Supply-only sliding doors across Kent
These are the points a surveyor will go through with you when you choose supply-only sliding doors for a home in Kent:
Measuring an opening at a Kent property yourself? Take three widths and three heights and use the smallest of each, then follow our tolerance guidance.
If your Kent property is on a narrow street or has no parking outside, tell us before delivery so a sensible drop-off point can be agreed.
- 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.
- Supply-only costs roughly two thirds of the fitted guide price for the same door, which can make sense when you already have a capable fitter on site.
- 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 Kent
Because Kent sees long summer days (about 16 h 36 min) and short winter ones (about 7 h 52 min), the elevation your door faces makes a real difference. With the midday sun at about 15° in winter, a south-facing door brings light well into the room; a west-facing door catches hot late-afternoon sun in summer.
Where we deliver in Kent
We deliver supply-only doors to Broadstairs, Maidstone, Gillingham, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Folkestone, Margate and the rest of Kent.
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 Kent
Can you measure for a supply-only order in Kent?
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.
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. Delivery to these areas is quoted individually because it depends on the route and the size of the consignment. Tell us the full delivery address when you ask for a quote so we can price it.
Can I fit a sliding door myself?
Fitting a sliding door yourself is possible if you are experienced with joinery and glazing, but large panels are heavy and the frame must be fitted square, level and well sealed for the door to run and drain properly. You also need to deal with Building Regulations compliance. Many people use supply-only with a builder they already trust.
Do supply-only doors need building regulations sign-off?
Yes, in England a replacement door is a controlled fitting, so whoever installs it must either be registered with a competent person scheme and self-certify the work, or notify Building Control. With supply-only, that responsibility sits with your fitter, not with us. The door must also meet the energy and safety glazing requirements, which we confirm in the specification.
