History- Northwich Glass celebrates 52 years in business in 2011 and no company has fitted more windows and doors in Mid Cheshire. The main reason for our longevity is our commitment to providing first class service to our customers. They trust us to fulfil many of their home improvement needs and recommend us to their friends and family
Manufacture- Northwich Glass are one of a seldom few local companies that actually manufactures its own PVCu and Aluminium products- most firms buy everything in! We continually invest in machinery to keep us at the cutting edge of window and door manufacture to produce the best product that we can. We are a significant local employer and are proud that we make things. To prove this, we are more than happy for any customer to take a guided tour of our factory where they can see how we make the products before they buy them.
Showroom- We have a large, welcoming showroom, not to mention a bustling trade counter that allows our customers to browse many of our products before they buy. We also have Victorian and Edwardian Conservatories outside which allow customers to fully appreciate the natural light and space created by these airy additions. Our staff are always on hand to offer helpful advice but will not pressurise. Most of our products are fitted into brickwork so customers can really get the feel of what our windows and doors would look like in their house. We also have numerous brochures available for customers to peruse either over a complimentary tea or coffee in the comfort of the showroom or to take away where they can conduct as much research as they want prior to obtaining a quote.
No Hard Sell- As a family run company, Northwich Glass has always prided itself on the service it provides to its customers. A major part of that is ensuring that customers are comfortable dealing with us and this means 'No hard sell'. We are up front with our prices, do not seek to bamboozle and will always give customers all the time they need to make their own decisions. Our long history is testament to this friendly approach.
