Fabricator answers TV SOS call
When the BBC television programme ‘DIY SOS – The Big
Build’ came to a small town
in Derbyshire, the windows
and doors were donated
and fitted by local manufacturers, in keeping with the
programme’s ethos of local
communities working together.
In March 2015, the BBC made
an appeal for local companies in
the area to get in touch regarding
a project to build an extension
to a family home. Their severely
disabled second child needed a
specially adapted space; and with
the existing layout of the house
not suitable, the DIY SOS team,
led by Nick Knowles, were drafted
in to help with the major construction project.
Darren Shelbourn, MD at Langley
Mill-based window fabricator
Glazedale, explains why the project appealed to him:
“We regularly watch the show
and jumped at the opportunity
to get involved and help a local
family. This particular project

was especially rewarding, as the
family’s situation was close to my
heart. We could see what a huge
difference the extension would
make to them and wanted to help
however we could.
“Our windows and doors are
manufactured on site using Liniar
PVCu window profile, which is
also designed and produced locally, in Denby, so the supply and fit
really did have a local, community feel. The whole Liniar product range is also highly energy
efficient and easy to fit, making it
ideal for this build.”

The build took place in midApril, with Glazedale’s installation
teams also being involved in the
fitting of all the windows and
doors, a total of six fitters onsite
for five days.
“Running a business, you don’t
usually get the chance to go back
to grass roots level, so I loved
being able to get stuck in and be
part of the team for this fantastic
cause.”
