Curtain walling in Alnwick
Taller glazing in Northumberland has to be designed for its wind exposure, so your Alnwick site is assessed before the frame sizes are fixed.
We start from your Alnwick building drawings where you have them, then measure the structure to confirm the fixing points. Working at height needs planning, so access, scaffold and road space outside your Alnwick building are covered in our quote for any job in Northumberland.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 199 miles away, and send fitting teams across the North East. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Jobs in NE65, NE66, NE67 are planned alongside Morpeth and Ashington.

What does it cost in Alnwick?
Curtain walling usually costs £550 to £950 ex VAT per m², supplied and fitted. System type, glass specification, height, grid size and access set the rate. Scaffolding or powered access, structural calculations, fire stopping at floor edges and any removal of existing cladding are usually added on top. We measure from drawings or on site and provide a written quote.
Developers and landlords in Northumberland can get one priced package for an Alnwick building, covering glazing, doors and spandrel panels together. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Alnwick site clean.
Common questions
Do you work in NE65, NE66, NE67?
Yes. Alnwick and the NE65, NE66, NE67 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.
Do I need planning permission for curtain walling?
Usually yes in England, because it materially alters the external appearance of the building. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which run separate systems. We can prepare elevations and details to support an application, but the council makes the decision.
Does curtain walling need building regulations approval?
Yes in most cases, because it affects the external wall, energy and fire performance. In England, the relevant guidance includes Approved Documents L and B. Scotland uses building warrants and the Technical Handbooks, Northern Ireland uses Technical Booklets, and Wales has its own Approved Documents.
Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront in Alnwick?
Usually yes, if the new front changes how the building looks. Like-for-like repairs usually don't. Your local planning authority decides, and we can prepare the drawings. Signs and external shutters have their own rules.
