Services
uPVC Windows
Our uPVC windows combine energy efficiency with security, featuring steel reinforcement and 'A' rated double glazing. Available in various styles including tilt & turn, casement, and reversible designs, they come in multiple woodgrain and solid colour finishes. These windows offer excellent thermal performance while requiring minimal maintenance.
Draught Proofing
Specialist sash window draught proofing using brush seals and improved catches reduces heat loss by up to 40%. This heritage-friendly solution preserves original timber windows while enhancing energy efficiency. The process typically services 4-5 windows daily with minimal disruption to homeowners.
Secondary Glazing
We install secondary glazing systems in UPVC, hardwood, and aluminium to improve thermal efficiency. Available in various opening styles, these systems complement existing windows while providing noise reduction and enhanced security for both residential and commercial properties.
Composite Doors
Our composite doors feature multi-material construction with GRP skins and insulating cores. Available in various woodgrain finishes and decorative glass options, they incorporate multi-point locking systems for enhanced security. These doors offer superior thermal resistance compared to traditional timber alternatives.
