Glazing services
Glazing work across Bedford and Bedfordshire
Conservatory roofs are the bulk of what we do, but a glazing business that cannot change a blown unit or hang a door is not much use to anybody. Here is the rest of it.
The sealed unit gets replaced, not the window. Usually far cheaper than people expect. uPVC and composite replacements, measured, fitted and certified properly. Guttering, seals, tired frames and finishing work around a new roof.Misted & blown units

Replacing failed double glazing
When a sealed unit fails, the seal around the edge lets moisture in between the two panes. You get condensation on the inside of the glass that no amount of wiping touches, and over time a permanent cloudy bloom or a tidemark.
The frame is almost always fine. It is the glass unit inside it that has gone, and that is the bit we replace — which is why this job usually costs a fraction of what people assume when they first notice it and start pricing new windows.
We measure the unit, order the glass to match, and swap it over. Toughened, laminated, obscure, Georgian bar, leaded — whatever is in there now can be matched.
- The existing frame stays, whatever it is made of.
- An opportunity to upgrade to a better-performing unit while it is out.
- Worth doing before you sell — misted glass is the first thing a buyer points at.

Windows & doors
Replacement windows and doors
uPVC and composite, supplied and fitted. We measure on site rather than working from your numbers, because a window ordered to the wrong size is an expensive piece of plastic and a long wait.
Replacing windows and doors is notifiable work under the Building Regulations. That means it either goes through a competent-person scheme or through a building notice with the council. It is not optional, and the paperwork matters when you come to sell — so we handle that side rather than leaving it with you.
- Surveyed and measured in person before anything is ordered.
- Certification handled, so your paperwork is in order at resale.
- Old frames taken away and disposed of.
Conservatory refurbishment
The rest of the conservatory
A roof is rarely the only thing that has aged. Once we are up there we tend to find guttering that has given up, seals that have perished, and trims that have gone chalky in the sun.
We will tell you what genuinely needs doing and what can wait. Some of it is worth doing while the access is already there and the roof is off; some of it is fine for another five years and we will say so.
- Guttering, downpipes and leaking box gutters.
- Perished seals, failed trims and draughty frames.
- Replacement glass roof panels where a full insulated roof is not wanted.
- Internal finishing once a new roof is in — plastering, downlights, decorating.
