Transform Your Colchester Home With High-Performance Windows

We will work with you to supply and install the perfect windows for your property. Whether you are looking for brand-new or replacement windows, get in touch to arrange a free quote.

Energy-Efficient Double Glazing

Windows can suffer from heat loss, draughts and condensation, leading to mould. When you have older windows constructed with older materials, you may start to notice these issues. It’s time to consider new aluminium or uPVC windows. All of our windows are thermally efficient and available with both double and triple glazing.

Improve Your Home’s Value

Investing in a set of windows can increase the value of your property by up to £4000 per window, with the higher end of this figure being achieved when investing in a full set of windows and doors.

Enhanced Home Security

Modern double-glazed windows are very secure. With toughened glass and multi-point locking systems, uPVC windows will deter burglars. What’s more, the dual-paned construction of double glazing makes them significantly harder to break open than older single-pane windows, providing you with greater impact resistance and home security.

Acoustic Insulation

Double and triple-glazed windows can significantly reduce the amount of outdoor noise that enters your home. Whilst they will not be completely soundproof, you will notice a significant difference compared to older windows or single-glazing. The gap between each pane will offer sound-dampening, and the tightly sealed frames of new windows will also help block out noise.

What Other Double-Glazed Products Can We Install?

Energy-Efficient Replacement Doors

Our range of new and replacement doors is built with thermal efficiency in mind to upgrade your property. Including aluminium and uPVC doors, they will help you save on your energy bills and increase the overall aesthetic appeal of your home. We also offer composite front doors, often favoured throughout Colchester for their high strength and durability.

Compared to timber doors, aluminium, composite, and uPVC are all superior in terms of thermal insulation, structural strength, and resistance to the elements.

Conservatories in Colchester

We can also design and install bespoke conservatories across Colchester to provide you with a relaxing area to enjoy your garden’s views and to give your family more living space. With a range of styles and designs available, we’ll ensure your new conservatory blends seamlessly with your existing home.

We offer conservatories in various styles, so you can install one that is a natural extension of your home, fusing it with your existing Colchester property. Whether you want to maximise natural light, control temperature or ensure better privacy, we can work with you to install a conservatory that perfectly fits your lifestyle needs. After all, choosing the right conservatory is important for aesthetics, weatherproofing, draughtproofing, and thermal efficiency.

We install Hup systems, which are a quick and efficient way to build a durable conservatory extension. They don’t require architectural drawings, and they come pre-designed and fabricated, making for a simple installation which doesn’t interrupt your daily life. With Hup, you’ll get clear product pricing, a reliable installation timeframe, and zero waste in production and in your home.

Plus, thanks to multi-point locking systems and toughened glass, your conservatory will be secure against intruders, and with insulated columns, you can save money on your energy bills. The Hup system is 60% carbon efficient compared to a standard brick.

Our team can work with you to understand your needs, preferences and budget, ensuring that you receive the best conservatory option for your Colchester home.

Replacement Conservatory Roofs

We can also supply replacement conservatory roofs to refresh and improve the efficiency of your existing conservatory space. The Ultraroof replacement roofs we supply are lightweight yet incredibly strong and thermally efficient, making them an ideal replacement for many conservatory styles and types.

These roofs can be manufactured in many different styles and designs, so your new roof can be personalised to match your personal taste and to complement the rest of your property.

Protecting The Character of Colchester Homes

Colchester has several conservation areas, including Mill Field Estate and North Station Road. If you choose to install double glazing in a conservation area, you must consult Colchester City Council for approval to change the windows. Over the years, we’ve worked on properties of different ages and aesthetics, so we can help you navigate the various restrictions that apply to conservation areas.

Can Double Glazing Be Repaired?

You don’t always need a replacement to restore your windows to full working condition. Our specialists can offer cost-effective repairs whenever possible to extend the lifespan of your windows. With a transparent, no-pressure assessment, we’ll determine whether a repair is a viable option.

If a replacement is truly the better long-term solution for your energy bills and security, we’ll show you exactly why, giving you the facts you need to make an informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are New Windows A Good Investment For My Home?

New windows are an excellent investment for your home. You’ll save money on your energy bills, especially compared to older windows. Older windows are built with less efficient materials, and natural wear and tear will cost you more compared to investing in new windows and saving money on energy bills in the long term.

How Secure Is Double Glazing?

Modern double-glazing is incredibly secure, due to the two panes of toughened glass and multi-point locking systems. Together, these will withstand forced entry whilst also acting as a visual deterrent for intruders too.

Are Double-Glazed Windows Available In Different Colours and Styles?

