Our process — adjusted for landlords

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.

Grappenhall survey days are grouped so travel stays tight — the workshop is under 10 min from our workshop, on the M6 J20 — 8 min corridor.

Landlords priorities, ordered

Every landlords survey we run in Grappenhall 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 Grappenhall 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 Grappenhall 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 Grappenhall projects in this bracket usually sit within the £1,900 – £4,200 band. Every figure on our quote is fixed and 90-day valid — no follow-up phone call to "re-cost".

Who this is for — and who it isn't

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 Grappenhall (WA4 2/WA4 3) that translates into sandstone village cottage and 1930s box-bay semi, mostly along the A50 Knutsford Road corridor.

The credibility bit

We hold spare mechanisms, chains and end-caps in the workshop for the systems we most often specify to landlord clients — so a snapped chain during a tenancy is fixed inside a week, not a fortnight.

The single biggest cause of landlord blind call-outs is the pull-cord — every product we specify for BTL is cordless or breakaway by design.

Specification evidence

What we check before pricing a WA4 2 project

Reveal depth, sash hardware, panel span and daily privacy needs are measured in person. That is why the usual Grappenhall project sits around £1,900 – £4,200, rather than being forced into a generic online estimate.
