Windows And Doors For New Extension In Woking, Surrey
Our customer was having a large extension built and they wanted new windows and French Doors to match their existing windows.
They have an older property and it was important to them to create a consistent overall look.
We supplied and installed seven windows and two pairs of French Doors. All were white powder-coated aluminium in finish.
The windows at the front of the property were installed into white painted hardwood subframes.
And the windows and French Doors to the rear of the property were installed directly into the brickwork.
All the windows were glazed with top specification glass sealed units with 18mm white Georgian Bars.
Rear Dormer and En-suite uPVC windows, Surrey
This new loft conversion was carried out by House of Building who are based in Reigate in Surrey.
We supplied and installed rear dormer with one window for the new master bedroom and one window in a new en-suite bathroom.
The customer wanted the new uPVC windows to look similar and in keeping with the vertical sliding windows in the rest of the property.
The new uPVC windows were split horizontally halfway down, with only the top half opening.
The new windows were white uPVC Liniar profile A-rated, with fully sculptured suite and surface mounted Georgian Bars.
Replacement uPVC Coloured Woodgrain Door, Surrey
The existing front door at this property was single glazed and was draughty, cold and was not very secure.
The property was a turn of the century and the brick opening was very small. The customer wanted something similar to the original door which was painted blue.
Unfortunately, GRP fibreglass front doors are not available in such small door widths so a coloured woodgrain uPVC door was the only option.
We supplied and installed a blue woodgrain uPVC front door with chrome handles and a white uPVC outer frame.
New Secure and Low Maintenance Door For Victorian House, Reigate
The existing door was a modern GRP composite door installed about 11 years ago. The door was installed badly to start with and our customers had always had problems with it.
The locking mechanism had broken and needed replacing so the customer decided to put the money towards a new, more secure and easy to maintain, front door.
The end of terrace Victorian property was fitted with a black GRP composite front door with fixed top light glazed with sandblasted (satin) glass. The fixtures of ponytail knocker, letterbox the number 1 and handle are all in a chrome finish.
The customer’s comments:
“We are very pleased with our new front door.”
Replacing Windows and French Doors in Surrey
This property in Caterham in Surrey had existing upstairs rear windows which were single glazed, vertical sliding, white painted in softwood timber.
The existing upstairs French Doors with a balcony were single glazed, white painted softwood. The existing windows and french doors provided little insulation in winter, suffered from bad condensation and had started to rot.
We replaced four windows with white microporous painted hardwood frames. The windows are double glazed, vertical sliding counterbalanced with spiral balances and surface mounted Georgian Bars.
The French Doors are hung from standard butt hinges and have a multi-point locking system and also have matching surface mounted Georgian Bars.
High Quality, Thermally Efficient, Secure Windows And Doors For Garage Conversion, Surrey
Our customer who lives in Reigate, Surrey had been granted planning permission to convert her garage into an office for her accountancy business.
She wanted high quality, thermally efficient, secure windows and doors with minimal maintenance.
It was also specified to make sure the front door opened outwards to maximise the useable internal floor space in her new office.
We supplied three white, Liniar profile, A-rated, double glazed, uPVC windows with chamfered framing and beading and a brown darkwood GRP composite front door, with white uPVC outer frame glazed with clear toughened glass.
The outer frame glazing helped to maximise light in the office and the toughened glass gave extra peace of mind and security.
The customer was extremely pleased with the finished result:
“I would like to say a big thank you to the boys. They were quick, efficient, professional, tidy and clean. They have done a wonderful job.
The finishing of the door and the windows look really good.
Even the 12 bricks are matching to the existing brick work which makes another difference.
Thank you for a fantastic job done! I am very, very pleased.”
White Liniar uPVC Front Door Upgrade, Surrey
The existing uPVC door at a property in Westcott, Surrey was over 15 years old and had been damaged in places.
The locking mechanism had broken and we were unable to source a replacement.
We supplied and fitted a white Liniar uPVC front door in white with bevelled framing and beading.
The letterbox and pad/lever handle were both in chrome, and the door had Mayflower obscured toughened glass. It also has a sidelight with opening fanlight and a 2000 trickle vent.
Warm, Secure and Low Maintenance Windows in Dorking
The existing windows in this detached house in Dorking, Surrey were softwood, they hadn’t rotted (yet!) but they needed painting.
The windows were glazed with very thin double glazed sealed units which had started to mist up.
Our customer wanted warmer, more secure windows with much less maintenance!
We supplied and fitted nine windows with white Liniar A-rated, double glazed, uPVC windows with dummy casements for equal sight lines and large head frame with 4000 trickle vents.
Keeping Period Property Character with A uPVC Door in Surrey.
The customer in Brockham, Surrey had an old timber entrance porch which was single glazed and unfortunately, it had started to rot. It also leaked in places. Not an ideal situation.
We supplied and fitted new white uPVC, double glazed windows, a uPVC door and roof frames with black uPVC trims to imitate the original black painted timber posts.
It can put some customers off if they have a character or period property when considering using uPVC, as they feel it will spoil the look of their property.
But there are so many uPVC window and door options we can recommend, in terms of glass, window and door furniture and finishing touches – that can look as if they are the original hardwood alternatives but without the heat loss and high maintenance!
Opening up the room with French Doors, Dorking.
Our customer was having a new kitchen fitted but wanted to change the layout by having French Doors opening directly onto her patio.
A common desire to open out your kitchen into your outdoor space and make the most of your garden!
The brickwork was ground out below the existing window and the window was removed. We then installed the new uPVC French Doors, sinking the cill and threshold as low as possible into the floor to reduce the step height.
The white Swiftframe double glazed, uPVC French doors had bevelled framing and beading with internal 18mm white Georgian Bars and white handles.
We made good the external render and the customer had booked a plasterer to make good the inside next to the doors.
