Curtain Wall Installation

We install both stick and unitised curtain wall systems, including glazed and panelled assemblies. Our team ensures precise setting out, bracket installation, alignment, and sealing. We follow all fixing and tolerancing requirements to deliver a high-quality external envelope that performs in terms of air-tightness, thermal bridging, and aesthetics.

Unitised Panel Systems

Our installers are experienced in the safe handling and installation of pre-assembled unitised façade panels. These systems require accuracy and coordination due to their pre-fabricated nature — we ensure clean integration with structural slabs and surrounding elements, reducing site time and improving overall quality control.

Windows & Doors

We fit windows and doors within various façade systems, ensuring accurate placement, proper sealing, alignment, and thermal insulation. We work with different frame types including aluminium, UPVC, and composite systems, integrating them seamlessly with surrounding elements.

Cladding Installation

We install a wide range of cladding types, including aluminium composite material (ACM), high-pressure laminate (HPL), terracotta, stone, and rainscreen cladding systems. Our team works from detailed setting-out drawings and ensures secure fixing, ventilation gaps, fire barriers, and weatherproofing are installed exactly as specified.

Steel Framing Systems (SFS)

We assemble and install light-gauge steel framing (SFS) to form internal wall structures that support façade finishes. Our scope includes vertical studs, horizontal rails, head and base tracks, sheathing boards, and fixings. All work is carried out in line with design loadings, tolerances, and fire performance requirements.

Soffits & Balustrades

We install soffits beneath balconies, roof overhangs, and entrances, creating clean lines and durable finishes. We also install balustrade systems (glass, steel, or aluminium) for balconies and terraces, ensuring they are safe, compliant, and visually consistent with the façade.

Silicone Sealing

We carry out all necessary weather and structural silicone sealing during and after façade installation. This includes perimeter sealing of windows, joints in rainscreen panels, and curtain wall gaskets. We ensure clean application, strong adhesion, and long-term durability.

Cleaning & Maintenance

We offer final clean-down services post-installation, including protective film removal, debris clearance, and final detailing. We also provide ongoing façade maintenance, including inspections, minor repairs, and re-sealing, helping clients maintain performance and appearance over time.

Where area are you based in?

F1RST Construction Ltd operates across London and the surrounding areas. We’re available for projects throughout the UK depending on the scale and scope of the work.

How long does a typical project take?

Project timelines vary depending on the size, complexity, and type of façade system being installed. Smaller installations may take just a few weeks, while large-scale commercial projects can span several months. We always work closely with the main contractor and follow the project programme to ensure timely, efficient delivery — without compromising on quality or safety.

Do you offer free quotes?

Yes — we’re happy to provide free, no-obligation quotes. Simply get in touch with your project details, drawings, or scope of work, and we’ll get back to you promptly with a tailored estimate based on your requirements.

Will I need planning permission for my project?

Planning permission depends on the type and scale of work, the building’s location, and whether it’s listed or within a conservation area. In many cases, minor façade updates may fall under permitted development, but full façade replacements, extensions, or changes to appearance often require approval. We always recommend checking with your local planning authority or consulting your architect or main contractor. While we don’t handle planning applications ourselves, we’re happy to work alongside your project team to ensure all installation work aligns with approved plans.

Do you provide a guarantee for your work?

Yes — all our installation work is backed by a workmanship guarantee for your peace of mind. We take pride in the quality and precision of our work, and we stand behind it. The exact length and terms of the guarantee may vary depending on the project scope and client requirements, but we’re always happy to discuss this in detail before starting any job.

How do I get started with a project?

Getting started is simple. Just contact us with some basic information about your project — such as drawings, scope of work, timelines, or specific façade systems involved. We’ll review the details, provide a free quote, and discuss the next steps with you. Whether you're a main contractor, developer, or project manager, we’re ready to collaborate and help you deliver high-quality façade installation, on time and on budget.
