About Us
A proud history of offering quality products and services
The history of Alderley Edge Windows & Doors although a short
one first started out as an idea by its founder Richard Ford many years
ago. The Ford family has been resident in Wilmslow & Alderley for over 300
years and in that
time has seen them operate businesses such as farriers, Coopers, plasterers,
car mechanics and carpenters and joiners. More recently the owner of Alderley
Edge Windows and Doors started his career with Browns of Wilmslow, the renowned
building and civil engineering company. This company had a long and illustrious
existence, building many of Cheshires landmarks including Hoopers & Barclays
Bank in the heart of Wilmslow. It also maintained Manchester Cathedral and
many other famous landmarks throughout the region. Richard was part of the
joiners shop team on Macclesfield Rd, Wilmslow who hand crafted doors, windows
and other bespoke items to supply and fit in the local community and throughout
Cheshire. The skills and levels of excellence in workmanship is something
Rick has taken with him after leaving Browns in 1995 when he joined a local
door and window manufacturing company. Having developed special niche markets
and directing the sales and workforce of this company, he felt that it was
time to show the people of South Cheshire what service and quality in Windows,
Doors and Conservatories was all about. The newly founded company of Alderley
Edge Windows and Doors is a company that aims to serve the community not
just of Alderley Edge but also that of Wilmslow, Prestbury, Macclesfield
and the surrounding areas. Rick says "Too many times I have come across
companies who are just out there to make a fast buck. They do not care about
the customer at all they just want to make money and they don’t care how
they do it. Hard selling company reps pressure sell you products that are
over-hyped and over priced and especially nowadays an inferior product.
Installation is paramount and here at Alderley Edge Windows & Doors; we
have the best installers and time served craftsmen with years of experience
in helping people achieve what they want".
The aim of the new company is to guide our customers to the right choice of product from windows, doors, conservatories, fascias and soffits, even down to just basic repairs on existing products or just failed/ misted units.All projects are personally overseen by Rick who ensures the very best results. Customer service is at the heart of what we do. Most of our teams have been with us since the start and are frequently praised for the work they do. We ensure only the very best tradesmen are employed by us and we are immensely proud of our teams and the fantastic work they do.
We are also proud to offer a complete service. In many cases customers ask for all aspects of the build to be overseen by us including plastering, electrical work, tiling and joinery and not forgetting external decking as well.. To perfectly complement your conservatory, we can landscape the surrounding area outside and create a seamless transition between inside and out.The company operates under the strict guidelines of FENSA the ruling body that covers the installation of windows and doors in the United Kingdom. Alderley Edge Windows are also members of GGFi who insurance back guarantee every installation that is carried out. .
The final word rests with Rick: "Alderley Edge Windows & Doors are a family run company , serving the community with a service. Too many outside companies believe they can do the same but fail miserably because they lose sight of what people want. We aim to do the best job for the best price to the highest standard. Give us a call".
