Ordering supply-only doors for a Leicestershire build? Time the delivery for when the opening is ready, so the panels are not stored on site and at risk of damage.
- 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.
- 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.

Daylight and glass in Leicestershire
Sun angles matter for big glazed doors. Around Leicestershire, midday sun reaches about 61° in summer and drops to about 14° in winter. That low winter sun is free heat through south-facing glass; high summer sun is easier to shade with a roof overhang, and solar-control glass helps where there is none.
Where we deliver in Leicestershire
We deliver supply-only doors to Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley, Coalville, Wigston Magna, Melton Mowbray and the rest of Leicestershire.
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 Leicestershire
Can you measure for a supply-only order in Leicestershire?
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.
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.
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.
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.
