Coverage from our A556 / A559 workshop

Town-centre and Hartford coverage — shutters across the CW8/CW9 patch. Practical route via M6 J19 — 12 min; 25 min from stockton heath.

We group landlords surveys around Northwich with the nearby villages — Weaverham, Cuddington, Davenham — so a whole run of properties can be done on one visit day.

What actually matters — in the order it matters

Every landlords survey we run in Northwich 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 Northwich 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.

The brief we hear from landlords in Northwich

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 Northwich (CW8/CW9) that translates into Victorian terrace and Hartford Edwardian, mostly along the A556 / A559 corridor.

What's different about a landlords job

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.

Northwich survey days are grouped so travel stays tight — the workshop is 25 min from stockton heath, on the M6 J19 — 12 min corridor.

Why us for this brief

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 Victorian terrace openings

We start with the opening, not a stock package. In Northwich, that means accounting for Victorian terrace, Hartford Edwardian, 1980s estate detached and selecting frames, panel widths and materials around those constraints.

Common Questions

Frequently asked

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.

Can I see recent work from around Northwich?

Yes — recent landlords installs across Hartford, Davenham and Weaverham can be shared on the survey visit. Nothing published without the customer's written OK.

Would you specify blackout roller in tenant-neutral colours (stone on a Victorian terrace in Northwich?

Regularly — Blackout roller in tenant-neutral colours (stone, slate, mushroom). On Northwich properties (Cheshire West & Chester, CW8/CW9, Northwich Station) the final call comes down to reveal depth, light aspect and opening size, decided at the survey.

How far is Northwich from your workshop?

25 min from Stockton Heath. We usually bundle Northwich with Hartford and Davenham so travel stays tight and slots open up faster.

What's the typical spend for an landlords job in Northwich?

Whole-house Northwich projects usually land in the £2,000 – £5,500 band. 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.

Can you invoice the letting agent or my limited company?

Yes — we invoice whichever entity you tell us to, with your property reference on every line, and can email the paperwork straight to your bookkeeper.
