Are supply-only sliding doors right for homes in Merseyside?
Before you settle on a door type, it helps to know what supply-only sliding doors do well and what to check before you order.
Builders working in Merseyside who already have a trusted fitter can use supply-only to keep installation in-house while still getting made-to-measure doors.
Ordering supply-only doors for a Merseyside build? Time the delivery for when the opening is ready, so the panels are not stored on site and at risk of damage.
- 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.
- 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.
- Clear measuring guidance and tolerances are provided before you order, helping you give dimensions the factory can build to accurately.

Daylight and glass in Merseyside
The midday sun over Merseyside ranges from about 13° at the winter solstice to about 60° 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 Merseyside
Do you deliver supply-only sliding doors to Merseyside?
Yes. We deliver made-to-measure supply-only doors across Merseyside, with standard delivery to mainland Britain at £95. Deliveries to Northern Ireland and the islands are quoted individually.
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.
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.
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.
