A West Midlands double glazing and installation company that specialises in housing association projects has said it ‘couldn’t ask for more’ from its partnership with Shelforce.

Lutley Windows has been working with Shelforce since last year and has described the Birmingham window and door manufacturer as ‘top notch.’

Shelforce specialises in providing high-quality PVC-U and aluminium products to local authority building projects and employs some of the city’s most vulnerable people with 75% of its workforce disabled.

Lutley Windows works with Midland Heart, Black Country Housing Group and Birmingham Civic Housing Association and, while the company also takes on domestic work, housing association work has tripled – meaning the partnership with Shelforce will be crucial moving forward.

Mark Taylor, Lutley Windows MD, said: “Anything we do we go to Shelforce first. They really are top notch, and we feel comfortable with them; pretty much everything they do is to the highest spec and when they say they are going to do something they do it. That’s rare and while it’s a difficult time for everybody currently, Shelforce still delivers.

“If there are any issues they get them sorted straight away. And, of course, with their experience in social housing and local authority projects, they really know their stuff.”

With around 20 people working at Lutley Windows, the company is looking to continue expanding next year.

Shelforce’s business manager, Howard Trotter, commented: “We have developed a hugely valued partnership with Lutley Windows in a short space of time which I feel is testament to both companies.

“It’s great to align ourselves with Midland Heart, Black Country Housing and Birmingham Civic Housing Association, who all do a great job looking after our communities.

“We understand the challenges Housing Associations and Local Authorities face and what is important for both them and their tenants; they are under pressure to complete maintenance and refurbishment programmes on time and within budget and our flexibility and quick lead times are why we are such an attractive proposition.”
