Overview
Why building services?
Most glazing projects need some building work: a wider opening for bifolds, a new steel beam, a lowered sill, or plastering afterwards. We do this with our own in-house building team, so there's no gap between trades.
It's why we can give a fixed survey-to-install timeline on glazing and one named project manager for the whole job.
Structural openings
Forming and widening openings for doors and windows.
Steels and lintels
Installed to the structural engineer's design.
Making good
Plaster, render and brickwork finished afterwards.
No subcontracting on glazing
Our own fitters and builders on site.
One programme
Building and glazing scheduled together.

Good to know
Planning, regulations and timings
Structural design and approval
Structural openings need calculations from a structural engineer and Building Regulations approval. We coordinate both as part of the job.
Party Wall Act
Work on or near a shared wall may need party wall notices to your neighbours. We'll tell you if it applies.
Questions
Building services: your questions answered
Do you do the building work for new bifold openings?
Yes. Our in-house building team forms the opening, fits the steel and makes good, then our fitters install the doors.
Who handles building control?
Structural openings need an engineer's calculations and Building Regulations approval; we coordinate both as part of the project.
Do you subcontract?
Not on glazing. Our own fitters and building team do the work, managed by one named project manager.
How much does a structural opening cost?
It depends on the width, the wall and the steel needed, so it's priced with your glazing after the survey.
