fit it. You, your builder or your own installer carry out the installation. The door uses the same frames, glass and hardware as our fitted doors. Supply-only is priced at roughly two thirds of the fitted guide price for the same door, plus delivery.
