Why this suits Dorset
Bi-folds fold the whole opening away, which is why they suit the rear extensions that dominate improvement work in Dorset. Worth knowing: they stack, so you lose the leaf width off the reveal.
Purbeck and Portland stone, thatched vernacular, Victorian and modern coastal stock. Channel exposure with real salt loading along the coast. The failure that tends to come first is Salt corrosion of hardware and finish degradation on south-facing coastal elevations — worth knowing before you decide between repairing what you have and replacing it.
Marine-grade specification is the norm on the coastal strip. Order to the structural opening, measured in three places, smallest figure wins. How to measure properly.

Bi-fold doors in Dorset — questions
Is there a minimum order for Dorset?
No minimum on the product. Delivery is priced by area and size of load, so a single unit to Dorset carries a delivery charge that a full house of windows effectively absorbs.
Do you supply trade in Dorset?
Yes. Trade accounts get ex-VAT pricing and the same lead time. Tell us you are trade when you send the sizes.
Do you deliver to Dorset?
Yes. Dorset is 154 road miles from our Birmingham unit, which puts it in Zone C: 2–3 working days once made. Everything is made to your sizes before it goes on the vehicle.
Can I collect instead of paying for delivery?
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 Dorset?
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.