We offer various styles and materials as follows:

Casement Windows
Flush Sash Windows
Sliding Sash Windows
Tilt and Turn Windows
Bow and Bay Windows
Residence 9 Windows
Aluminium Windows
Slimline Aluminium
Triple Glazing
uPVC Windows

All of our windows are available in various finishes, too, which can be viewed on our brochures page.

When Should I Replace My Old Windows?

There are various signs and symptoms to look out for.

A visibly damaged window could lead to structural damage and other issues. If your windows are difficult to open or operate, you need a repair or an upgrade. A window with a damaged locking mechanism could risk the security of your home.

Condensation can build up between the two panes of glass on older windows. This indicates the seals have blown, meaning you need new windows. A blown seal will be less efficient, allowing water in around the window, causing damage and mould.

Finally, another common sign of a damaged window seal is a draught. It’s time for a replacement if your windows are letting heat escape and cold air in. In this case, a new window will not only make your home cosier, but will also lower your energy bills.

How Long Do uPVC Windows Last?

With the right care and maintenance, a uPVC window can last between 20 and 35 years.

Do New Windows Require Planning Permission and Building Regulations?

New windows generally do not need planning permission if they are a like-for-like replacement. They will require building regulations for safety and energy efficiency.

You will be required to apply for planning permission if you live in a listed building or a designated area such as a conservation zone. Planning permission is also required when adding new windows where none existed previously.

Our team are knowledgeable of the Colchester area and will be able to advise you on where planning permission is required during your free quote.

Do Your Windows Offer Noise Reduction For Homes Near The A12 Or Southway?

New double glazing will significantly reduce external noise, thanks to the sealed, insulating barrier of argon gas between the two glass panes. This dampens sound wave vibrations, lessening the amount of noise that can make its way into your home. This is a good choice for minimising the traffic vibration from the A12 or Southway.

Acoustic glazing is an excellent option if you want to significantly reduce noise from nearby busy roads, compared to standard glazing.

How Can I Make My Old Conservatory More Energy Efficient?

A replacement conservatory roof is an excellent way to make your old conservatory more energy efficient. We supply the Ultraroof, which is fully insulated, to remove old issues such as cold spots and condensation, making your conservatory comfortable all year round. These roofs will also make you less reliant on your central heating for warmth, lowering your energy bills and carbon footprint.

Do Conservatories Require Planning Permission?

Conservatories typically fall under permitted development. This means that you are not required to apply for planning permission. You should always contact Colchester City Council if you are ever unsure about whether planning permission is required.

If your conservatory is built to the side of your property, it must be single-storey and 4 metres or under. If it is built to the rear, it must not extend beyond the rear of the property by up to 6 metres for semi-detached homes and 8 metres for detached dwellings, and must not exceed 4 metres in height.

How Long Do Conservatories Take To Install?

The total installation time will depend on various factors. This can include the size of your conservatory, whether you require planning permission, and the features you want.

Our team can give you an accurate estimate of the duration of your installation. Our general rule of thumb is 3 to 6 weeks from start to completion. If you need planning permission, this can add around 8 weeks to the timeframe.

Can A New Replacement Door Increase The Value Of My Home?

A new replacement front door can significantly increase your home’s value by improving the kerb appeal and creating a good first impression. Choosing a durable, secure and energy-efficient door, such as uPVC or composite, can generate high returns.

In fact, investing in a full set of new windows and doors can increase the overall value of your property by up to £4000 each on average.

Do uPVC, Composite & Aluminium Doors Require Maintenance?

After installation, our range of doors will not require extensive maintenance. Simply clean your doors with a cleaning solution or a specific cleaning product and a cloth, and they will look as good as new. These materials do not rot and are resistant to environmental damage, so they don’t need treating to maintain structural integrity.

Are There Any Double-Glazing Grants Available in Colchester?

Residents in Colchester can access several government-backed schemes to unlock further funding towards their double-glazing, generally targeted at low-income or vulnerable households.

There is also impartial energy advice available in Colchester through the Better Housing, Better Health (BHBH) service run by the National Energy Foundation. This advice includes energy switching, energy saving, being added to the utility company priority registers and access to grant funding to improve your home’s energy efficiency. Community Energy Colchester is a good place to start for further energy-saving advice and support in energy recommendations.

Current government grants include:

Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) – supporting low-income and vulnerable households to install energy-saving measures and improve the efficiency of their homes, to reduce fuel poverty and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Are Replacement Windows Thermally Efficient?

Modern replacement windows are highly thermally efficient and will help to reduce your energy bills and improve your carbon footprint by retaining heat.
