Specification and Scope
St Helens Chamber requires a Contractor to undertake Window Replacement at the following address:
St Helens Chamber Digital Hub (formerly Starting Point), 4 – 6 Hardshaw Street, St Helens WA10 1RE
The current windows are a mixture of aluminium, and timber construction. The proposed replacement windows are intended to replicate the overall frame arrangement of the current windows. PLEASE NOTE, we are also seeking quotes for both wooden and aluminium replacement windows to the ground and second floors, and wooden sliding sash windows only to the first floor.
The building is in a Conservation Area, and the Windows that require replacement must be in line with the obtained planning permission to match existing and must be in accordance with St Helens Council Conservation Officer’s guidelines.
The main reason for the replacement of the windows is to increase the Energy Efficiency of the building. Therefore we will expect all windows to comply with current thermal performance Standards.
Ground floor – consists of 5 on the ground floor of varying sizes. (note: we are requesting quotations for both wooden and aluminium replacements for the ground floor)
First floor – consists of 9 painted timber sliding sash windows varying sizes. (note: we only require quotations for timber sliding sash windows for the first floor)

The Chamber will be appointing a CDM and Principle Contractor. The successful contractor/s will be expected to work with them.
Prices must be broken down per floor, and additionally between wooden and aluminium windows for the ground and second floors.
