"Being part of SBD reinforces the value and security we deliver"

Manchester-based Shepley is one of the largest fabricators of REHAU windows and doors in the UK, supplying to both the domestic and commercial sectors.

Shepley values its long-term relationships with customers above all else. The company understands the importance of being a dependable partner in the fenestration industry and emphasises offering the necessary support to ensure installer success. This dedication extends beyond product delivery, encompassing expert technical advice and comprehensive marketing support. Located in Dukinfield near Manchester, Shepley’s strategic location on the motorway network allows it to efficiently supply customers across the nation.

Shepley’s manufacturing and delivery systems are uniquely designed to maintain quality and reliability.
