Leicester: curtain walling
Curtain walling in Leicester start from about £8,500 plus VAT for a standard opening, with a free survey and a written quotation before anything is ordered.
In Leicester and nearby, we start by measuring the actual opening, not a photo which is how the curtain walling end up the right size.
Costs
The entry price is about £8,500 plus VAT. Size, specification and strip-out decide the exact number. The written quotation is valid for 90 days.
How long it takes
Expect 6-10 weeks, project dependent for manufacture. Fitting a standard Leicester unit is normally one to two days on site. Early starts and closed-day fitting are both possible.
The product
Curtain walling hangs a glazed skin off the structural frame rather than sitting inside an opening, which is why it is specified on multi-storey commercial work. Options include thermally broken mullions and transoms; opening vents where ventilation is required.
Where we work around Leicester
Leicester falls within Leicestershire covering LE postcodes, which puts it on the same route as Melton Mowbray, Coalville and Market Harborough.
Local planning
In Leicester, applications go to Leicester City Council. Replacing an existing frontage in the same style seldom needs permission, whereas a new look, an outside shutter box or a lit fascia generally needs an application. The survey confirms which rules apply.
