New build, extension and self build projects
New build, extension and self build projects around Risca: what changes
For projects still on paper, this page explains what we need from the drawings, what lead times look like, and how glazing is coordinated with the rest of the programme.
What matters most on this kind of job
- Structural opening sizes agreed and issued to the builder in writing
- Thermal performance figures for the SAP or Part L calculation
- The keys are handed to the client only after the lock has been thrown four times in and out from both sides.
- The dustsheet inside the room is a heavy canvas taped to the skirting, not a light plastic left loose.
Extension and garden room glazing completed to the builder's programme, with sizes issued before brickwork started

What we typically find on aluminium windows surveys around here
- ·The internal locking cams on the multipoint have been ground down by a mismatched keep pattern.
- ·The letterplate is a straight through-plate with no anti-snap flap — visible from outside in the hallway.
- ·The bottom rail on the sash has taken years of rain runoff and swollen enough to bind on the frame.
- ·The kitchen window has a defrost line across the low-e coating — argon gas long gone.
- ·The internal beads pop out with a chisel and a tap, but the external glazing gasket is bonded solidly to the frame.
- ·The frame drainage slots at the bottom are clogged with debris, so rainwater sits inside the chamber.
- ·The multipoint keeps have worn a shallow groove where the hooks now catch — closing needs a lift-and-pull.
- ·A previous fitter left the transport wedges in the frame corners and the internal seal never fully reset.
- ·One sash locks by lifting a nail out of the frame — a bodge from a decade ago that everyone forgot about.
- ·There is a live crack running from the top corner of a bay-window pane where the frame has been out of square since installation.
- ·The top hinge on the front door has torn its middle screw out and been left to run on two fixings.
- ·The friction hinge on one window sticks at 45° open and needs the palm of a hand to nudge past.
- ·The stay arm on the top vent has bent and no longer sits into its rest bracket cleanly.
- ·Original door furniture is 90s brass, tarnished, and no longer matches anything else on the elevation.
- ·The front-door hinge screws are 25mm chipboard fixings, not the manufacturer's 60mm hinge screws.
- ·Original security bolts on the ground floor sashes are seized in place and no longer key-lockable.
Why residents are booking aluminium windows right now
- ·The buyer wants no upsell scripts — a survey, a spec, a figure, and space to think.
- ·The buyer is buying the property specifically for the garden and wants a bi-fold that opens the whole rear elevation.
- ·The buyer wants the frames branded with the manufacturer's paperwork stapled to the frame chamber for the next owner.
- ·The current front door leaks visibly around the letterplate every time the wind swings east.
- ·The owner is preparing the property for a rental switch and wants glazing to hit HMO fire-escape spec.
- ·The owner has scaffolding booked for a re-render and wants the frames sequenced around the render trades.
- ·The resident cycles to work and wants a bike-in-porch design that a survey needs to plan around.
- ·The resident wants the sliding door to open with a fingertip after ten years of use, not two hands after two.
- ·The homeowner wants the front porch to feel enclosed in winter and open in summer.
- ·The homeowner is planning a garden studio and wants the patio doors to bookend the view when it's finished.
- ·The homeowner is selling within eighteen months and wants the front elevation to photograph well for the listing.
- ·The buyer wants a composite front door that reads more house-proud than the run of identical rentals on the road.
- ·The buyer is furnishing the property for short-term let and wants a five-year cosmetic warranty on the door slab.
- ·The owner wants the property to look ten years newer without needing an extension.
- ·The resident wants the patio door to slide with one finger — not the two-handed heave the current one takes.
- ·The homeowner wants the composite slab to be paintable without voiding the manufacturer warranty.
How our fitters actually do the work
- ·The bathroom obscure glass pattern is confirmed with a physical sample against the existing pane, not chosen from a brochure image.
- ·The client's paint colour is sampled at the survey visit and matched at the office before the fitters arrive on install day.
- ·The manufacturer's serial-number label on the new frame is peeled off, not left to yellow on the glass for years.
