Facades Surrey

Render in Surrey carries a different expectation to many other markets. Whether applied to a high-end private residential development in the Mole Valley, a contemporary apartment scheme in Guildford town centre or a commercial building in the Woking Enterprise Zone, the finish quality is non-negotiable, and the specification must support it.

As approved applicators for systems from Alsecco, Envirowall, Sto and Weber, OCL provide the full range of modern render solutions, from through-coloured monocouche to silicone and acrylic systems, each specified for the specific substrate, exposure and aesthetic context of the project. In conservation areas and character-sensitive locations, we work closely with design teams and planning consultants to ensure system selection meets the requirements of the local authority without compromising performance or longevity.

OCL are approved installers for curtain walling systems from Aluprof, Metal Technologies, Reynaers, SAPA and Schueco.

Curtain walling in Surrey is largely driven by commercial development and the higher-specification residential sector, schemes where natural light penetration, energy performance and architectural expression are primary design objectives.

OCL are approved installers for systems from Aluprof, Metal Technologies, Reynaers, SAPA and Schueco. We offer the full range of glazed facade configurations, capped, silicone-glazed, structural bolted, free-span and fire-rated, and manage the complete process from design coordination through to installation and sign-off. In Surrey’s demanding planning environment, this end-to-end management is particularly valuable, ensuring that the installed system reflects the approved design intent precisely, without costly variations or programme delays.

Aluminium Windows
For Surrey’s commercial buildings and contemporary residential developments, OCL install aluminium window systems from Aluprof, Metal Technologies, Reynaers, SAPA and Schueco. Aluminium’s slim sightlines, longevity and design flexibility make it a natural fit for the high-specification schemes that characterise new development across the county – delivering clean, considered aesthetics that complement Surrey’s architectural quality expectations.

Aluminium Timber Composite Windows
Surrey’s conservation areas, AONB settings and high-value private residential market frequently call for a different solution. Aluminium timber composite windows from Ideal Combi, Lieb, NorDan, Internorm, Uniform Architectural and Velfac offer the warmth, texture and visual character of timber externally, with the durability and low maintenance of aluminium, achieving U-values as low as 0.7 W/m²K. These systems are particularly well suited to schemes where planning requires a material response sympathetic to the surrounding built and natural environment.

In Surrey’s high-value residential and commercial market, the quality of secondary facade elements, balconies, balustrades, brise soleil, louvres and mesh facades, is held to the same standard as the primary envelope. These are not afterthoughts; they are visible, structural and in many cases central to the planning approval.

OCL design, fabricate and install bespoke architectural metalwork as an integrated part of our facade delivery, not as a bolt-on. Working from the same design package as the wider envelope, we ensure these elements are coordinated, compliant and finished to the standard Surrey’s design-conscious clients and planners expect.
