Warmer rooms, quieter mornings and a lower energy bill - without the dust sheets staying up for a fortnight. A-rated sealed units, FENSA-compliant fitting, and a fixed price you can keep.
8+ years installing across the Marches · insurance-backed 10-year guarantee · 600+ homes completed.
Window replacement is the single highest-impact upgrade most period and post-war homes in Ludlow can make. Done properly, it cuts heat loss, kills draughts, dampens road noise and lifts the kerb value of the property in a weekend.
Tired windows rarely fail in one dramatic moment. They bleed money quietly for years before anyone notices.
An uninsulated 1990s UPVC window leaks roughly three to four times more heat than a modern A-rated unit. Across a full house that's £300–£600 a year on gas you'll never get back.
Cold spots around old frames condense moisture, which feeds black mould on plasterboard, curtains and skirtings. Replacing the windows usually fixes the mould; bleaching it doesn't.
Pre-2010 windows generally lack PAS 24 multi-point locking. Insurers know this - premiums rise and claims get queried.
Buyers and surveyors flag aged glazing in valuations. Misted units alone can shave four-figure sums off an offer.
We measure every opening, photograph the reveals, check sill condition and discuss colour, glass spec and trickle vents - usually 45 minutes for an average house.
You receive an itemised quote: frame spec, energy rating, glass options, fitting, waste removal and the FENSA certificate cost.
On approval we order from our UK fabricators. Standard UPVC lead time is 3–4 weeks; aluminium and timber-effect 5–7 weeks.
Most full-house jobs are done in 2–4 days. Dust sheets down, one room at a time, frames sealed, plastered back, silicone neat, old units recycled the same day.
We test every opener and lock with you, hand over the FENSA certificate and register your insurance-backed 10-year guarantee. We're 10 minutes away if anything ever needs adjusting.
A-rated frames typically pay back within 6–9 years on heating savings alone.
Acoustic-laminated glass cuts road and traffic noise by up to 35 dB - noticeable on Corve Street.
PAS 24-rated multi-point locking and laminated glass options on ground-floor openings.
Old frames, glass and packaging removed the same day. Plastered reveals and silicone finished neatly.
Every job comes with a FENSA certificate lodged with your local authority - required by conveyancers.
We answer the phone in year three the same way we did in week one.
Replacement windows is shorthand for half a dozen genuinely different products. The right specification depends on the property's age, its orientation, planning constraints and the budget you've set aside.
UPVC remains the most cost-effective and lowest-maintenance option, available in white, cream, anthracite grey, chartwell green and full timber-effect foils. Aluminium delivers ultra-slim sightlines and large pane sizes - ideal for contemporary extensions and feature openings. Timber-alternative UPVC mimics flush sash and Georgian heritage frames for conservation areas without the rot risk of real timber.
Standard sealed units are 28mm with low-E coating and argon fill, achieving A-rated WERs. Triple glazing pushes performance to A+ and is worth the uplift on exposed north and east elevations. Acoustic-laminated glass is recommended for any front room facing the A49 or busy market squares.
Casement (top-hung and side-hung), tilt-and-turn for upper floors and easy cleaning, flush sash for cottages and listed-look properties, sliding sash for Georgian and Edwardian terraces, bay and bow windows including structural mullions, and fixed picture windows for maximum daylight.
If the frames are sound and only the sealed units have failed, we can supply and fit replacement glass for a fraction of full replacement. If the frames are rotten, distorted, or fitted before 2002, full replacement nearly always wins on cost-per-year of service life.
Ludlow has a substantial conservation area and a high concentration of listed buildings. Most like-for-like replacements outside listed status are permitted development. Listed work requires Listed Building Consent - we'll tell you straight at survey and can liaise with Shropshire Council's conservation officer where needed.
If a question's missing, ring us - five minutes on the phone beats a brochure every time.
