The double glazing and conservatory specialists


have moved to brand new, purpose-built premises


on the Valley Forge Business Park on Reedyford Road, Nelson.


Now approaching its 20th year in the town, first at Hilldrop and more recently at Leeds Road, a brand new chapter in the success story of the company is opening up with its move to a 10,000 sq.ft unit - around 10 times the size of its previous premises.


At its new home, there is space for manufacturing, offices and probably the largest conservatory and windows showroom under one roof, which is definitely an advantage as far as the potential customer is concerned.


And with more and more people these days seeking to add a conservatory to their home, or wanting to fit double glazing to cut down on heating bills in the current climate where we

are all encouraged to save energy and reduce emissions to curb global warming, it is the best time for Keighley Double Glazing to make the move.


Keighley Double Glazing is now incorporated within Valley Windows and Conservatories and guarantees that the same high-quality service that was on offer to customers past and present will still apply in the future.


At its previous location on Leeds Road, parking was restricted to customers but at the new premises there are 30 spaces available and there is also easy access from the M65 with the business park sited Just off the roundabout at Junction 13.
