What we see most around BT42
Ballymena's manufacturing base means we quote as much on sectional and high-speed doors here as on residential. It's why a templated quote for Ballymena usually misses something.
Most of the commercial work we do around Ballymena lands inside Woodside Industrial Estate and Michelin site legacy units. We're on a first-name basis with most of the facilities teams.
On the residential side, Ballymena is dominated by warehouses and industrial units. That tilts our default spec toward warmth and longevity over cheapest-up-front.
