What this service covers.
There are two different jobs people call a window replacement. One is a new sealed unit into a frame that is still sound, which is the cheap fix. The other is replacing the frame and the glass together, which is what uPVC replacement means. The measure tells us which one you actually need, and we will say if it is the cheaper one.
uPVC frames do not need painting, do not rot, and carry a modern double-glazed unit with a proper thermal break. We supply and fit them, and we take the old frames away.
The frame stops being the maintenance job.
-
Nothing to repaint
The colour runs through the frame rather than sitting on it, so there is no repainting cycle and no rot at the sill where water sits.
-
A real thermal break
A modern uPVC frame and a double-glazed unit work as one system, which is what actually stops the draught and the condensation, rather than new glass in an old frame.
-
Measured to your opening
Frames are made to the opening we measure, so they are not packed out with foam and trim to cover a size that did not fit.
-
We take the old ones away
Removal and disposal of the old frames and glass is included, and the opening is made good and sealed before we leave.
From draughty opening to sealed and finished.
Our designer measures and draws up your job, the glass is made to those measurements by trusted local glass manufacturers such as Garibaldi Glass, and one of our own installation teams fits it.

What clients said after we finished.
Very professional from the office staff to the installation technicians. Clean workmanship and excellent after sale service !
I had a great experience with Alpha Glass. They were quick to respond, very professional, and did a great job! I would highly recommend.
Great service. Quick email response. Even though he didn’t have the part I was looking for, he let me know where I can find. Future business with them for sure!!
Common questions about window replacement.
Something not covered here? Call +1-778-69-ALPHA (25742) or send us a photo of the job.
My window is foggy between the panes. Do I need a whole new window?
Probably not. That fog means the sealed unit has failed, and if the frame and hardware are sound a new unit goes into your existing frame in an hour or two for a fraction of the cost. We will tell you which it is at the measure rather than quoting the bigger job by default.
How long does a house of windows take?
Most openings take an hour or two each once the frames are made, so a typical house is one to three days on site. The lead time that matters is manufacturing, which starts once you accept the quote, and we confirm that date in writing first.
Will the inside need redecorating afterwards?
There is usually some making good around the reveal, and we do that as part of the fit. If your openings are plastered right up to the frame we will warn you at the measure, because that is the case where a decorator may be needed after us.
