Specialism 01
Aluminium curtain walling
Glazed façades for commercial buildings, fabricated in our Leeds factory using Kestrel and Novastruct systems and installed by our own teams, mostly for main contractors within about 100 miles of Leeds.
Who we work with
For main contractors
Main contractors give us most of our work, and most of it is within about 100 miles of our Leeds factory. For a main contractor, the glazing package is one of many. What matters is a clear price against a defined scope, a realistic view of lead-in and programme, and a team that turns up and installs what was agreed.
Our two specialisms
Specialism 02
Drive-thru and service windows
New drive-thru booths and service windows, and their maintenance, for restaurants across the UK. Over 35 years working with McDonald's, including new sites countrywide.
What usually matters
A price you can compare
An estimate is only comparable if the scope is clear. We price from the drawings and specification provided and state the assumptions we have made, so gaps can be resolved before order rather than on site.
Package boundaries and interfaces
Glazing meets brickwork, cladding, roofing, steelwork, floor finishes and access control. Agreeing early who provides fixings, cavity closers, flashings, sealant lines and making good avoids disputes later.
Fabrication lead-in and site programme
Frames are made in our Leeds factory before they go to site. The time needed depends on the project, the system and approvals, so it is agreed for each job rather than quoted as a standard figure.
One business from factory to site
Our fabricators and fixing teams are directly employed. When site dimensions or instructions change, the people installing the work can talk directly to the people who made it.

Common questions
Will you price from tender drawings?
Yes. Send the drawings and specification you have. If something is missing for a firm price we will say what, rather than guessing.
Who installs the work?
Installation is carried out by HB Aluminium's own directly employed fixing teams.
