The brief we hear from landlords in Hatton

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 Hatton (WA4 4) that translates into sandstone cottage and rural farmhouse, mostly along the Hatton Lane / A49 corridor.

Landlords priorities, ordered

Every landlords survey we run in Hatton 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

What we usually specify for a Hatton landlords project

Across Hatton 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 Hatton 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 Hatton projects in this bracket usually sit within the £2,500 – £6,500 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.

Hatton survey days are grouped so travel stays tight — the workshop is 10 min from stockton heath, on the M56 J10 — 5 min 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.

Property-fit proof

A specification shaped by sandstone cottage openings

We start with the opening, not a stock package. In Hatton, that means accounting for sandstone cottage, rural farmhouse, modern barn conversion and selecting frames, panel widths and materials around those constraints.
