What defines a New Build in Stockton Heath

New-build homes were built 2010–present. In Stockton Heath they cluster around Edwardian villa and 1930s splay-bay semi. 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

What actually gets templated on survey day

  • 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.

Our default new build specification

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 Stockton Heath (WA4 2).

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 Stockton Heath (WA4 2).

Can you shutter my bi-fold doors?

Yes — tracked panels run on a top and bottom rail and stack to one side when the doors open. Panel count matches the door leaf count so nothing catches. We've fitted this exact spec on new-build homes across Stockton Heath (WA4 2).

Do you cover new-build homes in Stockton Heath?

Yes — WA4 2, WA4 6 are on our regular survey run. New-build homes are one of the most common briefs across Stockton Heath.
