Lead times

Manufacture usually takes 5-6 weeks after drawing sign-off. Installation in Northampton is usually a day or two once everything is made. If you cannot close, we can work outside trading hours.

About the product

Steel takes an impact that aluminium will not, so it is the usual choice for units that have been targeted before or that sit on a late-night street. Common specifications: crittall-style glazing bar patterns; pairs well with a roller shutter for two layers of delay.

Do you need consent?

In Northampton, applications go to West Northamptonshire Council. Like-for-like work rarely needs consent, whereas a new look, an outside shutter box or a lit fascia generally needs an application. We flag it at survey so it never delays the fit.

Price guide

The entry price is about £3,600 plus VAT. Size, specification and strip-out decide the exact number. Once issued, the price is fixed for 90 days unless the specification changes.
