The first step is to get in touch. You can do this by telephoning, emailing or using our online form within this website. We’ll reply in a timely fashion to answer any questions and arrange a visit to your property by one of our team if you wish, at a time that is convenient to you.
Our site visit allows us to take all the outline measurements we need as well as listen to your requirements and share information. We will leave you with all the information you need to make your mind up in your own time and - once you have received our no obligation proposal - to compare our offer with quotes from other companies you may have contacted.
When you are ready to place your order, we draw up a contract and deposit request. We arrange a visit from our surveyor with you to get the exact measurements once paperwork is completed and the deposit paid.
Our surveyor’s report covers all the details needed for the correct manufacture of your new installation. It will also highlight whether any permissions (planning / conservation area related etc) are required and we will liaise with you as appropriate to move things forward.
Your windows / doors are manufactured to order by our highly respected and skilled fabrication partners. We liaise with you regarding an installation date, carry out the install and talk you through any suggested aftercare. We will later return to carry out any snagging if required, always at an agreed time which is convenient to you.
PVC-u doors and windows are highly durable, resistant to weathering and above all require minimal maintenance. Aluminum and timber are other options, but carry different costs and timber can require a significant programme of maintenance over a period of time. Properly fitted, quality PVC-u doors and windows generally offer impressive insulation, long-lasting performance and represent great value for money.

The mechanisms on bi-folding doors are relatively complicated pieces of engineering. Bi-fold doors should never be forced and it is strongly advised that any alignment issues be rectified sooner rather than later.
As a rule of thumb, a bit of understanding around how bifold doors operate plus a little TLC and regular maintenance will ensure that the system continues to run smoothly over the years to come.

A: Yes. We have chosen a quality top-branded PVCu supplier for all our rainwater system products which offers a colour match promise across its range of building plastics.
All the clips, pipes, end stops etc will be colour-matched as standard and if you choose to replace soffits, fascia or bargeboards at the same time, they can be colour-matched too.
Evidence has shown that some chemical cleaning products for sanitising door handles may affect the spray paint finish on the fibre glass material used for composite doors. We strongly advise taking extra care not to splash or drip any type of cleaning fluid onto painted areas.
We would advocate the use of only warm, mild soapy water on composite doors.
Yes. One of the major selling points of PVCu is that it comes in clean and consistent colours.
Even though PVCu fascia and soffits may come in set lengths which may require several joints and fixtures, the consistency in manufacture means that even long runs with several joins can still appear effortlessly smart and look great for years.
Our fitters will share advice at the time of installation, or do give us a call if you have any specific questions going forward.
You’ll also find tips and tricks on this website, particularly in our blog.
