Windows are an integral part of any building, providing natural light, ventilation, and insulation. However, over time, they can deteriorate, causing a range of issues, from drafts and energy loss to aesthetic problems. If your windows are showing signs of wear and tear, now is the time to consider booking window renovation work. In this blog, we’ll explore why.
As we’re moving into spring, many of us are glad that the days are starting to get longer and the weather is beginning to pick up. Whilst this is a grateful reprieve from the harshness of winter, it’s also a time that people forget about their home renovation work. Booking work to be completed in the winter may be a cheaper option, but setbacks can occur due to the poorer weather conditions. In addition, you have to prepare yourself for an increase in heating bills in the run up to the work being undertaken.
Spring is the perfect time to book in work as the weather tends to be drier and more temperate. This means your home isn’t uncomfortably cold whilst work is being undertaken on restoring your windows. It’s also more energy efficient, as you won’t have to be spending a fortune to heat your home once the tradesmen have left.
As with most trades, there is usually a lead time for work to be completed. Booking in work now means: 1. You have more control over when work can be completed as and 2. You can guarantee that work will be completed before the cooler weather descends once again.
It’s always prudent to speak to any companies you wish to work with to see what their lead time is well in advance of when you want/need the work completed. Forward planning means more opportunities for the work to be done in a timescale which suits you.
One of the most significant benefits of upgrading your windows is the increase in energy efficiency. Old, worn-out windows can let in drafts, allowing heat to escape in the winter and cool air in the summer. By replacing them with new, energy-efficient windows, you can reduce your energy bills and help the environment.
Old windows can look dated and unsightly, detracting from the overall appearance of your property. By renovating them, you can give your home or business a fresh, updated look. This not only adds kerb appeal, but can increase your home’s value. This is especially important if you’re looking to sell in the next few years.
Planning any renovation work to your home well in advance is always the most prudent approach to take. This means you are able to work with your preferred contractor. Many companies have lead times which means you won’t be able to get the work completed in an incredibly short notice period.

Thank you so much for all your help with the design process. We felt very well supported with this major purchase. You guided us sensitively and listened to what we wanted. And now we have our design and are very happy indeed
Mr & Mrs Robinson, Stockton
All staff I met were very professional from office to the 4 installers not forgetting the man who did the survey. I have had lots of compliments from friends and family. Thank you for the attention to detail and the efficiency of the work carried out.
Mrs B, Norton, Stockton on Tees
My wife and I are delighted with the work you carried out on the windows. You completed the work most efficiently, to our agreed time scale. Your dealings with us from initial enquiry to completion, were first class. I would most certainly have no hesitation in recommending your firm to others, and will be in touch in late spring to initiate further work – on our upstairs front windows.
Mr C, Middlesbrough
I remember visiting your showroom and saying that I wish my windows could be as good as the ones on your display and they are! I am absolutely delighted with them. They have transformed the front of my house. All installation staff involved were extremely polite and professional in their approach. They treated my home with respect and ensured that they cleaned thoroughly after. Please pass on my thanks to them for the quality of work they have done. It has been much admired by so many people, so I will not hesitate to recommend your firm in the future.
Mrs R, Stokesley
