Service overview

What uPVC window replacement actually involves

A uPVC window replacement is a full envelope job, not a swap of the moving parts. We measure the aperture on site, manufacture each frame to the exact opening, then remove your existing windows, prepare the reveals, fit the new units level and plumb, seal them properly inside and out, and hand you the paperwork that keeps the guarantee live.

It's the right service for homeowners with draughty timber windows, misted 1990s double-glazing, single-glazed frames that fail Building Regs, or landlords who need a compliant, low-maintenance solution across a portfolio. We work on everything from Valleys terraces in Blackwood and Risca to modern detached homes across Newport.

You need a proper installer — not a supply-only quote and a handyman — because a uPVC window is only as good as the fit. Squareness, packers, DPC treatment, trickle vents, sealant grade and internal beading all decide whether the window performs for two years or twenty. That's the difference we're paid for.

The cost of leaving it

What happens if you leave old windows in place

Failing windows rarely fail dramatically. They fail slowly — and the cost stacks up quietly in the background.

Rising heating bills

Old single-glazed and blown double-glazed units let heat leak straight through the glass and around the frame. Your boiler works harder every winter to hold the same room temperature.

Damp, mould and rotten sills

Perished seals let water track inside. That water rots timber sub-sills, blackens plasterboard reveals and starts mould on curtains and walls — problems that cost far more to remediate than to replace the window.

Security you can't rely on

Pre-2005 uPVC often has single-cam locks and outdated euro cylinders that snap in seconds. Insurers increasingly want to see modern multi-point locking and PAS 24-tested hardware.

The 'cheap installer' trap

The most expensive mistake we see is a bargain install from an unregistered fitter — no ASSURE registration, no IBG, no proper paperwork. When something fails and the trader vanishes, the homeowner pays twice.

Our process

Five steps from enquiry to guaranteed install.

  1. STEP 01

    Free survey

    One of the family visits, measures every aperture, checks the reveals and talks through profile, colour and glazing options — usually inside a week of your enquiry.

  2. STEP 02

    Itemised quote

    Written quote back to you in 1–2 days, itemised so you can see exactly what you're paying for. Valid for 30 days, and honoured beyond that if supplier pricing hasn't moved.

  3. STEP 03

    Order & manufacture

    50% deposit on order. Frames are manufactured to your survey dimensions and quality-checked before they leave the factory. Typical lead time is 4–6 weeks.

  4. STEP 04

    Installation

    Our MTC-certified team fits the windows, seals inside and out, disposes of your old units and leaves the property clean. Balance of 50% due on the day, once you're happy.

  5. STEP 05

    Registration & guarantee

    Install is ASSURE-notified for Building Regs compliance and covered by a 10-year product guarantee plus Insurance-Backed Guarantee (IBG) — 5-year cover on the glass.

Benefits

Concrete outcomes — not vague promises.

Warmer rooms, lower bills

Argon-filled, warm-edge double glazing dramatically cuts heat loss and stops the cold draught you feel sitting near an old window.

Genuinely quieter

Sealed, gasketed frames with the right glass spec take the edge off road, rail and neighbour noise — noticeable within days of install.

Built-in security

Multi-point locking systems, internally beaded glazing and anti-snap cylinders as standard. Insurers like them; opportunists don't.

No painting, ever

uPVC doesn't rot, warp or need repainting. An occasional wipe with warm soapy water is the entire maintenance schedule.

Fixed-price certainty

Once we survey and quote, that's the price. No 'while we're here' add-ons, no invented extras once the old frames are out.

10-year peace of mind

Guarantee is backed by IBG — if the business ever couldn't honour it, an independent insurer would. That's the paperwork that actually matters.

In detail

Frames, glass and options — in detail

uPVC is a category, not a specification. The right window depends on the property, the aspect, and how the room's used.

Profile systems we install

We're VEKA Approved Installers and also fit Profile 22 systems. Both are UK-manufactured, multi-chambered profiles engineered for British weather. Choose flush-sash for period properties, sculptured or chamfered for modern homes.

Glazing options

Standard is Low-E argon-filled double glazing with warm-edge spacers. Upgrades include acoustic laminate for busy roads, obscure patterns (Pilkington range) for bathrooms, and toughened glass where Building Regs require it — near floor level, near doors, above stairs.

Colours & finishes

White, cream, Chartwell green, anthracite grey, black, Irish oak, rosewood and colour-matched RAL foils. Frames can be one colour outside and white inside — common on rear elevations.

Opening styles

Casement (side-hung, top-hung), tilt-and-turn (easier cleaning upstairs, wider egress), sliding sash for period properties, and fixed picture units where you want maximum glass and minimum frame.

Trickle vents & Building Regs

Since June 2022, replacement windows in England and Wales must include background ventilation in most rooms. We specify compliant trickle vents at survey — no surprises on install day.

Domestic vs commercial

For landlords, HMOs and small commercial projects we also specify enhanced-security PAS 24 units and fire-egress opening lights where required. Talk to us about the scope on survey.

Frequently asked

Everything homeowners ask before booking.

How much do uPVC windows cost in Newport?

Cost depends on the number of windows, the size, the glazing spec and any structural work needed to the reveals. We give a fixed, itemised written quote after a free on-site survey — no 'from £' bait pricing.

How long from order to installation?

Typical lead time is 4–6 weeks from the day we receive your 50% deposit, so the frames can be manufactured to your survey dimensions.

How long does a whole-house install take?

Most 6–10 window homes are completed in 1–2 days with our own MTC-certified fitting team. Larger properties or bay windows may run to 3 days.

What guarantee do you provide?

10 years on the uPVC frames and mechanisms, 5 years on the sealed glass units, plus an Insurance-Backed Guarantee (IBG) so the cover holds even in the unlikely event the business couldn't honour it.

Are your installers qualified?

Yes — every fitter on our team is MTC (Minimum Technical Competency) certified, and we're ASSURE registered so every replacement is properly notified for Building Regs.

Do you handle old window disposal?

Yes. We remove and responsibly dispose of every frame we take out. You don't organise a skip and you don't chase a scrap merchant.

Do I need Building Regs approval?

For window replacement, no — our ASSURE registration lets us self-certify the work, and we issue you the compliance certificate on completion.

Can I mix uPVC and aluminium in one project?

Yes — plenty of clients specify uPVC upstairs (cost-effective, warm) and aluminium bi-folds or lanterns on the ground floor (slim sightlines). We survey and quote the whole project together.

Do you offer finance?

No — finance isn't currently offered. Payment is 50% deposit on order and 50% balance on the day of completed installation. All standard payment methods accepted, including credit cards.

Do you service my area?

We install across Newport, Blackwood, Caerphilly, Cwmbran, Pontypool, Ebbw Vale, Tredegar and the wider Gwent valleys. If you're within an hour of our Blackwood workshop, we're likely covering you.
