What that means if you are ordering from Alston
The wettest county in England, with severe upland wind-driven rain. What tends to go first around here: Water ingress at every junction, and accelerated finish degradation on exposed elevations
Order to the structural opening — brick to brick, lintel to cill — measured in three places, using the smallest figure. Do not deduct a fitting tolerance yourself; that happens at our end. The full measuring method.
On a supply-only order you notify building control yourself and pay their fee. There is no FENSA or CERTASS certificate because no registered installer was involved — what that means when you sell the house. Specify the highest weather ratings available; this county tests glazing harder than anywhere in England.
What we deliver to Alston
Delivery to Alston — questions
Can I get a price without giving you my details?
Prices are published on the product pages with an inc and ex VAT switch. For your exact sizes we need to price it, but you can see the range before you speak to anyone.
What if the delivery is damaged?
Check it on the vehicle and note anything on the paperwork before the driver leaves. Damage reported at that point is replaced; damage found a fortnight later is much harder to resolve.
How long does delivery to Alston take?
About a week from order for standard products in standard finishes, then 2–4 working days once made for the run to Alston. Special RAL colours and made-to-measure joinery take longer, and you get a firm date before you pay.
Do you install in Alston?
Installation is available and quoted as a separate line, so you can see exactly what the fitting costs against the product. The product still arrives on the supply-only lead time; the fitting date depends on the diary.
What size do I order to?
The structural opening — brick to brick, lintel to cill. Measure in three places and use the smallest figure. Do not take a fitting tolerance off yourself; that is done at our end.
