Different Companies have given me different advice on Building Regulations, especially on the need for structural supports. Who is correct?

For an independent view, speak to the Building Control of your Local Council or email FENSA.

See FENSA’s FAQs to find out the Building Regulations that are a legal requirement when replacing windows and doors (with fines for those who ignore these rules and future house sales at risk if improperly completed).

What do I do if I experience a problem some time after my products are installed?

Contact our Service Dept. to arrange a service call. They will have your details along with the products we have installed.

Abbey are FENSA registered, a self-regulating scheme. Our work is regularly vetted and checked and we organise a free certificate once your order is complete.

How long does it take to complete my order?

We normally work to a six-week lead time (but on occasion could be shortened) and as a guide, a team will usually fit two doors or four/five windows a day. Some purpose made products can take longer to obtain so speak to us a quickly as possible to help avoid any delay. Not every enquiry is the same, so our estimator will be able to give you a better indication.

Do you subcontract the fitting?

No, generally we use our own staff who work for us on a full time basis. Some specialist trades such as electricians or heating engineers may be brought in for specific jobs.

Is my price fixed?

All online prices from our online quote engine are a guide price only and subject to change after a site visit or technical survey. An estimate is an indication of price, whilst any quotation we give based upon an actual site visit is fixed and will cover all products and services we detail.

Windows

What are Window Energy Ratings?

They are a way of monitoring the efficiency of doors, windows and conservatories to ensure maximum quality standards are being met. It is led by the independent BFRC, who rate double glazed windows from A+ to E – our windows rank A+12 on the scale.

What materials should I choose for my windows?

It depends on what benefits you are looking for to improve your home; uPVC is excellent at thermal efficiency with low maintenance, aluminium is great for contemporary homes looking for a modern appearance, and timber provides strong insulation with a traditional style.

How do I know if I need to upgrade to double glazing?

If there are visible damages (cracks, rotting frames ect), condensation inside the windows, difficulties opening or closing them, or higher energy bills, then these would be signs that an upgrade may be due. If you notice any of these problems, it is our advice to replace them at your earliest convenience in order to save you both comfort and money. 

What types of windows can I order?

Our range of different types of windows include uPVC, aluminum, timber, and many more listed on our website. If you would like a preview of what we offer, you can book an appointment and pop down to our showroom, or if preferred, we have a VR showroom where you can look at our windows from the comfort of your home.

What benefits does double glazing offer?

Double glazing places gas in between the two panels which prevents cold air from entering the home, reducing energy bill costs by a potential £70 per year. Furthermore, it provides soundproofing, with reduced condensation (provided there is sufficient ventilation in your home).
