Paint Analysis and Matching across Greater Manchester
The Paint Analysis and Matching we make for Greater Manchester is set out from a survey, not a size chart. The building stock is mill-era terraces, interwar semis and large commercial and retail frontages, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. What accelerates it is persistently high rainfall with limited drying windows, and coating failure and rot on north-facing elevations that rarely dry out follows sooner than owners expect. In practice that means matching the historic colour rather than defaulting to brilliant white.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Give us the basics and you will have a written figure, not a range that moves later.
A detail specific to this area: high commercial density supports substantial shopfitting and contract joinery demand.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Greater Manchester?
Yes. We cover the whole of Greater Manchester including Manchester, Bolton, Stockport, Oldham and the surrounding villages. High commercial density supports substantial shopfitting and contract joinery demand. Because persistently high rainfall with limited drying windows, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
Do you take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
