Founded in 1811 and widely considered to be the oldest windows and doors manufacturer in the UK, Allan Brothers has a long history of traditional woodworking and specialist joinery skills passed down the generations through its local workforce.

To receive the prestigious ‘Certificate of Quality and Service’, companies undergo rigorous assessment to prove that they have earned the right to be called ‘master craftsmen’ through the quality of their work, the service they provide and their high standards of customer care.
