Paxtons Home Improvements

Established in 1992, Paxtons Home Improvements Limited is a family owned and run company based in Saffron Walden, Essex. Paxtons supply all types of UPVC, aluminium and timber windows and doors, conservatories, orangeries and associated products, and a wide range of contract services. We stock and supply all types of glass and offer a full glazing service for homeowners and commercial customers. Over the last 25 years Paxtons has built-up a much-envied reputation for value, service and on-going customer support around the East Anglian region.

The growing popularity of orangeries has led to the creation of a specialist Orangeries Division under the personal control of Gary Bower, Director - telephone 01799 527542. The service, introduced in 2010, offers customers a complete design-through-to-build solution, including: artist's impressions of the proposed scheme; planning applications and building regulations with the relevant authorities, where necessary; and full project management during the build. Using the latest aluminium roof lantern supports and a large choice of roof lantern styles, Paxtons has developed a proven orangery roof system that allows quick installation, even when access is restricted, with the minimum of mess and disruption.

Let Paxtons design and construct the conservatory you've always dreamed of. Our expert staff offer a service that is second to none, full of clever touches and a keen eye on the all important details. With a wide choice of styles to choose from, Paxtons can design a conservatory that will complement your home perfectly; creating valuable extra space that you can enjoy all year round. Using the latest heat reflective glass and underfloor or central heating, your new conservatory will work seamlessly with your existing home, extending the floorspace, introducing floods of glorious light, and creating exciting new possibilities for its use and enjoyment.

Our maintenance-free UPVC fascias, soffits, weatherboarding and guttering save you both time and money. No more flaking, rotten wood that needs repainting every 2-3 years, or struggling with ladders or hired scaffold towers. Our specialist fitters will remove all the old timber before installing our worry-free UPVC products that instantly give your home a cleaner, fresher look. And, with our 10 year guarantee, you will have the peace of mind that this look will last. Please call our sales team on 01799 527542 for more information or to arrange a no-obligation sales visit to go through the options.

Paxtons Home Improvements Limited has launched a new division dedicated to the supply and installation of the Granada secondary glazing range. All of our secondary glazing units are designed and manufactured to be installed discreetly alongside the existing window. This form of double glazing offers minimum disruption during installation, excellent insulation and high levels of noise reduction. Secondary double glazing is often an ideal solution for a listed building or a property in a sensitive conservation area.

With blinds you have precise control over the amount of light you let in, allowing you to manage the mood, protect valuable furnishings against bright sunlight and add an extra level of privacy, when required. Our new electric blinds are now available to match the full range of Origin bi-folding doors supplied and installed by Paxtons and Cambridge Bi-folding Doors. Installed at the time of the door installation, or fitted at a later date, the blinds are operated electrically by remote control. In larger rooms, where multiple blinds are installed, the remote can be configured to operate blinds individually or as a group.

The Paxtons range of aluminium entrance doors has a very distinctive look, currently very popular with discerning buyers and architects. Aluminium windows and doors were here a long time before UPVC became available, and although UPVC is now far more popular today, a lot of people still prefer the slimmer look that aluminium offers. The choice of stylish, modern, aluminium entrance doors increased enormously recently with the launch of Origin's Residential Entrance Door Collection. Echoing the engineering excellence of their class-leading bi-folding doors, the new range offers sharp design, impressive insulation and high security.

Paxtons Home Improvements Limited has launched a new division dedicated to the supply and installation of roof lanterns and skylights. The popularity of the orangery has grown enormously over the last five years. Whether the design follows the traditional route of square or rectangular lanterns, positioned centrally in the ceiling area, or, a much larger lantern creating a 'light ceiling' over the whole space, the end result is the same: loads of glorious light! At Paxtons we understand orangeries.

This is where Paxtons started back in 1992, and you'll have to go a long way to find a company with a more extensive knowledge of the glazing market. These days there is a huge range of glass available, so we have decided not to include all of the options on this website. Far better, we think, to give us a ring with your requirements and we will be happy to sort it out the old fashioned way. If you need any type of glass, cut to size, polished or unpolished edges - call 01799 527542. Paxtons also offer a full emergency repair service, contract glazing service and specialist glass restoration service for churches, colleges, schools and heritage properties.

