Anglian were delighted to be awarded the fenestration contract for Carmarthenshire County Council to supply and install PVCu windows and doors.
Anglian’s refurbishment works form part of a £26.4million programme to raise the council’s 9,300 housing stock to the Carmarthenshire Housing Standard by 2014-15.
Every home is to be equipped with modern kitchens and bathrooms and
will have double-glazed windows and doors replaced to create fuel efficient, and well ventilated homes.
Three teams actively work across the county to ensure that works are completed within a day. In the first year of the contract, Anglian have installed new windows and doors to over 420 homes and a further 248 homes received Anglian windows on a supply-only basis. The installation works on
these properties were undertaken by the council’s own direct workforce who collect the product from our site compounds at the start of each day.
Dedicated Anglian Contracts Manager Ken Aston ensures his team of Supervisors, Surveyors and Installers work together to provide a high-quality service for both client and the resident.
99% of residents surveyed were satisfied with the quality of workmanship they received.
Recycling
The majority of the windows being replaced are first generation single glazed PVCu windows, Anglian have teamed up a local recycling specialist based in Neath to segregate and recycle PVCu, metals and glass greatly reducing waste sent to landfill.

Apprenticeships
Joining forces with C.C.T.A.L, the Carmarthenshire Construction Training Association Ltd, Anglian are providing site based work experience placements for carpentry apprentice students from Carmarthenshire College as part of a shared apprenticeship scheme.
The apprentices work alongside experienced installers for a period of four weeks, gaining a range of fenestration installation and customer care skills.
The Shared Apprenticeship scheme was launched in 2008 by Construction skills for Wales in collaboration with Carmarthenshire Construction Training Association, Carmarthenshire College, Carmarthenshire County Council and the Welsh Assembly Government.
The purpose was to address the construction industry’s skills shortfall and offer apprentices the opportunity to gain a wider range of experience and skills from a range of different companies. This scheme is in addition to Anglian’s national commitment to employ apprentices on all long-term framework contracts.
