All Saints Primary School, Gorton, Manchester

“We chose Droylsden Glass because they showed that they really cared and understood exactly what we were looking for.” – Mrs Sylvia Barrow, Head Teacher

For some time All Saints had been planning to swap their old, draughty wooden windows with smart new energy efficient windows, but they were determined that the replacements would not only bring lots of benefits for the school, but would not detract from the original appearance and character of the building.

Naturally they approached a number of companies for proposals and quotations, and they chose Droylsden Glass, not because they were the cheapest, but because the school felt that they offered the best value for money and also because of the helpful advice they provided, the care and interest they displayed and the reassurance they offered.

One of the issues was that the school wanted to retain the high level opening style of the original windows, but because of their height opening them had always posed a difficulty. Droylsden Glass overcame this problem by recommending a manual remote operating system so that the new windows could be easily opened from ground level.

All the windows were successfully replaced during the school’s summer shut down period and on their return the pupils and staff alike were all delighted with their smart, white, energy efficient PVCu frames and the low emission glazing units that ensured the school now had brighter, warmer and far more comfortable classrooms.

So impressed, the school came back for more
All Saints was so impressed with the quality of the windows and the standard of the service they received that when they were considering how to improve and better utilise an enclosed outside space at the school, they once again contacted Droylsden Glass. The recommendation was to design and install a conservatory type structure, complete with heating that could be used for a variety of purposes, including school meetings, group work and even the after-school gardening club.

Despite a very tight timeframe in which to complete the project over the February half term break; Droylsden Glass completed everything within an incredible three days.
