Expert Timber Installations Ltd

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 (PR2 2DX) directly on the FENSA or Certass website before booking, and ask to see the certificate number.

A single uPVC window in Preston 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 here. This is a register-based directory, not a review site. Look at independent review platforms, ask the installer for recent local references, and confirm FENSA or Certass registration before any work starts.

It's proof the window or door installation meets Building Regulations (thermal performance, safety glazing, ventilation) without a separate council building control sign-off. Without one, selling the property can mean paying for retrospective building control inspection or indemnity insurance, so keep the certificate with your house documents.

This directory holds 650 active window and glazing businesses across 38 towns in Lancashire, all from the Companies House register. Preston accounts for 166, among the county's busiest. 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.
