Window and door work Braintree homeowners ask for
Most people call us because of draughts, condensation between the panes, or a front door that no longer locks properly. Sometimes that means new windows — sometimes it just means new glass.
Replacement UPVC windows
A-rated double glazed casement windows in white, woodgrain or anthracite, with multi-point locking, trickle vents where the regs require them and internal glazing beads for security.
Aluminium windows & doors
Slim sightlines, big glass and powder-coated frames in any RAL colour. Ideal on extensions and modern rear elevations where you want the frame to disappear.
Composite front doors
48mm solid-core composite doors on reinforced frames with a three-star cylinder and TS007 hardware — the single biggest kerb-appeal upgrade for the money.
Bi-folds, sliders & French doors
Aluminium bi-folds and slimline patio sliders fitted with the correct threshold, drainage and structural support, including level access if you need it.
Sash & timber windows
Slimline double-glazed timber or heritage UPVC sash windows for period and conservation-area properties, plus cord, box and sill repairs where replacement isn't allowed.
Misted & blown units
If the frames are sound and only the glass has failed, we swap the sealed units rather than sell you a whole window. Usually a fraction of the cost.
Doors that won't lock properly
Dropped hinges, failed multi-point mechanisms, worn gearboxes and loose handles fixed the same visit in most cases.
New openings & structural work
We're builders as well as fitters, so we can cut a new opening, fit the lintel, make good the brickwork and plaster the reveals — one team, one price.
What new windows and doors cost in Braintree
Real numbers for a home in CM7, and the honest version of what's worth paying more for.
Typical window cost
A standard A-rated UPVC casement window supplied and fitted is usually £450–£750 depending on size and opener layout. A full three-bed semi (8–10 windows) typically lands between £4,500 and £7,500.
Door costs
A composite front door fitted is usually £1,200–£2,000, UPVC French doors £1,400–£2,200, and aluminium bi-folds around £1,100–£1,600 per metre depending on colour and glass.
Double vs triple glazing
Triple glazing adds roughly 20–30% to the cost. On most Essex homes A-rated double glazing with a warm-edge spacer gives you nearly all the benefit for far less.
Energy savings
Replacing old single glazing or failed 1990s units typically saves £150–£250 a year on heating for a semi, and stops the condensation and draughts most people actually call us about.
Building Regulations
Replacement windows and doors are notifiable work. Every job we do is registered and you get a compliance certificate for your solicitor when you sell.
Guarantees
10-year insurance-backed guarantee on frames and sealed units, £5m public liability, no deposit taken and payment only when you're happy with the fit.
How a Braintree window install runs
- Step 1
Free measure & survey
We measure every opening, check the lintels, cills and reveals, and talk through frame colour, glass spec and hardware. No sales script and no 'today only' pricing.
- Step 2
Fixed written quote
One clear price per window and door, itemised, including making good and waste removal. Nothing is added later.
- Step 3
Manufacture
Frames are made to your exact sizes — typically 2–3 weeks for UPVC and 4–6 for aluminium or timber. We book the fit date when the glass lands.
- Step 4
Protection & removal
Floors and furniture sheeted, old frames cut out cleanly without wrecking the plaster, and the house made secure at the end of every day.
- Step 5
Fit, level & seal
New frames packed, levelled, mechanically fixed, foamed and sealed inside and out, then the glass and hardware set up and adjusted.
- Step 6
Certificate & handover
We demonstrate the locks and vents, clear every scrap away, and issue your FENSA-equivalent Building Regulations certificate and guarantee paperwork.
Fitting windows in and around Braintree
Properties across Braintree and CM7 run from Victorian sash to 1980s estate casements. These are the things we check before quoting here.
1960s–80s estates
A lot of the Braintree housing stock around CM7 is on its second set of windows — original 1990s UPVC that has gone yellow, dropped on the hinges and blown at the seals. Straight swaps are quick and cheap.
