Service overview

Who the trade counter is for

The trade counter is a supply-only service based at our Blackwood workshop. It's the right route if you're an installer needing frames or components on a specific job, a builder pricing a window package as part of a wider build, or a confident DIY customer who understands measurement and installation and just needs the product.

Installation is the primary focus of the business, so the counter runs alongside that — call ahead so we can confirm stock, timings and pricing on what you need before you make the drive. That keeps things straightforward for everyone.

You get the same product ranges we specify on installs — VEKA and Profile 22 uPVC, Smart, Aluk and Jack Aluminium systems — plus the sensible advice of a team that fits these products every week.

The cost of leaving it

Why 'phone the supplier direct' isn't always the right move

The trade counter route saves time and mistakes in three specific situations.

Small quantities without minimums

Direct manufacturer accounts often have order minimums that don't suit one-off jobs. We can supply single units at trade-appropriate pricing.

Getting the spec right

Choosing the wrong profile, wrong colour or wrong hardware costs more than the trip. A quick counter conversation with someone who fits these products every week saves that mistake.

Local collection, no logistics

Rather than waiting on a national supplier's next delivery slot, drive to Blackwood, collect what you need, get back on the job.

Our process

Five steps from enquiry to guaranteed install.

  1. STEP 01

    Call ahead

    Ring us with the spec you need — profile, colour, quantity, hardware. We'll confirm stock and pricing.

  2. STEP 02

    Order or reserve

    For items in stock, we'll set them aside for collection. For ordered items, we'll confirm supplier lead time and price.

  3. STEP 03

    Confirm timing

    We'll agree a collection window that suits your job schedule.

  4. STEP 04

    Collect from Blackwood

    Pull up at the workshop, load up, on your way. Advice included if you want it.

  5. STEP 05

    Payment settled

    All standard payment methods accepted, including credit cards. Trade accounts on request.

Benefits

Concrete outcomes — not vague promises.

Ranges we actually install

You're buying the same profiles, systems and hardware our own team specifies on install — proven products, not bin-end stock.

Practical advice on tap

The team behind the counter is a working installer team — genuinely useful guidance on spec, tolerances and hardware.

Small-quantity friendly

Not tied to manufacturer minimums — sensible for one-off or small-batch orders.

Local collection

Blackwood-based — no waiting on national delivery slots when you need to keep the job moving.

Consistent supplier network

Established relationships with VEKA, Profile 22, Smart, Aluk and Jack — supply lines that hold up.

Referral if you'd rather install

If a customer of yours ends up wanting the install too, we can quote them directly — no conflict, just an option.

In detail

What you can supply through the counter

The counter isn't a full builders' merchant — it's a focused supply route for windows, doors and their components.

uPVC systems

VEKA and Profile 22 frames, sashes and ancillaries. Cill options, trims, gaskets and hardware.

Aluminium systems

Smart Systems, Aluk and Jack Aluminium — residential and commercial profile suites. Bi-fold, slider and casement components.

Hardware

Locks, cylinders, hinges, handles, keeps and gaskets — the wearing parts installers need without hunting through catalogues.

Glazing

Sealed glass units to spec — we can quote and order to your survey dimensions.

Trade vs retail

Trade customers get trade-appropriate pricing; retail / DIY collections are welcomed provided you understand measurement and install.

Delivery

Primarily collection from Blackwood, but talk to us about local delivery on larger orders.
