Find businesses to buy / Glazing and specialist trades

Buy a glazing or specialist trade business in the UK

Trade businesses with their own yard or workshop: nineteen years average trading, and every one a freeholder.

How these companies are identified

These companies declare glazing or specialist construction activity to Companies House and own the premises they operate from. No licence is claimed. The owned-premises test does most of the filtering here, because the declared activity alone is a very broad category.

Why buyers look here

The premises requirement removes the very large number of one-person trades that declare the same activity, leaving established operations with a yard. Nineteen years average trading, and nearly half carry charges.

What to check

• The underlying activity code is broad, so read what the company actually does before assuming a trade.
• Five employees on average; subcontract labour is common and invisible in headcount.
• Certification schemes such as FENSA are not held here and should be confirmed directly.
• The yard may carry more value than the trade.

How to search

Choose Glazing and specialist trades on the search screen and narrow by town, how long the business has traded, how ownership is held, and whether the premises are traceable. Searching is free and shows the shape of each company without naming it. A report on one company costs from £4.90.
