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 tender and bid teams
We price aluminium glazing packages for main contractors, developers and operators, with curtain walling and drive-thru windows as our lead specialisms. Send the tender package and we will come back with a clear price against a defined scope, our assumptions and any questions that affect the price.
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
How to invite us to tender
Email the tender documents, or a link to them, to admin@hb-aluminium.co.uk with the return date, or use the form on this page. Estimating is handled in-house, and enquiries are managed by our estimator until they become an order.
What we return with a price
A priced breakdown against the scope shown on the drawings, the assumptions we have made, any exclusions, and questions where the information would change the price. Our estimating is free and computer-aided.
Where we are strongest
Curtain walling and glazed façades on commercial buildings, and drive-thru booths and service windows, where we have worked with McDonald's for over 35 years. Most of our contractor work is within about 100 miles of Leeds; drive-thru work is countrywide.
Pre-qualification questions
Bid teams often need company, health and safety and insurance information before a subcontractor can be appointed. The facts we can confirm are listed on this page. Anything else is supplied on request for each tender rather than published as a general figure.

Common questions
Will you price from a tender package without a site visit?
Yes. We price from the drawings and specification provided and state our assumptions. A survey can follow where the work depends on existing conditions.
Can you complete our pre-qualification questionnaire?
Yes. Send it with the tender and we will return it with the information requested.
Do you tender for work outside Yorkshire?
Yes. Most of our contractor work is within about 100 miles of Leeds, and we install and maintain drive-thru windows countrywide.
