Glass Balustrades & Balcony Installers in Rochdale and the North West
How Industry-Scale Experience Shapes Every AS Balustrades Project
Before forming AS Balustrades, Scott and Jamie developed their technical capability within large, multi-contractor construction environments, including extended programmes on high-profile infrastructure projects. One of the most formative experiences during this period was contributing to a year-long programme of works at Terminal 2, Manchester Airport.
Working within a live airport terminal environment places exceptional demands on specialist installers. Programmes are tightly sequenced, works are often delivered around live operations, and every activity is governed by rigorous safety, access control, and quality assurance procedures. Installations must be coordinated with multiple trades, airport authorities, and principal contractors, often within constrained time windows and controlled working zones.
This environment develops skills that directly translate into higher-quality outcomes on today’s residential and commercial projects, including:
Advanced understanding of complex interfaces between architectural metalwork, glazing systems, and surrounding structures
Strict adherence to method statements, permits to work, and quality inspection regimes
Precision installation under time and access constraints
Consistent delivery across long programme durations, maintaining quality from first fix to final handover
A disciplined approach to site management, housekeeping, and stakeholder coordination
While AS Balustrades was not the contracting entity on the Terminal 2 programme, the experience gained during this period now informs how every project is planned and delivered—bringing infrastructure-level standards into modern residential and commercial environments across Rochdale and the North West.
