Why UPVC?
UPVC stands for Unplasticised Poly Vinyl Chloride. Also sometimes known as vinyl, it is a rigid, long-lasting, durable, and low-maintenance material. UPVC double-glazed and triple-glazed windows offer high energy efficiency and are designed to be strong, robust, and secure. We can supply and install a range of upvc window styles to complement all properties, from Woodgrain to White, Anthracite Grey to Irish Oak.
UPVC has become accepted as the most practical, affordable and stylish material for replacement windows and doors in the UK. Over the last 40 years, UK manufacturers have made considerable investment into their machinery and processes to produce the high quality products that we can now supply.
Our Windows Are Maintenance Free!
Our windows are supplied with easy clean hinges that only need an occasional wipe down with warm soapy water.
Rust Free
Rot Free
Recyclable
Lead Free
Our sealed units are custom-made to your requirements, including size, glass type, spacer colour and thickness, and energy rating. Glass options include laminated, annealed, and toughened.
UPVC bay windows come in a number of styles, including bow, angle and box. Bow windows are smoother and form a curve that projects outwards from a house rather than the ‘box’ shape of a bay window.
UPVC sash windows are a perfect alternative to wooden sash windows. They combine traditional Georgian style with modern thermal efficiency and security, making traditional Georgian sash windows functional.
Quiet and Warm
All our windows are made to measure and come A+ rated as standard. The multi-chambered frame and sash reflect heat back in, preventing it from escaping. Argon gas between the panes blocks out cold, and low-conductivity spacers help retain warmth. Double weather-resistant seals stop rain and draughts. Together, these features boost thermal efficiency, keeping your home warmer, quieter, and more energy efficient.
Assured Certified
We are an Assured Certified installer. Assure is an official, UKAS-accredited Competent Persons Scheme authorised by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) for the replacement of windows, roof windows, roof lights and doors in England and Wales.
Every project is automatically registered and backed by a 10-year warranty, providing further peace of mind and guaranteed satisfaction for our clients.
Safe and Secure
All of our windows meet the British Standard for security, ensuring that your home has the highest level of protection. We use an internal glazing bead to prevent the glass being removed from the outside. In addition, our windows are all fitted Shockbolt Locking Secured by design locking system and Fire Escape as standard.
We can provide a range of UPVC window styles, including:
UPVC Casement Windows
A casement is a window that is attached to its frame by one or more hinges at the side. They are used singly or in pairs within a common frame.
Astragal Bar Windows
Astragal bar windows are where the bars are planted on to the glass. They separate panes of glass, giving the effect of traditional period features.
Georgian Bar Windows
Georgian bar windows are where the bars are sandwiched between the pains of glass, creating the Georgian window style but remaining easy to clear and maintain.
Residence 9 (R9) Windows
Residence-9 Window – R9 is manufactured from a modern composite material to give a virtually maintenance free finish. It is a new window system designed to replicate the 19th Century Flush Timber Windows.
Vertical Slider Windows
Our vertical slider windows maintain the period features of Georgian sliding windows without draughts, rattling or poor security. Our design combines a smooth glide with high-quality hardware.
Tilt & Turn Windows
Tilt and turn windows are some of the most versatile UPVC windows available. The windows open inwards to allow you to clean the glass without leaning outside, whilst the tilt option provides ventilation without compromising security.

FAQs
Hardly any! We would recommend using a good quality glass cleaner to regularly clean your windows and soapy water only to clean window frames.
Compared to other window materials, such as timber and aluminium, UPVC is more affordable. If you would like a free, no obligation quote please get in touch with us.
There’s no need to change all your windows at once. If it is more convenient for you and your budget, we can install one or two windows at a time.
We have a wide range of window styles and colours available to suit all types of property. Gone are the days of simple white UPVC window frames, now you can choose from wood grain, grey and oak amongst others.
Yes. The process of fitting shutters to UPVC window frames is the same as timber frames because they are usually fitted to the building rather than the frame itself. We would recommend using a specialist company to ensure clearance from handles and hinges, and easy opening of the windows.
The life expectancy of UPVC doors and windows is around 30 years.
If fitted correctly, UPVC windows can achieve energy ratings as high as ‘A’. This is best possible energy efficiency within homes and exceeds the industry requirement.
Planning permission is not normally needed for repairing, fitting or replacing doors and windows, unless your building is listed, or you live in a conservation area. If this is the case, we recommend you check with your local planning authority before going ahead.
Installation time depends on the number of windows and style, but generally a whole house (8-10 windows) will take 1-2 days to complete. When we visit your property to carry out a survey, we will understand the scope of work required and be able to give you a more accurate time estimate.
If your old windows are UPVC, we will send them to a recycling facility where they will be used to make new energy efficient products.Will I need to redecorate or replaster after installation? It is possible that some plaster work will be required around the window reveals, but our installer will carry this out for you.
Yes, we need access to both the outside and inside of the property in order to replace the windows. Our installers are all fully trained and will make necessary arrangements with you to access your home. We respect any health concerns, for example COVID, and will clear away all mess at the end of the job.
Yes, we will need full access to the windows to carry out the installation.
