A good bay or bow window changes a room. It pulls in more daylight, opens up the view and often adds a spot for a seat or a plant. Glitz Windows & Doors supplies, installs, repairs and replaces uPVC bay and bow windows for homes across South London and Surrey.
We’re a family-run firm based in Coulsdon with more than 25 years’ experience. Our own team handles everything, from the free survey to the FENSA certificate at the end, so you deal with the people doing the work.
Bay and bow windows have lots of joints and a lot of glass, which makes material choice matter. uPVC handles it well.
Every bay and bow window is made to measure for your opening, with sealed double glazing as standard. That matters more here than on a flat window, because bay and bow windows have a lot of glass area. Good glazing keeps the room comfortable in winter and stops it overheating in summer.
You can choose which panels open and which stay fixed, add obscure glass for privacy and pick handles and finishes to match your other windows. Efficient glazing also helps you meet Part L of the Building Regulations for thermal performance.
Bay and bow jobs take more care than a standard window swap. There's a roof above, a base below and joints to seal properly. Here is how we do it:
We measure the opening, check the roof, cill and structure and talk through styles and layouts with no pressure.
Itemised, so you can see what you're paying for.
Your bay or bow is built to your exact dimensions.
We remove the old window, fit the new frame, seal and insulate it and protect your home while we work.
We test each opener, adjust the hardware and show you how it all works.
We register the work with FENSA and give you the certificate, plus our 10-year guarantee.
If you're looking for bay and bow window installation near you, we cover Coulsdon, Croydon, Sutton, Caterham, Epsom and Crawley and the surrounding parts of South London and Surrey.
Older bays often start to show their age around the joints and roof. Look out for:
Draughts around the corner posts
Condensation between the panes
Rotten or bowed frames, especially on timber bays being replaced
Sagging or leaking roof sections
Stiff handles or sashes that won't close properly
If your bay or bow window has started to sag or the seals have failed, replacement is often better value than patching. We'll check the base and roof first, so the new window sits on something sound. A good replacement often improves warmth, security and kerb appeal all at once.
You don’t always need a new window. We can often fix loose handles and locks, worn hinges that make a sash drop, perished seals and misted sealed units, where we fit new glass into your existing frame.
If the frames are cracked or warped or the structure needs attention, we’ll say so plainly and talk through replacement. A repair that only buys you a year isn’t worth paying for.
Bay and bow windows cost more than a single flat window because you’re buying several sashes, corner posts, a base or sill and often a roof section, plus more labour to fit them. There’s no single price, because the cost depends on:
Beware of very low headline prices online. They often cover only the frame and leave out posts, cills, roofing and fitting. After a free survey, you’ll receive an itemised written quote that shows exactly what’s included.

Posted on Google Barnaby DawsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adeel and his colleagues were very considerate and efficient. When an issue arose they resolved the matter quickly and to a high standard.Posted on Google Zayd WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had several quotes from the large national companies and local companies. From the outset Adeel from Glitz made me feel comfortable, no pressure selling like some of the others, no over quoting or recommending extra equipment that wasn't needed, just a fair and honest assessment. Once I received the quote Adeel was very attentive, giving us his time to make some final design choices which was really helpful as we were new to this. Throughout the process Adeel kept us informed and made us feel comfortable. The work was carried out well and the installers were great. Would recommend highlyPosted on Google Lilka JayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adeel and his team built a porch for me last week and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He had helpful advice about the design and kept me informed during the process. I can definitely recommend his company. Eliska HoarePosted on Google Valeria STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had our French door replaced by Adeel and his team (Ali & Jib), and we couldn’t be happier! The door is of outstanding quality, beautifully made, and everyone who visits compliments it. Adeel has been incredibly kind from the start, accommodating every request with clear, easy communication. On delivery day, he even called to see if I was nearby so they could place it inside- such a thoughtful touch! The team was friendly, efficient, and professional. We’ll definitely call them again. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Gursharon BirdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t be more satisfied and impressed with the quality and fitting of my windows and doors. Adeel and his wonderful team are local and professional in their ability to deliver. I will definitely be using them again for future projects. 5* plus!!!Posted on Google Ellie CarterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From meeting Adeel for a quote to having our new windows installed, the whole process has been smooth and effortless. I was kept in the loop with delivery times and start dates and the guys who installed the windows were extremely polite and worked very quickly. They also tided up after themselves. Would recommended for anyone looking for new windows!Posted on Google Jay SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. High quality customer service and quality of workmanship. Would highly recommend. Was a pleasure to work with this company.Posted on Google Gioia CattiniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Adeel was great. He is a very good communicator, he listened to our requests carefully and gave us good suggestions on how to design the windows for a great looking result. The new windows are exactly how we wanted them to be and very good quality as well. The job was executed quickly but with attention to details. We had an issue with one of the window's handle but Adeel took charge of replacing it fast. We will definitely contact Adeel again gor future works.
It depends on the shape, size, number of opening sashes and finish, plus the state of the existing base and roof. We give a free survey and an itemised written quote, so you’ll know the full cost before you commit.
A typical bay or bow window replacement usually takes one to two days, depending on the size and condition of the opening. We’ll confirm timings at your survey.
Yes. Multi-chambered frames and sealed double glazing reduce heat loss, and they can help you meet current Building Regulations for thermal performance.
Often, yes. Handles, hinges, seals and misted units can usually be fixed. If the frame or structure is failing, we’ll advise on replacement.
Replacing an existing bay is normally covered by FENSA registration, which we handle. Adding a brand-new bay or altering the structure may need approval, so check with your local authority and we’ll advise at your survey.
