New windows for Failsworth homes

Old windows give themselves away: draughts round the frames, misted panes, handles that no longer lock and condensation running down the glass every winter morning. Replacing them is one of the quickest ways to make a house warmer, quieter and more secure.

We supply and fit A-rated, energy-efficient uPVC windows, aluminium windows with slimmer frames that let in more light, and timber frames for period homes where uPVC would look wrong. Casements, bays and tilt-and-turn styles come in a wide choice of colours, and the products are made in Britain.

  • A-rated uPVC windows
  • Aluminium windows
  • Timber window frames
  • Bay and casement windows

Composite front doors, French, patio and bi-fold doors

The front door is the first thing visitors see and the first line of defence, so it has to look right and lock properly. A composite door has the solid feel of timber with a tough, weatherproof skin that keeps its colour and never needs painting.

We fit composite doors from the Distinction Doors and DOORCO ranges, in colours from anthracite and black to sage, duck-egg and oak-effect, with your choice of glass, handles and side panels. At the back of the house we fit French doors, patio doors and aluminium bi-folds. Every door has multi-point locking.

Doors we fit

  • Composite front doors
  • Back doors
  • French and patio doors
  • Aluminium bi-fold doors

Roof repairs and new roofs

Manchester weather finds every weak spot in a roof. A slipped slate, a cracked tile or a tired flat roof on the back extension can let water in for months before a stain shows on the ceiling, and by then the timbers underneath may be suffering too.

We repair pitched roofs in slate and tile, put right storm damage and leaks, replace worn flat roofs on extensions and outbuildings, and carry out full re-roofs when patching no longer makes sense. We look at the whole roof, not just the obvious damage, and explain what we find before quoting.

Fascias, Soffits and Guttering

  • uPVC fascia boards
  • Vented and solid soffits
  • New guttering
  • New downpipes

Fascias, soffits and guttering

The boards along the edge of the roof do more than finish it off. Fascias carry the gutters, soffits close the gap under the eaves, and the guttering takes rainwater away from the walls. When timber boards rot or a gutter sags and drips, damp walls usually follow.

We replace timber fascias and soffits with uPVC that will not rot, warp or need painting, with vented soffits where the loft needs air. We fit new guttering and downpipes in a choice of profiles and colours, repair leaking joints and broken brackets, and clear blocked gutters.

Bespoke joinery, made to measure

Some jobs need more than something off the shelf. Alcoves that are never quite square, a staircase that has seen better days or a garden that needs a proper structure are where made-to-measure joinery earns its place.

Our joiners make staircases, fitted wardrobes and alcove units, internal and external wooden doors, timber window frames for older properties, skirting, architraves and other finishing woodwork, plus pergolas, gates and garden buildings. Each piece is designed around the space it has to fill.

Inside the house

  • Bespoke staircases
  • Fitted wardrobes and alcove units
  • Wooden doors
  • Skirting and architraves

Outside

  • Timber window frames
  • Gates and fencing
  • Pergolas
  • Garden buildings
