Windows, doors, rooflights and conservatories in Harefield

Yes. Harefield is well within our regular working area. We're based in Iver — roughly 4 miles from the village centre — and cover the whole of UB9 including Harefield village, South Harefield, Newyears Green and the surrounding lanes. We can usually arrange a home visit within a few days of you getting in touch.

It may do, depending on your property's location within the conservation area and the nature of the change. Conservation area designation restricts certain permitted development rights — particularly for alterations to the front elevation or changes that would affect the character of the building. In practice, a like-for-like replacement in a matching style, material and colour usually proceeds without a planning application. We establish what applies to your specific property during the home visit. If a prior approval or planning application is required, we advise on what it involves. Harefield also has a small number of Grade II listed properties around the church, which are subject to listed building consent rather than conservation area rules — we flag this if relevant.

For most Harefield properties outside the conservation area boundary, like-for-like window and door replacement falls under permitted development rights and does not require a planning application. Within the conservation area, the position is more nuanced — see the question above. For listed buildings, all changes to windows and doors require listed building consent regardless of whether they are like-for-like. We check what applies to your property as part of the home visit.

For period cottages and Edwardian properties, a flush casement window — where the sash sits flush with the outer face of the frame — typically reads better from the street than a standard casement where the sash sits proud. For properties with original vertical sliding windows, a uPVC vertical slider is the most common replacement and retains the proportions of the original opening. We also fit authentic box sash windows where the character of the property warrants it. We bring samples to every home visit so you can assess the options against your actual property before committing.

Yes. Every window and door installation we complete is FENSA registered and certified to current building regulations. The registration is handled automatically — you receive the documentation, which is what solicitors ask for when you come to sell your home. You don't need to chase it or arrange it yourself.

10 years as standard, covering frames and sealed glazing units. Combined with FENSA registration and our full public liability insurance, you're protected throughout the installation and long after it's complete.

Yes to both. Rooflights — flat-roof inserts and pitched roof lanterns — are a regular part of our work in Harefield, particularly on the bungalows and rear extensions that are common throughout the village. For conservatories, we supply and fit the glazing elements: the roof system, windows, doors and glazed panels. The structural work (foundations, brickwork, frame) is carried out by your builder — we work alongside them to ensure our glazing installation fits precisely.
