Top-Quality Double Glazing in Crawley – Built to Last
Looking for double glazing Crawley homeowners can trust?

Established in 2019, we are a family-run team with over 75 years of combined experience in the trade.
Double glazing keeps heat in because two panes of glass with a sealed gap slow heat loss through the window. As a result, rooms stay warmer, condensation is reduced and noise from outside is cut. It also gives your home a cleaner, more modern look, so the upgrade pays off all year round.
We are a FENSA-registered team, which means replacement windows are certified against the Building Regulations. You can read the official government guidance on this, or call us and we will explain it in plain English.

What Are the Benefits of Double Glazing?
Double glazing is not just about keeping your home warm, it is also about efficiency. First, two layers of glass trap heat while minimising energy loss, so your heating does not have to work as hard. In addition, it reduces interior condensation and protects your furniture from UV fading. Finally, it is a real upgrade for your home’s overall look.
How Does Double Glazing Improve Energy Efficiency in Crawley Homes?
A modern double glazed unit uses two panes of glass separated by a sealed cavity, usually filled with argon gas, and a low-emissivity coating that reflects heat back into the room. Together these slow heat loss through the window, which is one of the weakest points in a typical Crawley house. The result is a warmer home, fewer cold spots and less strain on your heating, which matters when energy prices stay high. Good glazing also helps your home hold its value, because buyers and surveyors look closely at the condition of the windows.
What Does Part L of the Building Regulations Mean for New Windows?
Part L of the Building Regulations covers the conservation of fuel and power, and it sets minimum energy performance standards for replacement windows in England. Every new window we fit is chosen to meet those standards. Because we are a FENSA-registered installer, we can self-certify the work, so you do not need to apply separately to Crawley Borough Council building control. You receive a FENSA certificate once the installation is registered, and you should keep it with your house documents. Read more about your FENSA certificate in Crawley.
Does Gatwick Noise Affect Double Glazing in Crawley?
Crawley sits right beside Gatwick Airport, so many homeowners notice aircraft noise as well as draughts. Standard double glazing does reduce sound, but you can improve it further with laminated glass, which has a layer of acoustic film between two panes, or with panes of different thicknesses that block a wider range of frequencies. Good seals matter just as much as the glass, because noise leaks through any gap around the frame. If aircraft noise bothers you, tell us when you ask for your free quote and we will talk through the options for your home. Read our full guide to soundproof double glazing in Crawley.

Which Double Glazing Styles Can You Choose?
Most Crawley homes suit uPVC frames, which need very little upkeep and come in white and a range of colours, including grey. Common window styles include casement windows that open outwards on hinges, tilt and turn windows that are easy to clean, and bay windows that add light and space to a front room. We can talk you through what suits your property, its age and its street, so your new windows look right as well as perform well. For the full range of frames, colours and hardware, read our guide to uPVC windows in Crawley.
Which Parts of Crawley Do We Cover for Double Glazing?
We fit double glazing across Crawley, including Three Bridges, Ifield, Southgate, Pound Hill, Tilgate, Furnace Green, Langley Green, Broadfield, Maidenbower, Bewbush and Gossops Green, as well as the town centre and nearby villages. Housing here ranges from 1950s new town homes to modern estates, so we measure every property individually and make the windows to fit.
How Do You Choose a Double Glazing Installer in Crawley?
Start by checking that the company is registered with FENSA, and ask for the certificate once the work is finished. Get a written quote that lists the glass, frames and fitting, and ask what guarantees are included and for how long. Ask who will fit your windows and whether they will survey your home first. Read recent customer reviews, and compare at least two quotes so you understand exactly what you are paying for.
When Should You Replace Your Double Glazing?
Persistent condensation or mist between the panes is the clearest sign that a sealed unit has failed. Other signs include draughts around the frame, windows that are stiff to open or close, rising heating bills and more outside noise than you would expect. A failed unit can often be replaced without changing the whole frame, so it is worth getting a survey before you assume you need complete new windows.
How Long Does Double Glazing Installation Take?
The time depends on how many windows you are replacing and how large they are. A single window is a short job, while a whole house takes longer. After your free survey and quote, we agree the dates with you so you know when to expect us and can plan around the work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get a FENSA certificate?
Yes. We are a FENSA-registered team, so we register your new windows and you receive a certificate confirming the work meets the Building Regulations. Keep it safe, because a buyer’s solicitor will usually ask for it when you sell.
Do I need permission to replace windows in a conservation area?
Possibly. In a conservation area you may need planning permission, especially where an Article 4 direction removes permitted development rights, and listed buildings need listed building consent. Check with Crawley Borough Council before you order, and talk to us about what you have in mind.
What if a sealed unit mists up?
Misting between the panes means the seal has failed and moisture has got into the gap. It will not clear on its own, but the fix is usually to replace the glass unit rather than the whole window. Get in touch and we will advise on the best option.
Can double glazing reduce Gatwick aircraft noise?
It can help. Laminated glass, different glass thicknesses on each side of the unit and a wider gap between the panes all cut noise more than a standard sealed unit. Ask us about the options for your home.
What guarantee do I get on new windows?
We offer a 10-year suppliers’ guarantee on the windows we fit, plus a 1-year workmanship guarantee as standard, and we acknowledge the manufacturers’ own warranties. Your FENSA certificate also confirms that our warranty is insured.