- ·The trim between the frame and the plaster line goes on last, after the sealant has set and been proven leak-tight.
- ·The lead fitter photographs the reveal condition before the old frame comes out and shares those photos with the office.
- ·The reveals are photographed on arrival so any pre-existing damage is on record before the crew touches them.
- ·The site tidy happens twice per day, not once at the end, so brick dust doesn't track through the house.
- ·The friction stay on a new casement is set to the client's preferred restraint at handover — 45°, 90°, or fully open.
- ·The door slab gets a full inspection before hanging — dents, delamination, edge integrity, all noted before fixings go through.
- ·The van carries a set of dust extraction attachments and uses them on any grinder work in occupied rooms.
- ·The frame reinforcing steel is confirmed inside the top rail before the transom fixing is chosen.
- ·The internal beads are numbered on removal so they return to the same corner they came from.
- ·The window boards are pre-treated on the underside with a moisture seal before setting in place.
- ·The frame reinforcement steel is confirmed by knock-test before selecting the fixing pattern.
- ·The perimeter tape between frame and reveal is a compressible foam tape, not a plain butyl strip.
- ·The internal make-good uses caulk to the plaster, silicone to the tiles, and neither where paint has to go over.
FAQs — aluminium windows in Risca
Why replace the whole set rather than one-by-one in a Risca home?+
Because chunky uPVC bars that block daylight in narrow valley terraces, and dated 70s aluminium that cold-bridges and ices up internally rarely stays isolated — once one unit goes, the rest follow within a few years. Doing it once means matching frames across the elevation and one trip for our team into NP11.
Can aluminium windows handle hillside estate exposure at Ty-Sign where wind hits every elevation?+
Directly, yes — 30+ year frame life with a powder coat that doesn't chalk or fade like cheap pvc foil. That matters in Risca where hillside estate exposure at Ty-Sign where wind hits every elevation is the single most common reason people call us.
Do you do commercial aluminium windows for sites near Pontymister Industrial Estate?+
Yes. We've worked across Pontymister Industrial Estate and the Crosskeys business units, supplying the same thermally broken aluminium profile build we use on residential. Commercial quotes include site access notes and out-of-hours options.
How do you reach jobs in Risca from your base?+
A straight run on the A468 then A467, close enough that we handle Risca callbacks within the same week — typically a short run via A467.
What guarantee do I get when you fit aluminium windows in Risca?+
10-year powder-coat guarantee, 2-year fit warranty. We're insured to work right across Caerphilly County Borough Council's area, and you have one named contact from quote to snag.
Do you work from architect's drawings?+
Yes. Send the elevations and we will return structural opening sizes, cill details and the glazing specification in writing so the openings are formed correctly.
Can you supply performance figures for building control?+
Yes. U values, ventilation provision and safety glazing positions are supplied in writing with the quotation for the SAP or Part L submission.

Summary — aluminium windows in Risca
Chunky uPVC bars that block daylight in narrow valley terraces, and dated 70s aluminium that cold-bridges and ices up internally won't fix itself, and putting it off through another winter in Risca just costs more in heating, particularly with hillside estate exposure at Ty-Sign where wind hits every elevation working on the elevation every week. A 20-minute call gets the survey on the diary. On aluminium windows specifically: chunky uPVC bars that block daylight in narrow valley terraces, and dated 70s aluminium that cold-bridges and ices up internally, 1–2 days for a typical rear elevation, longer for full-house, 10-year powder-coat guarantee, 2-year fit warranty.
Faults we fix before recommending aluminium windows
Handles are a cheap wearing part — the trick is matching spindle length, backset and screw centres so it fits first time.
Friction stays are consumable — when they corrode or bend, the sash drops out of square and everything else starts to fail with it.
Asymmetric glass thickness and a good frame seal cut traffic noise; simply adding a third identical pane often doesn't.
Yellowing is cosmetic and treatable; splits at the welded corners are structural and aren't.
