Window Fitter in Crawley

Faron Home Improvements is a family-run window fitter in Crawley. We fit made-to-measure windows in homes across the town and the surrounding villages. We have traded since 2019, and our team has more than 75 years of combined experience. This page explains how a Faron fitting works. It also covers what FENSA certification means for you and what to expect from the first call to the final tidy-up.

What Does a Window Fitter in Crawley Do?

A window fitter does far more than push a frame into a hole. We check the opening first. Then we remove the old frames without damaging your walls. Finally, we seal, finish and certify the work. A poorly fitted window can let in draughts and damp, even when the frame is excellent. So the fitting matters as much as the product. That is why we treat fitting as a skilled trade in its own right.

How We Fit Windows, Step by Step

First, we visit your home. We look at your existing windows, check the frames and openings, and talk through the styles, colours and glass you want. The quote is free. Next, we take accurate measurements, because every window we supply suits your exact openings. Once the windows are ready, we agree a fitting date with you.

On the day, we remove the old frames and prepare the openings. Then we fit the new frames so they sit square and level. After that, we seal and trim around each frame and fit the handles and locks. We also clear away the old windows and packaging. Finally, we register the installation so you receive your FENSA certificate.

FENSA Certification and Building Regulations

Building Regulations cover window replacement in England. They set standards for energy efficiency, ventilation and safety. A FENSA-registered installer can certify that the work complies, so you do not need a separate building control application. Faron is FENSA registered. Once we register your installation, you receive a certificate.

Keep that certificate safe. A buyer’s solicitor will usually ask for it when you sell your home. If a company cannot show you FENSA or an equivalent registration, ask why before you sign anything.

Our double glazing in Crawley page covers those in detail. This page focuses on the fitting itself.

Fitting Windows Across Crawley’s Neighbourhoods

Crawley became a new town in 1947, and it has a collection of neighbourhoods around the town centre. The housing changes a lot from one area to the next. In Ifield, Tilgate, Furnace Green, Southgate and Pound Hill, many homes date from the 1950s to the 1970s. Some still have their original frames or early replacements. Newer estates such as Maidenbower came later, so the windows are often younger. A survey tells us whether a full replacement or a repair makes sense.

We fit windows across all of these areas. We also work in Three Bridges, Langley Green, Broadfield, Bewbush, Northgate, West Green and Gossops Green. Nearby, we cover Crawley Down, Copthorne and Lowfield Heath.

Replacement or Repair: Choosing the Right Fix

Not every problem needs a whole new window. Misted double glazing usually means the sealed unit has failed. A new glass unit can cure it if the frame is still sound. Stiff handles or worn hinges may only need new hardware. A full replacement makes sense when frames warp, rot or crack, or when draughts creep in around the edges. We assess each window on its merits. Then we tell you which route we recommend, so you only pay for what your home needs.

Conservation Areas, Listed Buildings and Planning

Most replacement windows in Crawley do not need planning permission, but there are exceptions. Properties in a conservation area, such as parts of Crawley Old Town and Ifield Village, may face restrictions. Listed buildings need listed building consent for changes to windows. Crawley Borough Council publishes guidance on design and conservation. Check it before you order if you are unsure. We can also talk you through your options at the survey.
