The brief we hear from renovators in Altrincham

The build is running. You need window dressing quoted from a plan, ordered against a fitting date, and installed the week the scaffold comes down — not six weeks after everyone's moved in and the kitchen is trip-hazarded by delivery boxes.

Homeowners mid-extension, buyers refurbishing before moving in, and self-builders scheduling trades against a completion date.

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

Our process — adjusted for renovators

The renovation workflow is different — we quote off drawings, confirm off the built opening (final measure once plaster is dry), and schedule the fit to hit the week after final decoration. No template drift, no fitting into wet paint, no rework.

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

What we usually specify for a Altrincham renovators project

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

  • Full-height plantation shutters — fitted after final decoration, no scuff risk
  • Motorised roller blinds for high-level kitchen glazing and lantern rooflights
  • Perfect Fit blackout for new bedrooms — clips into the beading, zero paint damage
  • Waterproof ABS shutters for new bathrooms and wetrooms

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

What it usually costs

Typical spend £2,800–£6,800 for a rear-extension full package (shutters + kitchen blinds + rooflight motorised). Multi-window projects are quoted per opening so line items can be moved between budget cycles.

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".

Renovators priorities, ordered

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

  1. Quote from architect's drawings before glazing is installed
  2. Manufacture ready to fit the week after final plaster paint
  3. Co-ordinate with the electrician for any motorised or wired systems
  4. Final measure once plaster is dry — not before, to avoid template shrinkage
  5. Single accountable trade for every window on the extension

Where we've earned this pitch

We work with local builders across the WA and CW postcodes and understand build-programme logic — our quote is dated to your practical completion, not our next available slot.

Ordering shutters against a completion date (not after moving in) knocks weeks off the "finished house" experience — the day the scaffold comes down, the windows are already dressed.
