With 25 years of industry presence, The Northern Test House is a family-run business with deep roots in both fabrication and compliance testing for the glass and window sector. Operating from two production sites in Leigh, Lancashire, and headquartered in Perth, Scotland, our company has thrived through reputation and industry demand—without the need for a dedicated sales force. But the industry is evolving, and so are we.

To meet growing regulatory momentum and tap into new business, we are now actively seeking professional sales agents to promote our specialist testing services and related products.

 

Compliance-Driven Testing & Georgian Grills for the Window Industry

Our core service is regulatory testing to BS EN1279 and BS EN14351 standards, which are legal requirements for manufacturers of double-glazed units and windows to affix the UKCA mark. Despite low enforcement, the standards are mandatory—positioning our services as essential for any compliant manufacturer. We work closely with notified bodies such as BSI to coordinate initial and ongoing testing, and offer clients a free Factory Production Control (FPC) Manual upon booking.

Additionally, we fabricate decorative Georgian grills at our Leigh factory, offering a secondary product line with repeat sales potential.

Target market

Your focus will be on businesses manufacturing windows, doors, and double-glazed units—companies that must adhere to BS EN standards to remain legally compliant. This service is not optional for them; it’s a matter of when, not if.

Once an account is secured, it becomes a recurring revenue stream with minimal ongoing effort. If you’re already familiar with the customer base, you’re halfway there.
