This directory does not confirm registration. Window and door installers self-certify their work against Building Regulations through a Competent Person Scheme — mainly FENSA or Certass — so check the company name or postcode (BB5 5UW) directly on the FENSA or Certass website before booking, and ask to see the certificate number.

A single uPVC window in Accrington typically runs £300 to £600 supplied and fitted; a full house of 8 to 10 windows is often £3,000 to £8,000 depending on style (casement, bay, sash-look) and glazing spec. Get two or three written, itemised quotes before agreeing to work.

Not much, but not none. Wipe the frames a few times a year, lubricate hinges and locks annually, and keep the drainage channels along the bottom of the frame clear so water can't pool and find its way inside. There is no statutory annual service like a boiler needs.

uPVC frames typically carry a 10 year manufacturer or insurance-backed guarantee, and sealed glazed units are usually guaranteed separately for 5 to 10 years against misting. Register the guarantee after installation and keep the FENSA or Certass certificate — a buyer's solicitor will ask for it if you sell the property.

This directory holds 650 active window and glazing businesses across 38 towns in Lancashire, all from the Companies House register. Accrington accounts for 22. About 32% of Lancashire's registered window and glazing firms were incorporated in the last three years, so weigh incorporation date and FENSA/Certass registration, not just company age.
