Curtain walling in Blyth
If your Blyth unit has a double-height entrance, curtain walling can carry the glass up past the normal shop opening.
We start from your Blyth building drawings where you have them, then measure the structure to confirm the fixing points. Developers and landlords in Northumberland can get one priced package for a Blyth building, covering glazing, doors and spandrel panels together.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 179 miles away, and send fitting teams across the North East. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Jobs in NE23, NE24 are planned alongside Ashington and Cramlington.

What does it cost in Blyth?
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.
Working at height needs planning, so access, scaffold and road space outside your Blyth building are covered in our quote for any job in Northumberland. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so a Blyth shop can keep trading through the work.
Common questions
Do you work in NE23, NE24?
Yes. Blyth and the NE23, NE24 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.
How is curtain walling kept watertight?
By drainage and pressure equalisation, not by sealant alone. Gaskets keep most water out, and any that gets past them drains through the frame and weeps back outside. Joints to the surrounding structure are sealed with membranes, and larger jobs are usually tested on site.
What is the difference between curtain walling and a shopfront?
Curtain walling spans floors and hangs off the building structure, while a shopfront sits inside an opening, usually at ground level. Curtain walling has to carry higher wind and weather loads, so the sections are deeper and the design calculations more involved.
Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront in Blyth?
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.
