Working in Manchester

Manchester is our largest northern market — Manchester Airport flight paths affect properties across south Manchester (M22, M23, M33, SK8) where our acoustic glazing dominates. Plus extensive commercial work across the city centre, Northern Quarter shopfronts, and apartment-block glazing upgrades.

For heritage and listed-property work in Manchester, planning constraints frequently dictate the spec — we work within Greater Manchester council's conservation area rules and listed-building consent requirements, using putty-glazed timber sashes, slim-sightline secondary glazing systems that sit invisibly behind original primary glazing, and steel-window restoration for Crittall-style frames. Most commonly we're working across M22, M23, M33 and SK8 postcodes. We prepare the heritage statement and Building Regulations submission alongside our quote where it's needed for North West conservation areas.

FAQs

Common questions

Yes — any alteration to a Listed Building (Grade I, II*, or II) requires Listed Building Consent. Replacing windows without consent is a criminal offence under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
Sometimes — slim-profile double glazing (under 12mm overall sealed unit) is now accepted by many conservation officers on Grade II listed buildings. Grade I and II* listings usually require single glazing or specialist crown/cylinder glass. We confirm scope at pre-application stage.
Typical determination period: 8 weeks. Complex applications or those requiring Historic England referral: 12-16 weeks.
