CR Smith Manufacturing has signed an £8m contract with social landlord Link Group’s commercial partner Curb, to supply replacement windows over the next four years.

Curb launched in April 2022, to provide property development, maintenance and management service to Link and a range of external partners

Through Curb Property Maintenance, Link – which manages 12,000 homes across Scotland – is pushing forward with a substantial refurbishment programme and the rollout of new windows from CR Smith is already underway at two of its Edinburgh developments.

The windows will be manufactured at CR Smith’s facility in Fife. The company’s manufacturing plant is reported to be up 50% on pre-pandemic levels with public sector work representing 35% of the total, up from 20% of 2019 volumes.

Colin Eadie, director of CR Smith Manufacturing, said: “CR Smith is widely known for the quality of its products in the domestic market, and it is our understanding of homeowners’ priorities and expertise for working in people’s homes that is driving increased interest from local authorities and housing associations.

“Our high standards, the rigour with which we test our products and our accreditations complement the expectations of this market which demands the best for its tenants.

“What is equally important is to deal with a company that can be relied upon,” he concluded. “CR Smith, as a replacement windows company, has been in business for nearly 50 years and the company is well established in Scotland’s business community.”
