As a proud family business, our aim has always been to manufacture the highest quality products possible while offering first-class service to all of our customers. We’ve built our success upon quality without compromise, meaning we constantly strive to improve our service levels, product options, and production processes.
We also understand that our people are as important as our machinery, and that our materials are as important as our craftsmanship, so we strive to be the best in all facets of our company.
From training and quality-assurance procedures to premium CNC machinery, innovative product launches and unrivalled product aftercare for our customers, we aim to keep setting the same standards as the first day we opened.
The growing demand for inside, outside living coupled with flexible outdoor spaces means that aluminium is the perfect material for creating contemporary exterior spaces that can be enjoyed year round.
At Express, we’ve wholeheartedly adopted aluminium as our material choice for the manufacturing and installation of our entire bespoke product range. Aluminium is undoubtedly the most suitable material for luxury outdoor solutions because a pergola is 100% exposed to the elements 100% of the time. The inherent strength of aluminium ensures a lack of movement in reaction to hot and cold weather and because our pergola systems are 100% aluminium and we only use stainless steel screws we can guarantee that our pergolas will not rust or discolour and the structural integrity of our pergolas will not fail.

Our bioclimatic pergolas arrived with a Somfy TaHoma home automation system as standard. This means that you can control your roof louvres, lighting, heating, music and more all from an app on your phone.
This intelligence software is compatible with all home automation software so our electronic pergolas will not only bring you and your family out in the garden, but your smart home also.
Thermally broken aluminium is undoubtedly the most suitable material for today’s luxury homes, which is one of the main reasons we use it to manufacture our specialist product range. We’re constantly engineering slimmer frames, lower U values, and increased strength, which means our bespoke, aluminium products are ideally suited to residential and commercial projects, as well as grand feature projects, such as the completed work displayed in portfolio of completed work.
Aluminium can also be recycled infinitely, which is why it is considered one of the most environmentally friendly construction materials. Along with the green benefits, aluminium is essentially maintenance-free; meaning that keeping that simply cleaning down the profiles with warm soapy water is the only upkeep with our luxury aluminium products.
The inherent strength of our aluminium profiles and the expert engineering behind our products means we can guarantee years of reliability and enjoyment.
Doors and windows are partially protected by the building fabric whereas our pergolas are fully exposed which is why we will only offer the best 100% aluminium products on the market with concealed drainage and concealed fixings. The strength of aluminium is why all commercial buildings in city centres and tall skyscrapers around the world are installed with aluminium products – they have been proven to stand the test of time.
We take great pride in our world-class 200,000-square-foot manufacturing facility. Boasting more than 200 on-site staff, we manufacture all our bespoke products in Leeds, prior to delivering and installing them across Yorkshire.
The manufacturing of our products is born out of a love of British craftsmanship and is beautifully complemented by the best CNC machinery on the market.
Every single order that we receive is processed by our internal software system and sent electronically to our CNC machines. The machines then prep the aluminium profiles for our products, removing all human error and ensuring they’re cut, routered, and end-milled perfectly before being manufactured, checked, and packed by our expert staff.
Our small army of fabricators skilfully manufacture our full product range, assisted at every step by the best possible working environment and machinery. We’ve invested in specialist equipment for our custom-made products which includes handling machinery that means our staff don’t have to touch or lift huge aluminium profiles throughout the all-important manufacturing process or the installation itself.
One of the key advantages aluminium has over other frame materials is that it can be easily powder coated by one of over 200 RAL colours and unique finished that we have on offer. And if that wasn’t enough, we also offer various woodgrain and textured finishes all of which can be combined with our range of accessories and roof louvres.
Our finishes are available in matt and fine textured finishes so the choice of colours and finishes is almost endless.
We can provide colour samples of some of the finishes directly, but we always recommend visiting our showroom to see various finishes displayed throughout our entire range of products.
It’s the optional extras that can bring so much to our pergolas and verandas. Whether you’re looking for privacy, lighting features or frameless sliding doors to shelter from the outside we offer a huge range of accessories to enhance your exterior space. The bespoke nature of our products and services means that our products can be mixed and matched to create a beautiful new structure that is completely unique to you and your home.
