North West projects sit alongside London as our most-delivered region. Estates teams pick us because the fabrication, finish and install supply chain is single-sourced and accountable.
Continuous delivery history across Manchester, Liverpool, Chester, Preston and the wider region since the early 2000s.
Multi-week programmes run with continuous-attendance crews so sequencing and snag management stay with one team.
Slim-sightline systems acceptable to Chester city centre conservation officers and Manchester's Northern Quarter heritage requirements.

What we typically find on North West commercial stock.
Three patterns dominate North West specification — heritage retail, post-1980s curtain wall, and inland industrial estate shutters at end of life.
Heritage retail in Chester and the Northern Quarter
Chester's Rows and Manchester's Northern Quarter both carry conservation status. We specify slim-sightline aluminium with sympathetic transom detailing accepted by both city centre conservation teams.
1980s and 1990s curtain wall
Manchester and Liverpool carry significant 1980s/90s commercial stock with curtain wall actively losing EPC grades. We overclad or replace floor-by-floor with thermally broken Kestrel commercial curtain wall.
Industrial estate shutters
Trafford Park, Speke, Knowsley and Skelmersdale logistics estates carry thousands of industrial shutters at end of life. We replace with insulated industrial-grade roller shutters carrying CE marking and a 12-month motor warranty.
Seafront and coastal corrosion in Blackpool
Blackpool seafront stock suffers accelerated powder-coat breakdown. We specify Qualicoat-approved marine-grade finishes tested to BS EN 1670 Grade 4 coastal-corrosion.
