What that means if you are ordering from Melbourn
The driest region in the UK, with exposed fenland wind. Locally, the usual reason for replacement is this — Ground movement on shrinkable clay and fen peat distorting openings
Order to the structural opening — brick to brick, lintel to cill — measured in three places, using the smallest figure. Do not deduct a fitting tolerance yourself; that happens at our end. The full measuring method.
On a supply-only order you notify building control yourself and pay their fee. There is no FENSA or CERTASS certificate because no registered installer was involved — what that means when you sell the house. Settlement is a genuine issue on peat — re-measure at the point of order, not from old drawings.
What we deliver to Melbourn
Delivery to Melbourn — questions
Can I collect instead of paying for delivery?
Collection is a long day — most people take delivery. Collection is from Unit 1 Hems Crescent, Great Barr, Birmingham B43 5DG. Bring something big enough — a full door set does not go in a hatchback.
Who notifies building control on a supply-only order in Melbourn?
You do. Replacement windows and external doors are notifiable work, and with no registered installer involved there is no FENSA or CERTASS self-certification. If we install, we certify.
Which postcodes does that cover?
Melbourn covers SG8. Anything outside that list is still delivered — it just prices differently.
Is there a minimum order for Melbourn?
No minimum on the product. Delivery is priced by area and size of load, so a single unit to Melbourn carries a delivery charge that a full house of windows effectively absorbs.
Do you supply trade in Melbourn?
Yes. Trade accounts get ex-VAT pricing and the same lead time. Tell us you are trade when you send the sizes.
