Double glazing upgrades across East Lancashire
Sound frames and failed glass. The cheaper fix, and often the right one.
What it is
What the job involves
The glazed unit comes out and a new one goes in, leaving your existing frames where they are. It is a fraction of the cost of new windows and it takes a fraction of the time, often under an hour a window. It only works if the frames are genuinely sound, so the first thing we do is tell you honestly whether they are.
Who it suits
Who it is for
Anyone with misted or blown units in frames that are otherwise fine. Misting between the panes means the seal has gone and the unit is doing nothing, but the frame around it may have years left. If the frames are warped, discoloured or no longer closing properly, this is not your answer and we will say so.
The range
What we upgrade to
Sealed units glazed to the same specification as our new windows. Argon filled, and capable of a U value as low as 0.8 W per square metre kelvin on a triple glazed unit, against the 1.6 Building Regulations ask for. Obscured, toughened and laminated where you need them, and the same range of decorative glass as the doors.
Why Win-Door Fit
Why us for upgrades
This is the job where a firm can easily talk you into the more expensive one instead. We would rather do the small job well and be the people you ring when the frames do eventually go. Charlie will look at what you have got and tell you which of the two you actually need, and he has no reason to tell you the wrong one.

Where we cover
Where we work
We are based on Higher Causeway in Barrowford and most of our work lands within half an hour of the door.
Across Pendle that means Nelson, Colne, Brierfield, Barnoldswick and Earby, along with Barrowford itself. In Burnley we cover the town and out to Padiham. The Ribble Valley takes us to Clitheroe, Whalley and Read, where a lot of the housing stock is stone built and needs a sash or flush casement rather than a standard opener.
Westward we work throughout Blackburn with Darwen, and across Hyndburn into Accrington and Great Harwood. Rossendale brings us Rawtenstall and Haslingden.
We also travel south into North Manchester, taking in Rochdale, Bury, Middleton, Heywood and Ramsbottom.
If you are somewhere not on that list but roughly in that circle, ask. We would rather tell you yes or no on the phone than have you wondering.
We do glazing upgrades right across East Lancashire and down into North Manchester. If you are somewhere near the edge of that, ask rather than assume.

Questions
The questions we actually get asked
My windows are misted. Do I need new frames?
Probably not. Misting means the seal on the glazed unit has failed, which is the glass rather than the frame. If the frames still close properly and look right, replacing the units is the cheaper and better answer.
How much cheaper is it than new windows?
Considerably, though it depends how many. It is the difference between replacing the glass and replacing everything, and on a house with sound frames it is not close.
How long does it take?
Often under an hour a window, and most houses are done in a day. Considerably less disruption than a full replacement, and no making good afterwards.
Will it be as good as new windows?
The glazing will be, because it is the same specification. What you do not get is a new frame, so if the frames are the problem this is not the fix.

Real reviews, from real customers, on Google and Facebook.
Can not recommend enough, they did an amazing job fitting 5 new windows into my house in two day I’m so happy with home they look. From old wooden broken down windows to new clean white double glazed sparkling new windows, they are such a nice and friends group and don’t mess around if I ever move house and need more windows I will defiantly be using them again 😁 can not recommend enough

Great service from start to finish. Replaced my old wooden back door with a new PVC unit, and it's made a massive difference. Top quality workmanship. Highly recommend.
