The brief we hear from landlords in Lowton
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.

Our short list of products for this brief
Across Lowton 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.

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.
Lowton survey days are grouped so travel stays tight — the workshop is 20 min from stockton heath, on the M6 J22 — 3 min corridor.
Where we've earned this pitch
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 1930s semi openings
We start with the opening, not a stock package. In Lowton, that means accounting for 1930s semi, 1970s detached, modern estate and selecting frames, panel widths and materials around those constraints.

Common Questions
Frequently asked
Would you specify waterproof abs shutters for bathrooms with poor extract on a 1930s semi in Lowton?
Regularly — Waterproof ABS shutters for bathrooms with poor extract. On Lowton properties (Wigan Council, WA3 1/WA3 2, A580 East Lancs Road) the final call comes down to reveal depth, light aspect and opening size, decided at the survey.
Why does "spare parts stocked so a broken chain doesn't mean a full replacement" matter for landlords in Lowton?
Priority 3 on every landlords survey. Full brief: spare parts stocked so a broken chain doesn't mean a full replacement. In Lowton — Culcheth (3 mi), Golborne (1.5 mi), Leigh corridor — that usually decides which product lands on a 1930s semi or 1970s detached quote.
How quickly can you survey a property in Lowton?
Survey slots into WA3 1 and WA3 2 usually open within within a week. Fit is scheduled to your date, not ours.
Why does "one team across a mixed portfolio" matter for landlords in Lowton?

Which style survives tenants best?
Cordless spring-assist roller blinds in a mid-tone fabric are hard to beat for churn — the mechanism is sealed, the fabric wipes clean, and there's nothing for a child to pull down.
Can you survey during a void so we can re-let quickly?
Yes — we prioritise void-period surveys over new-build enquiries because the clock is ticking on your rent. Most voids in our area are quoted within 48 hours and fitted inside two weeks.