Period and conservation homes
Older Braintree properties often need timber or heritage sash profiles rather than standard casements, and conservation areas restrict what you can fit. We check before quoting, not after.
Essex clay movement
Ground movement on Essex clay racks openings out of square over the years. We measure every opening individually rather than assuming they match.
Coastal exposure
Closer to the coast, salt-laden wind eats cheap hardware and seals. We spec marine-grade or coated furniture on exposed Braintree elevations.
Solid-wall and cavity reveals
Solid-wall houses around Braintree need careful reveal work and correct sealing to avoid cold bridges and draughts. We plaster and make good as part of the job.
Road noise and acoustic glass
Properties on the busier Braintree routes benefit from acoustic laminated glass — a small uplift on price that makes a big difference to the front rooms.
Why use us for windows and doors in Braintree
Builders, not double-glazing salesmen
No four-hour pitch, no inflated 'discount'. You get a measured survey and one honest price per opening.
We can do the building work too
New openings, lintels, brickwork and plastered reveals handled in-house, so nobody blames anyone else when the finish matters.
We'll repair when repair is right
If the frames are sound we'll change the sealed unit or hardware instead of selling you a full replacement.
Certificated and insured
Building Regulations compliance certificate on every install, 10-year insurance-backed guarantee and £5m public liability.
No deposits
You pay when the windows are in, adjusted and cleaned down — never before.

New windows & doors in Braintree — your questions
How much do new windows cost in Braintree?+
A single A-rated UPVC casement window supplied and fitted in Braintree is typically £450–£750 depending on size and how many openers it has. A full house of 8–10 windows usually comes to £4,500–£7,500. Aluminium is around 40–60% more. You get a fixed written price per opening after a free measure, and we take no deposit.
How much is a new front door fitted in Braintree?+
A solid-core composite front door on a reinforced frame, fitted and made good, is usually £1,200–£2,000 in Braintree depending on style, glass and hardware. UPVC French doors run £1,400–£2,200 and aluminium bi-folds are roughly £1,100–£1,600 per metre of opening.
How long does it take to fit windows?+
Most windows take 45–90 minutes each once we're set up, so a typical Braintree semi is done in one to two days. Bi-folds and new openings take longer because of the structural work. Frames are made to measure, so allow 2–3 weeks for UPVC and 4–6 weeks for aluminium or timber between survey and fit.
Do I need Building Regulations approval for new windows?+
Yes — replacement windows and external doors are notifiable work in England. Every install we do is registered and you receive a Building Regulations compliance certificate, which your solicitor will ask for when you sell the house. Work without one can hold up a sale.
Can you just replace the misted glass?+
Very often, yes. If the frames and hardware in your Braintree home are still sound and only the sealed units have blown, we swap the glass instead — usually £90–£180 per unit rather than the price of a new window. We'll tell you honestly which applies.
Is triple glazing worth it in Braintree?+
For most homes in CM7, no. A-rated double glazing with a warm-edge spacer and low-E coating gets you the overwhelming majority of the benefit. Triple glazing makes sense on very exposed elevations, north-facing rooms you use constantly, or new builds aiming at a low heat demand.
Do I need planning permission for new windows?+
Usually not — like-for-like replacement is permitted development. It changes if you're in a conservation area, the property is listed, or you're changing the style or size of an opening. We check the constraints for your Braintree address before quoting.
Will you make good the plaster and brickwork?+
Yes. We're a building company, so the reveals are re-plastered, the outside is pointed and sealed, and any brickwork around a new opening is matched in. You aren't left finding a plasterer afterwards.
How secure are the windows and doors you fit?+
Frames come with multi-point locking, internally beaded glass and three-star anti-snap cylinders on doors as standard, meeting Secured by Design and PAS 24 requirements. It's also what most insurers want to see.
Do you cover the villages around Braintree?+
Yes — we cover Braintree and the whole of CM7, including Bocking, Black Notley, Great Notley, Cressing, plus the rest of Essex and south Suffolk from our Colchester base. Surveys are free with no obligation.
