Supply-only sliding doors across the West Midlands
A few practical points decide whether supply-only sliding doors suit a particular room and opening:
Whoever fits a supply-only door at your West Midlands home, ask them up front how they will handle Building Regulations compliance.
Measuring an opening at a West Midlands property yourself? Take three widths and three heights and use the smallest of each, then follow our tolerance guidance.
- 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 the West Midlands
Because the West Midlands sees long summer days (about 16 h 50 min) and short winter ones (about 7 h 39 min), the elevation your door faces makes a real difference. With the midday sun at about 14° in winter, a south-facing door brings light well into the room; a west-facing door catches hot late-afternoon sun in summer.

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 the West Midlands
Can you measure for a supply-only order in the West Midlands?
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 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.
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.
