The brief we hear from landlords in Altrincham

You want something that fits the deposit-return brief, survives an average AST, and doesn't invite tenant complaints about heat, glare or privacy.

Portfolio landlords, single-buy-to-let owners and letting agents who want the phone to stop ringing.

In Altrincham (WA14/WA15) that translates into Victorian villa and Edwardian semi, mostly along the A56 Manchester Road corridor.

The five things landlords always ask about

Every landlords survey we run in Altrincham lands on the same short list:

  1. Child-safety compliance (BS EN 13120) — no exposed cords
  2. Tough fabric or slat that survives a two-year AST cycle
  3. Spare parts stocked so a broken chain doesn't mean a full replacement
  4. Invoice addressed to the letting entity, not the tenant
  5. One team across a mixed portfolio — same spec, same paperwork

The default spec — before we've even seen the house

Across Altrincham landlords projects, the short list is short on purpose:

  • Spring-assist cordless roller blinds — child-safe by design
  • PVC-faced wooden Venetians — clean with a damp cloth between tenants
  • Blackout roller in tenant-neutral colours (stone, slate, mushroom)
  • Waterproof ABS shutters for bathrooms with poor extract

The final pick depends on the room, the light and the openings — decided on the survey, not by a call-centre.

Typical Altrincham spend

Typical spend £400–£900 per property for a 2-bed flat, £900–£1,600 for a 3-bed house. Trade discount kicks in from the fourth property.

Whole-house Altrincham projects in this bracket usually sit within the £2,500 – £7,500 band. Every figure on our quote is fixed and 90-day valid — no follow-up phone call to "re-cost".

How the survey and fit differ for this brief

We survey with your inventory clerk if you want — every measurement photographed and filed by property reference, and re-fits during void periods are prioritised so nothing sits on a spare-key run.

Altrincham survey days are grouped so travel stays tight — the workshop is 18 min from stockton heath, on the M56 J7 — 4 min corridor.
