From Neighbours to Partners: Building Quality Homes Together

Description

For almost 30 years the people behind SB Homes have been shaping Huddersfield communities with over 500 homes that stand out for their character, quality and thoughtful architecture. Each development is designed to sit comfortably within its surroundings while offering the modern comforts and craftsmanship that today’s buyers expect.

Lingards Fold, SB Homes’ latest development in Slaithwaite, is a prime example of this approach. The 42-home site features a carefully considered mix of properties, from two-bedroom apartments through to spacious five-bedroom detached homes. This diversity has allowed SB Homes to appeal to a wide audience, including first-time buyers, growing families and downsizers, while maintaining a consistent design-led feel throughout the development. No two homes are the same, reinforcing the individuality that has become a hallmark of SB Homes projects.

Construction began in 2024, with the first excited residents moving in during June 2025. The development is progressing steadily and is scheduled for completion in 2027. The development has already attracted plenty of interest thanks to its appealing hillside location, build quality, and the signature SB Homes attention to detail.

The relationship between SB Homes and Quickslide began at a trade show, where conversations quickly turned into something more meaningful after discovering their shared Yorkshire roots. A visit to the Quickslide factory followed, allowing the SB Homes team to see first-hand how products are manufactured and quality is controlled in-house.

For Lingards Fold, SB Homes specified flush casement windows, sliding doors and bifold doors, all finished in a contemporary agate grey to complement the architectural style of the homes.

SB Homes first met the Quickslide team at a trade show and, after realising they were a local supplier, arranged to tour the Quickslide factory not long after. Flush casement windows, sliding doors, and bifolds were the favoured choice for the Lingards Fold development, all in a stunning agate grey finish.

Amy Byram, Sales Director at SB Homes explained, “We really like the flush casement window. Aesthetically, they look much sleeker than stormproof windows, and our customers love them.”

Fiona Wright, Quickslide’s Project Manager, added: “Every visit to Lingards Fold leaves me impressed by the quality and care SB Homes puts into every property. It’s a privilege to be a chosen supply partner, and Quickslide’s products feel like a natural extension of their design vision.”

With installations now well underway, the benefits of a strong, collaborative supply partnership are clear. Products have arrived on time, performed as expected on site, and supported a smooth installation process – helping the build programme stay on track.

Quickslide’s expert in-house manufacturing capability has given SB Homes confidence in both consistency and lead times, while competitive pricing has supported the commercial requirements of the development without compromising on finish or performance. Combined with responsive, knowledgeable support from Fiona and the wider Quickslide team throughout quoting, ordering and delivery, the experience has been seamless from start to finish.

As Lingards Fold progresses, this project marks the beginning of a long-standing, mutually beneficial partnership. SB Homes can continue delivering standout homes across West Yorkshire, confident that their developments are supported by locally made, high-performing windows and doors, and by a reliable supply partner built for long-term collaboration.
