The brief we hear from renovators in Handforth
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 Handforth (SK9 3) that translates into 1930s semi and 1980s estate detached, mostly along the A34 / Wilmslow 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.
Handforth survey days are grouped so travel stays tight — the workshop is 28 min from stockton heath, on the M56 J6 — 5 min corridor.
Renovators priorities, ordered
Every renovators survey we run in Handforth lands on the same short list:
- Quote from architect's drawings before glazing is installed
- Manufacture ready to fit the week after final plaster paint
- Co-ordinate with the electrician for any motorised or wired systems
- Final measure once plaster is dry — not before, to avoid template shrinkage
- Single accountable trade for every window on the extension
The default spec — before we've even seen the house
Across Handforth 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 Handforth projects in this bracket usually sit within the £2,000 – £5,500 band. Every figure on our quote is fixed and 90-day valid — no follow-up phone call to "re-cost".
Property-fit proof
A specification shaped by 1930s semi openings
We start with the opening, not a stock package. In Handforth, that means accounting for 1930s semi, 1980s estate detached, modern new build and selecting frames, panel widths and materials around those constraints.
