If you’re wondering how it all works, here’s a simple guide to help you understand each step.
Step 1: Free Home Assessment
Before any work begins, we offer a free assessment at your home. During this visit, we:
✔ Inspect your current windows and frames.
✔ Discuss the best PVC window options for your home.
✔ Provide a clear, no-obligation quote.
✔ Check if you’re eligible for grants or financial support.
Time Frame: The assessment typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the number of windows.
Step 2: Ordering Your New Windows
Once you’ve chosen your new windows, .
✔ Choose your new window (type, colour, etc.).
✔ We measure all your existing windows.
✔ We place the order with our trusted manufacturers.
Time Frame: The lead time for new PVC windows is typically 8–12 weeks, as each window is custom-made to fit your home.
Step 3: Preparing for Installation
Ahead of installation day, we recommend:
✔ Moving furniture or fragile items away from the windows.
✔ Removing curtains, blinds, or window dressings.
✔ Our team will cover floors and furniture to keep dust to a minimum.
Step 4: Removing the Old Windows

✔ Removing the frame and glass safely.
✔ Cleaning and preparing the opening for the new window.
Time Frame: Each window removal takes about 20–40 minutes, depending on size and condition.

Time Frame: Each window installation takes about 45–90 minutes.
