Slim aluminium frames, more glass and a long service life, measured and fitted by us.
Aluminium windows are priced by size, by the number of opening lights and by the finish. A fixed pane costs less than the same size with two openers in it, because the openers carry the hardware. Colour matters as well. A standard powder coat is the value choice, and a dual colour finish, white inside and anthracite outside for example, costs more but is what most people are actually after.
We survey every opening free of charge and price the job in writing, including the windows, the delivery, the fitting, the sealing and the making good. Whole house jobs are priced as one figure with the breakdown shown, so you can see what each opening costs rather than being handed a single number to take on trust.
Every opening light adds hinges, a handle and a lock. Fixed panes are cheaper per metre than openers.
Standard powder coat colours are the value option. Dual colour and bespoke finishes add to the frame cost.
Standard sealed units on most openings, with obscure glass for bathrooms and toughened where the regulations call for it.
A straight swap for an existing frame is quicker than an opening that needs the reveals or a rotten timber frame putting right first.
Whether it is one window or a whole house, the process is the same. Here is what happens.
Every opening is measured individually, because houses move and no two are identical. We check the reveals, the sills and the lintels and talk through openers, colours and glass.
A written figure with each opening shown, covering the windows, delivery, fitting, sealing and clear up. No call out fee and no delivery charge.
Windows are made to your surveyed sizes. We confirm the lead time in writing, and delivery to us is free. On a whole house we agree the running order with you first.
Old frames out, new frames packed, fixed, sealed and adjusted, then the reveals made good inside and out. Old frames and glass go away with us the same day.
Strength. Aluminium holds the same size opening on a much thinner frame, so you get noticeably more glass and a cleaner look, and it will not distort on a large opening. uPVC is the better value option on standard replacements, and we will say so if that is what suits.
Modern frames are thermally broken, which puts an insulating barrier through the middle of the frame, so they perform nothing like the aluminium windows of thirty years ago. Paired with a decent sealed unit they are warm windows.
Yes, and it is one of the main reasons people choose aluminium. White or grey internally with anthracite outside is the common pairing. It costs a little more than a single colour and it is worth deciding at the survey.
Regularly. We agree the order of work with you first so the house is never left open, and the job runs room by room. The price is broken down per opening so you can see exactly what is what.
The entire window. Frames, sealed units, hinges, handles and locks, not just the glass. Hardware is what sees daily use, so cover that stops at the sealed unit is not much cover at all.
