Services
uPVC Windows
Our uPVC windows combine low-maintenance durability with superior security features, including multi-point locking systems and A-rated double glazing. Available in casement, tilt-and-turn, and bay configurations, they offer thermal efficiency through argon gas-filled units and warm-edge spacer bars. Customisable with decorative glazing options like bevels and leaded designs, these windows suit both modern and traditional properties while maintaining energy efficiency.
Composite Doors
Engineered with a polyurethane foam core and GRP skin, our composite doors provide exceptional insulation and security. Available in various colours and finishes, they mimic timber aesthetics without requiring regular maintenance. Enhanced with multi-point locking systems and optional decorative glazing, these doors offer long-lasting performance with U-values as low as 0.6 W/mK, ensuring year-round thermal comfort.
Conservatory Roofs
We transform conservatories with lightweight tiled roofs featuring aluminium subframes and 120mm insulation. Options include Supalite systems with building control certification or custom-built solutions with Metrotile finishes. These roofs improve thermal efficiency while maintaining structural integrity, converting sunrooms into usable spaces with U-values down to 0.18 W/mK.
Aluminium Systems
Smart Aluminium Systems provide thermally broken frames with powder-coated finishes in RAL colours. Our bi-fold and sliding doors feature minimal sightlines and high security, with optional triple glazing for noise reduction. Commercial-grade profiles ensure durability in coastal environments, supported by a 25-year guarantee against corrosion.
Leadlight Restoration
Traditional leadlights are carefully removed, repaired, and encapsulated within double-glazed units. Using 4-9mm lead cames in antique, blackened, or gold finishes, we preserve historical details while improving energy efficiency. This service includes pattern replication and UV-protected sealing to maintain visual appeal for decades.

Had windows and doors installed and very happy with the quality and the service received. Could have been perfect but there were minor glitches which.

Had our original Windows with Distinction 14 years ago. Have always had excellent service, then, and for other work they've done.
