Replacement windows are new frames and sealed double- or triple-glazed units fitted into your existing openings after the old windows are taken out, improving warmth, security and noise reduction while meeting current building regulations.
Whatever type of house you own in Aldershot, we start by looking at how replacement windows would fit it rather than offering a standard package. We cover GU11 and neighbouring places such as Farnham, Farnborough and Fleet. One named person looks after you from survey to handover, and nothing is booked until you hold our figure in writing, fixed for the work described.

Local housing and replacement windows
Southampton and Portsmouth have dense Victorian terraces, with plenty of post-war rebuilding after wartime bombing. Winchester keeps Georgian and medieval streets, Basingstoke expanded rapidly with 1960s and 1970s estates, and New Forest villages feature cob, thatch and brick. Brick and flint is common on the chalk downs, and new estates ring most towns.
Coastal areas along the Solent face salt and wind, while chalk downland is better drained but exposed; inland clay can move in dry summers.
For replacement windows in Aldershot, this means checking things like wall construction, roof structure and existing services before we put a figure on paper.
Do you need permission in Aldershot?
Each UK nation sets its own consent rules, and Aldershot is in England. What follows is a plain summary; we check the specifics for your property with the council before pricing anything.
Replacing windows and doors on a house is usually permitted development in England when the new ones look broadly similar to the old. Flats, listed buildings and homes covered by an Article 4 direction can need consent, and conservation areas may limit materials or styles.
Replacement windows and external doors must meet Building Regulations for energy efficiency, ventilation and, on upper floors, escape. The work is either self-certified by an installer registered with a competent person scheme or signed off by building control.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
What happens after you get in touch?
Free site survey
We begin by looking at the job in person. During the free survey we discuss options, materials and budget for replacement windows, and photograph or measure anything the quote needs to reflect.
Your fixed price
We turn the survey notes into a written quote. The price is fixed for the specification we agree, and the document sets out materials, scope and payment stages in plain language.
Dates and permissions
Once you accept, we agree start dates, order materials and deal with any planning, building control or neighbour notices the job needs. You'll know who is coming and when before work begins.
The work itself
The job proceeds in the order set out in the programme, with dust and debris kept under control. Finally we tidy away, inspect the work together and pass the finished project over to you with its paperwork.
What you can expect from us
Replacement windows in Aldershot: questions
Do you cover Farnham, Farnborough and Fleet?
Yes. As well as Aldershot, we cover Farnham, Farnborough and Fleet and the rest of Hampshire. Our coverage is UK-wide, so the process is the same wherever you are: a free site survey, a quote in writing that fixes the price for the agreed scope, and one point of contact while the work is planned and carried out.
What happens on the day the windows are fitted?
On fitting day we lay dust sheets, protect floors and furniture near each window, and then remove the old frame carefully to limit damage to plaster. The new frame is fixed, packed, sealed and glazed, and internal trims and external cills are finished. We take away the old windows and clean the glass before leaving. You only need to clear sills and take down curtains and blinds.
What happens at the survey?
We visit your home at a time that suits you, look at the area involved, take measurements and check access, condition and any services that might be affected. We talk through what you want from replacement windows, explain the options and answer questions. There is no charge and no obligation; afterwards we send a written quote.
How long does it take to fit windows in a house?
Fitting replacement windows in a typical 3-bed house usually takes one to two days on site. We take out and fit one window at a time, so each room is weathertight again within an hour or two. Bays, sash windows and homes needing scaffolding take longer. Manufacture comes first: made-to-measure frames typically take a few weeks to arrive after the survey and your order are confirmed.
How do I look after new uPVC or aluminium windows?
Caring for new windows is simple: wash frames and glass with warm soapy water a few times a year, avoiding abrasive cleaners and solvents. Clear the drainage slots at the bottom of the frame so rainwater can escape, and put a drop of light oil on hinges and locking points once a year. Check seals and the sealant around the outside every few years, and replace any that have cracked or shrunk.
