Why this suits Greater Manchester
Bi-folds fold the whole opening away, which is why they suit the rear extensions that dominate improvement work in Greater Manchester. Worth knowing: they stack, so you lose the leaf width off the reveal.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces, large interwar council-built estates, and modern city-centre apartments. One of the wetter urban areas in England — persistent rain rather than storm exposure. The failure that tends to come first is Water ingress at cill and reveal junctions, and mould at reveals where trickle ventilation was never fitted — worth knowing before you decide between repairing what you have and replacing it.
Trickle vents are worth specifying here even where regulations do not force them. Order to the structural opening, measured in three places, smallest figure wins. How to measure properly.

Bi-fold doors in Greater Manchester — questions
Can I collect instead of paying for delivery?
Collection from Birmingham is realistic. 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 Greater Manchester?
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?
Greater Manchester covers BL0, BL1, BL2, BL3, BL4, BL5, BL6, BL7, BL8, BL9, M1, M11, M12, M13 and 72 more. Anything outside that list is still delivered — it just prices differently.
Is there a minimum order for Greater Manchester?
No minimum on the product. Delivery is priced by area and size of load, so a single unit to Greater Manchester carries a delivery charge that a full house of windows effectively absorbs.
Do you supply trade in Greater Manchester?
Yes. Trade accounts get ex-VAT pricing and the same lead time. Tell us you are trade when you send the sizes.
