Why this suits Dorset
A slider keeps every pane in the opening rather than stacking into the room, so it suits the narrower rear elevations common across Dorset.
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.

Sliding patio doors in Dorset — questions
What if the delivery is damaged?
Check it on the vehicle and note anything on the paperwork before the driver leaves. Damage reported at that point is replaced; damage found a fortnight later is much harder to resolve.
How long does delivery to Dorset take?
About a week from order for standard products in standard finishes, then 2–3 working days once made for the run to Dorset. Special RAL colours and made-to-measure joinery take longer, and you get a firm date before you pay.
Do you install in Dorset?
Installation is available and quoted as a separate line, so you can see exactly what the fitting costs against the product. The product still arrives on the supply-only lead time; the fitting date depends on the diary.
What size do I order to?
The structural opening — brick to brick, lintel to cill. Measure in three places and use the smallest figure. Do not take a fitting tolerance off yourself; that is done at our end.
What usually needs replacing in Dorset?
Salt corrosion of hardware and finish degradation on south-facing coastal elevations. That is the pattern across most of the county, though an individual property can differ.
