Double Glazing in Gillingham, Dorset
Gillingham is our nearest town, just a few miles from our base in Shaftesbury, and we fit windows here more than almost anywhere else. The town has grown quickly over the past thirty years, and many of the homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s are still on their original double glazing. Misted units, dropped sashes and worn hinges are common, and the frames are far less efficient than a modern window.
Alongside the newer estates, the Victorian and Edwardian houses near the station and the High Street need windows that suit their age. Kenny surveys every job himself and gives honest advice on what is worth replacing, and every window is fitted by our own team.
Just four miles from our base, Gillingham is about as local as it gets for us. The railway-era brick terraces and villas near the centre often have double glazing that is now a generation old, with misted units and frames that have yellowed. The newer developments around the town are younger, though failed seals and draughty doors are not unusual there either. In Milton on Stour and Motcombe, the stone cottages need a more traditional window, and where a property is in a conservation area Kenny will tell you whether Dorset Council consent may be needed.
Is Your 1990s Double Glazing Due for Replacing?
Double glazing from twenty or thirty years ago was a big step up at the time, but it was not built to today’s standards. If your windows have misted between the panes, let in draughts around the edges, are hard to open or no longer lock securely, it is usually time to look at replacing them.
New windows will be warmer, more secure and easier to live with, and Kenny will tell you honestly if yours still have life left in them.
Most Gillingham homes suit our casement windows, and we also replace a lot of bay windows in the town. Recent work includes old box sash windows replaced with casements, a bay window replacement in Gillingham and timber-look flush casements in nearby Motcombe.

Double Glazing in Gillingham: Your Questions Answered
Do you cover Gillingham and the villages around it?
Yes. Gillingham is just a few miles from our base, and we cover the whole town along with Milton on Stour, Wyke, Bourton, Motcombe, Kington Magna and East Stour.
My double glazing has misted up. Do I need new windows?
Not always. Mist or condensation between the panes means the seal on the glass unit has failed. If the frames are still in good condition, new glass units can sometimes be enough. If the frames are old or draughty, or the locks are worn, new windows are usually better value. Kenny will look at them and tell you honestly which makes more sense.
Do new windows need Building Regulations approval?
Replacement windows must meet Building Regulations. We are FENSA registered, so we certify the work ourselves and you receive a FENSA certificate once the installation is complete. You will need it if you ever sell your home.
What guarantee do your windows come with?
Frames and sealed glass units are guaranteed for 10 years, hardware for 2 years and our workmanship for 10 years, all backed by an insurance-backed guarantee through HomePro.
How much does double glazing cost?
It depends on the number and size of the windows, the style, the colour and the glass. Every window is made to measure, so the only way to give an accurate price is to survey your home. The survey and quote are free, and we are rarely beaten on price for a genuine like-for-like quotation.
