A good window is only as good as its fit. That’s why we handle every stage ourselves, with clear communication throughout, so you always know what’s happening and when.
We start by listening. Tell us what you want to change: style, budget, efficiency, noise or security. We’ll talk through your options and give you honest advice, even if that means suggesting something simpler than you expected.
We visit your home to check every opening, and it’s completely free. Accurate measurements are the foundation of a proper installation, so we take our time. We’ll also look at the condition of surrounding brickwork, lintels and sills.
Together we choose your styles, glazing, colours, handles and hardware. You’ll receive a clear written specification and price, with no vague “allowances” that can grow later.
Your windows are made to measure for your openings, using high-quality aluminium profiles and sealed double-glazed units. Lead times vary, but we’ll give you a realistic date up front so you can plan around the work.
Our fitters remove the old windows, prepare the openings, and install your new frames square, level and properly sealed. We protect your floors and furnishings, keep noise and mess down, and clear away all waste at the end of each day.
Before we leave, we test every window, adjust hardware and walk you through how everything works. As a FENSA-registered installer, we handle the paperwork so you receive your certificate. And if anything needs attention later, you have a local team to call.
Replacing windows is one of the most effective upgrades you can make. Better insulation, stronger security, less noise and improved kerb appeal, all in one project.
Whatever you have now, we can replace it. Old uPVC often yellows, warps or loses its seal. Timber can rot or stick. Older aluminium frames without a thermal break can feel cold and suffer condensation. Modern aluminium windows solve these problems with better insulation, slimmer frames and finishes that last for decades.
Coulsdon has plenty of Edwardian and interwar homes where the look of the windows really matters. We'll recommend styles, such as flush sash or sliding sash, that respect the proportions and character of your home while giving you modern comfort and security. If you're unsure what suits your property, we'll gladly advise.
For newer builds, extensions and flats, aluminium's clean lines and large glass areas are a natural fit. We can match existing frames, supply large fixed and opening combinations for extensions, and work with freeholders or managing agents where flats require approval.
Not every problem needs a whole new window. If your aluminium frames are structurally sound, a repair can be the smart, cost-effective fix, and we’ll tell you honestly which route makes sense.
Condensation trapped between the panes means the sealed unit has failed. It won't clear on its own and it reduces insulation. We can replace the glass unit only, keeping your existing frame, which is often much cheaper than a full replacement.
Loose handles, stiff hinges and worn locks affect both convenience and security. We repair or replace hardware and adjust sashes so your windows open, close and lock smoothly.
Perished gaskets, misaligned sashes or dirty tracks can cause draughts, noise and windows that stick. We replace seals, realign frames and get things working again, often in a single visit.
It depends on the number of windows, their sizes, styles, glazing and finish. Aluminium usually costs more upfront than uPVC, but it lasts longer and needs very little maintenance. Every home is different, so we offer free, itemised quotes that show exactly what you’re paying for.
It depends on your priorities. Aluminium is stronger, allowing slimmer frames and larger panes of glass, and it’s typically more durable, recyclable and available in more colours. uPVC is usually cheaper and performs well on insulation. If you value a modern look, longevity and maximum light, aluminium is hard to beat. If budget is the main driver, we’ll talk you through both.
Usually not. Replacing windows in a typical house is often “permitted development”, but there are exceptions, including listed buildings, homes in conservation areas with an Article 4 direction, and some flats or leasehold properties. Check with Croydon Council or your freeholder if you’re unsure, and we’ll gladly point you in the right direction.
Often yes, but the rules are stricter. You may need consent, and the council may require the windows to match the original style, such as slim-framed sashes. We’ll help you choose designs likely to be acceptable, but always confirm with your local planning authority before ordering.
Yes to both. As a FENSA-registered installer, we’ll register your installation and you’ll receive your certificate. Your windows also come with our 10-year guarantee.
