Carpentry By Shi Ltd

Not much, but not none. Wipe the frames a few times a year, lubricate hinges and locks annually, and keep the drainage channels along the bottom of the frame clear so water can't pool and find its way inside. There is no statutory annual service like a boiler needs.

Not here. This is a register-based directory, not a review site. Look at independent review platforms, ask the installer for recent local references, and confirm FENSA or Certass registration before any work starts.

It's proof the window or door installation meets Building Regulations (thermal performance, safety glazing, ventilation) without a separate council building control sign-off. Without one, selling the property can mean paying for retrospective building control inspection or indemnity insurance, so keep the certificate with your house documents.

This directory holds 558 active window and glazing businesses across 60 towns in Cheshire, all from the Companies House register. Stockport accounts for 98, among the county's busiest. About 33% of Cheshire's registered window and glazing firms were incorporated in the last three years, so weigh incorporation date and FENSA/Certass registration, not just company age.
