Kenilworth, Warwickshire
Curtain walling in Kenilworth
Taller glazing in Warwickshire has to be designed for its wind exposure, so your Kenilworth site is assessed before the frame sizes are fixed.
If your Kenilworth unit has a double-height entrance, curtain walling can carry the glass up past the normal shop opening. Working at height needs planning, so access, scaffold and road space outside your Kenilworth building are covered in our quote for any job in Warwickshire.
Kenilworth is about 19 miles from our Great Barr base in Birmingham, so surveys are easy to plan. We cover CV8 and the surrounding streets, along with Warwick, Coventry and Leamington Spa.

What does it cost in Kenilworth?
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 Warwickshire can get one priced package for a Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth site clean.
Common questions
Can you come out to Kenilworth for a survey?
Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Kenilworth. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.
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.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront in Kenilworth?
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.
