Why this suits Kent
Bi-folds fold the whole opening away, which is why they suit the rear extensions that dominate improvement work in Kent. Worth knowing: they stack, so you lose the leaf width off the reveal.
Kentish ragstone and weatherboard vernacular, Victorian terraces, and heavy modern growth. Channel and estuary exposure, with real salt loading on both coasts. The failure that tends to come first is Salt corrosion at the coast and clay movement inland — worth knowing before you decide between repairing what you have and replacing it.
Long county — the Thanet coast is a materially longer run than the north-west. Order to the structural opening, measured in three places, smallest figure wins. How to measure properly.

Bi-fold doors in Kent — questions
Do you deliver to Kent?
Yes. Kent is 181 road miles from our Birmingham unit, which puts it in Zone D: 2–4 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 Kent?
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?
Kent covers BR8, CT1, CT10, CT11, CT12, CT13, CT14, CT15, CT16, CT17, CT18, CT19, CT2, CT20 and 59 more. Anything outside that list is still delivered — it just prices differently.
Is there a minimum order for Kent?
No minimum on the product. Delivery is priced by area and size of load, so a single unit to Kent carries a delivery charge that a full house of windows effectively absorbs.
