The Window Man

I have worked in the window trade for over twenty years as an independent service engineer and installer, on all makes and types of window, in South East Essex. I write the guides on this site and I keep the price data up to date. Each price is compiled from published UK sources, cited on the page it supports and reviewed on the date shown in its byline.

The guides are written from what turns up on a real job and on a real quote: what the window or the sealed unit is, where the money goes, which lines change once the work starts, and what to ask before you sign.

What these pages are, and are not

They are independent guidance for homeowners, not an installer's sales pitch. I do not work for a manufacturer or a national brand. Where a guide states a rule, such as one on VAT or the Building Regulations, the figure comes from its primary source and the page links to it. If you are relying on it, follow the link.

I only fit windows in South East Essex, so for work anywhere else this site cannot be a substitute for a local firm. The quote service on it passes your details to installers who cover your postcode.

If a price is wrong

If a price on this site does not match what you have been quoted, use the report a price form. It comes straight to us and it is the main way these figures get corrected.