Paxtons offer a large range of UPVC entrance doors in a wide variety of styles, colours and finishes. The construction and finish of our UPVC door range is of the highest quality and we are confident that they will satisfy the most demanding customer. Our choice of designs cover all areas of the home - from a stylish entrance door to 'heavy-traffic' back doors. All Paxtons UPVC entrance doors are supplied fully fitted (unless specified otherwise), include the latest security and insulation features and are guaranteed for 10 years.

From simple coloured splashbacks and glass worktops to redesigned stairways, glass balustrades or a glazed room feature, Paxtons have the team to make your designs a reality. Working with you, your designer or architect, Paxtons will explore the possibilities for every design - however complex or imaginative - and provide a detailed estimate for the manufacture, supply and installation of the preferred solution. And please don't be governed by what you've seen done already, we enjoy a challenge and normally know just the right people in the industry to make it happen.

Our extensive range of UPVC casement windows is available in white, a large choice of colours and a selection of woodgrain finishes. Specially designed to ensure that your home is safe and protected at all times, our UPVC casement windows are the first choice for many security conscious home owners. Their elegant appearance conceals many highly advanced features built-in during manufacture, including 28mm double glazed units to reduce heat loss and outside noise and high security multi-lock systems.

Paxtons Home Improvements Limited has launched a new division dedicated to the supply and installation of our Origin aluminium bi-folding door range. Bi-folding doors are the perfect answer to bringing the outdoors - garden, patio, terrace or balcony - 'indoors'. The sense of space and unbroken views (no pillars or posts) makes them an eye-catching choice for any homeowner or developer. Paxtons offer the full range of aluminium, UPVC and timber bi-folding door sets in any combination of straight-runs or corner openings.

From dramatic entrance doors or stylish atriums through to full project fit-outs and curtain walling, Paxtons have the technicians and engineers to make manufacturing your ideas a reality, and the skilled fitters to take it through to completion. Working with your designer or architect, Paxtons will explore the possibilities for every design, however complex or imaginative, and provide a detailed estimate for the manufacture, supply and installation of the preferred solution. For details of projects that we have undertaken, or for more information about the products and services that we can offer, please telephone Gary Bower on 01799 527542, who'll be happy to help you.

Paxtons Home Improvements Limited has launched a new division dedicated to the supply and installation of sash windows. The Paxtons range of UPVC vertical slider sash windows deliver the perfect balance of design and function. Produced using the latest materials and production methods, the slider offers a solid and reliable action that will remain true for years to come. Modelled on the traditional sash style, the window will sit comfortably in any period style property and is suitable for both the commercial and domestic replacement and new build markets.

The Ultraframe LivinRoom roof combines the light and space of a fully glazed roof with a plastered perimeter ceiling detail, in the style of a modern organgery. The perimeter ceiling detail is a defining feature of a modern orangery and is often used to house lighting units - as shown in our main picture above. Based on the well-proven Ultraframe roofing system, the LivinRoom roof can be specified in a wide choice of designs including Contemporary, Victorian, Georgian, Gable and lean-tos. Perfect for a conservatory upgrade or specified as part of a new project, the Ultraframe range follows a modular design philosophy allowing fast installation with the minimum amount of mess and disruption.

The Ultraframe LivinRoof (smooth finish) and UltraRoof (lightweight tiles) have been designed specifically to meet the demands of conservatory owners who want to adapt their existing conservatories into a single-storey solid roof extension. The new roofing systems can breathe new life into an old conservatory, or be specified as part of a new one. Effectively a cross between a conservatory and orangery, the LivinRoof and UltraRoof systems deliver the high thermal efficiency values and noise reduction, expected of a conventional roof, but can include glazed panels, as part of the design, to create 'orangery-style' down lighting.

Traditional French doors have always been popular and became a standard feature in properties constructed from the thirties onwards. The Paxtons range of aluminium French doors remains true to the original design but with new features to make your propery more secure and better insulated. Incorporating the latest multi-point locking systems and high insulation glass, our aluminium French doors complement our window and door ranges perfectly, and are offered in a variety of design styles, colours and finishes.
