Architectural cues we survey for on a new-build home
New-build homes were built 2010–present. In Lymm they cluster around sandstone cottage and listed dam-side home. On survey we look for:
- square uPVC casement openings, all to standard sizes
- shallow plaster reveals (60–75mm)
- bi-fold or French doors to the rear garden
- en-suite and utility rooms with small high-level windows
The window list for a Lymm new build
- standard uPVC casement pairs on the front
- large picture window to the lounge
- bi-fold doors 3–5 panels wide
- small en-suite obscure-glazed casement
Full-height single-tier panels; tracked panels on bi-folds is our starting point — adjusted for ceiling height, sash split and existing joinery on the day.
What we usually recommend for a Lymm new-build home
Style: full-height single-tier panels; tracked panels on bi-folds.
Material: MDF or engineered hardwood — dimensional stability in dry, well-heated interiors.
Louvres: 76mm louvres as the default; 89mm on the lounge picture window for cleaner sightlines.
Typical investment: £1,800–£3,200 for a whole-ground-floor package. Every figure fixed and 90-day valid.

Common Questions
Frequently asked
Is hardwood overkill in a new build?
Often yes — MDF or engineered hardwood is more dimensionally stable in dry, well-heated new-build interiors and costs less. We recommend it on any new-build package unless a bathroom is included. We've fitted this exact spec on new-build homes across Lymm (WA13).
My reveals are really shallow — will shutters still fit?
Yes — with a Z-frame extension or face-fix mount the shutter sits proud of the reveal without fouling the handle. We survey reveal depth before quoting. We've fitted this exact spec on new-build homes across Lymm (WA13).
Will the trickle vents still work?
Yes — the frame is set below the trickle vent line and louvres open to allow airflow. We specify a lower frame head where necessary so ventilation is unaffected. We've fitted this exact spec on new-build homes across Lymm (WA13).
