Per window — multiple windows in one visit attract a discount. No VAT and no call-out fee — the price you see is the price you pay. Parts and labour are included unless otherwise stated.
Frequently asked questions
My window handle has snapped — can it be repaired?
Usually no — the handle itself needs replacing. We carry stock for most uPVC handle types.
What is an espagnolette?
The locking mechanism running the length of a uPVC window edge — the long bar with mushroom cams that engage into the frame keeps.
Do you offer discounts for multiple windows?
Yes, the per-window price drops significantly when several windows are done in one visit. We'll quote on-site.
