Double Glazing Replacement services we handle
Full house replacement
Replacement windows for the whole house, surveyed, made in Trafford Park and fitted in 1 to 3 days.
Casement windows
Casements built as a-rated windows, because energy efficient windows should not be an upsell.
Flush casements
The clean, period-friendly look most older frontages ask for.
Tilt and turn
Easy-clean and great for upper floors. Triple glazing available where noise is the problem.
New sealed units only
Not every job is a full replacement. New sealed units into sound frames is the cheaper route.
Doors to match
Front and back doors made to match the new windows, FENSA certificate included.
Signs the frames have had their day
Most people replace too early or far too late. These are the honest triggers.
Draughts you cannot cure
Old windows draughty replace territory: when the gaskets have been renewed and the sashes adjusted and the cold still comes through, the frame itself has gone.
Early uPVC
Replace 1990s double glazing where the plastic has gone brittle and yellow. Those frames were built before modern welding and reinforcement.
Whole house at once
Whole house window replacement costs less per window than doing them in ones and twos, because the survey, the delivery and the fitting team are shared.
An upgrade, not a rescue
Upgrade double glazing when the frames are fine but the glass is dated. Replace old double glazing units and keep everything else.
Noise
Acoustic double glazing on a main road. Double glazing noise reduction comes from asymmetric pane thicknesses and a laminated interlayer, not from a wider gap.
Security
A double glazing security upgrade: laminated glass at ground level and modern multipoint locking, which older frames often cannot accept.
The numbers that actually matter
Window Energy Rating
A rated double glazing is the baseline we build to, and WER A++ windows are available where you want the best band on the scale.
U-values
U-value windows measure heat loss through the whole unit. Lower is better, and it is the figure building control cares about rather than the letter grade.
Building control
Building regs windows duties are met either by a certified window installer self-certifying or by a building control application. Window building regulations UK rules apply to replacements, not just new build.
Supply and fit
Double glazing supply and fit from one firm, so there is nobody to blame between the factory and the fitter when something needs adjusting.

Before & after
Such a great experience! Super happy with the service, highly recommend!
Reliable, honest, and professional. They manufactured and installed our new composite front door, and the finish is perfect. Highly recommended.
Common questions, honest answers
Can windows be fitted in winter?
Yes. Each opening is only exposed for minutes, and we fit all year round. Winter slots are often easier to book.
Do I need full new windows, or just new glass units?
If your frames are sound and only the units have failed, unit replacement is far cheaper and we'll recommend it. Where frames are done, full replacement is honest advice, not upselling.
How much difference will new double glazing make to bills?
Moving from early-2000s units to modern A-rated glazing typically saves a few hundred pounds a year in a family home. You'll also feel much warmer near the glass in Manchester's winter weather.
Can you match the style of homes in Manchester?
Yes. Flush casements, woodgrain foils, sash-look frames and slim aluminium are all made in-house. Around Moss Side, Longsight and Harpurhey we regularly match period frontages and conservation expectations.
How much does double glazing cost in the UK?
Double glazing prices follow the count, the sizes, the style and the glass spec, so a terraced house and a detached with bays are different jobs entirely. We give itemised double glazing quotes per window after a survey, which lets you drop or add openings and see exactly what each one changes.
How long does double glazing last?
Frames outlast the glass. A well made uPVC frame is a multi-decade item, while sealed units have a finite life and hinges and handles wear sooner. Replacement double glazing cost is usually driven by frames finally going, not by the glass.
Is it worth replacing double glazing?
If the frames are sound and only the units have failed, no. Replace the units and keep the windows. If the frames are draughty, brittle or will not hold an adjustment, then yes, and the comfort difference is immediate even before any saving on bills.
Will new windows reduce my heating bill?
They reduce heat loss through the glazing, which is real but rarely dramatic on its own. Going from single glazing or failed 1990s units to modern A-rated windows makes a noticeable difference. Going from decent existing double glazing to slightly better double glazing does not. We will say which of those you are looking at.
How much to replace all windows in a house?
It depends entirely on the count, the sizes and the spec, which is why we itemise per window rather than quote a house price. A typical three bedroom house is one to two days on site once the frames are made. Larger houses run to three. Each window is out and back in the same day, so the house is never left open overnight.
How long does it take to replace all windows?
A three bedroom house is usually one to two days on site once the frames are made, and larger houses run to three. Each window comes out and goes back the same day, so the house is never left open overnight.
Do I need a window replacement company that is certified?
You need the work notified under building regulations one way or another. A certified window installer self-certifies; otherwise it goes through building control. Ask any window replacement company which route they use before ordering, because you will want the certificate when you sell.

Glass cut and frames made in Manchester
Every Manchester job is backed by our own workshop at 7 Trafford Moss Road, Trafford Park. That is where we cut glass, build sealed units and fabricate uPVC and aluminium frames.
That's why we quote fixed prices, carry the right materials and turn around odd-size units in 24 to 48 hours. Nothing is ordered in from a third party. Most of Manchester sits 20 to 45 minutes from the workshop door, traffic included.
When replacing actually beats repairing
We do both, and we would rather tell you honestly which one you need. Age on its own is not the test.
- Repair while the frame is sound
- If the frame is straight and true and parts are still available, hardware is a fraction of the cost of a window.
- Replace when the frames have moved
- Once a frame has gone soft or dropped out of square, hardware will keep failing because the geometry is wrong.
- Replace when the parts have gone
- Obsolete hardware can be matched, but there is a point where matching costs more than the window is worth.
- Replace when several units fail together
- Sealed units of the same age tend to go within a few years of each other, and at that point the sums change.
- Replace when you are doing the room anyway
- Plaster, sills and decorating are the disruptive part. Doing it once is cheaper than doing it twice.
A twenty year old window in good order is worth keeping. A twelve year old one that has moved is not. We will tell you which you have.
What changes the price of replacing double glazing
A whole-house figure comes from a survey, but these are the things that move it.
- How many windows and doors. The single biggest factor, and the reason a per-window figure is misleading on its own.
- Styles. Bays, tilt and turns and shaped heads all cost more than a plain casement.
- Material. uPVC, aluminium and flush timber-effect sit at different price points.
- Access. Upper floors over a conservatory or an awkward frontage may need equipment.
