What that means if you are ordering from Gorseness
Extreme wind exposure with heavy salt loading and almost no shelter. Locally, the usual reason for replacement is this — Wind load on large panes and rapid corrosion of anything not marine grade
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. Freight to the islands is a separate leg — allow real time for it.

Can I collect instead of paying for delivery?
Delivery only — book the slot early. 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 Gorseness?
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?
Gorseness covers KW17. Anything outside that list is still delivered — it just prices differently.
