Windows and Double Glazing in Reading
Helping homeowners across Reading improve their homes with modern window solutions
Reading is home to everything from Victorian terraces and 1930s semis to new-build estates on the edge of town, and the right windows for one property are rarely the right windows for another. Choosing well is about understanding what suits your home, not just replacing what is already there.
With a range of materials and styles available, it helps to have clear, local advice before settling on a specification.
We supply UPVC, aluminium and timber windows in Reading, in styles including casement, bay and bow and vertical sliding sash. You can also browse the full range of colours and finishes.
Windows and Double Glazing Installers in Reading
We carry out window installations across Reading and the surrounding areas, working on a wide range of property types, from older terraces with existing period features to modern homes where slim, contemporary frames suit the architecture.
Each installation begins with a site survey to assess the openings and identify anything that may affect the fitting, so the new windows are made to suit the property and installed cleanly on the day.
Work is carried out on site by experienced installers, with attention to how each window sits within the opening, how it is sealed, and how it finishes inside and out.

Based in Thatcham, we regularly install windows across Reading and Berkshire, on properties with a range of layouts and access conditions.

Energy Efficient Windows
Energy efficiency is one of the main reasons homeowners replace older windows. Heat loss often occurs through the glass and around the frame, particularly where seals have worn or gaps have formed over time.
Modern double glazed windows are designed to reduce this, helping to retain heat more effectively and improve how rooms feel during colder months.
What Affects Window Performance
- Glazing
Double glazing works by trapping air between two panes of glass. This slows down heat transfer compared to single glazing. In older windows, this layer is often less effective or may have failed over time. - Seals and Fitting
Performance is not just about the glass. Gaps around the frame or poor sealing can allow draughts, which reduces the overall benefit of the window. Accurate fitting plays an important role in how well the window performs. - Frame Condition
Older frames can warp or deteriorate, which can affect how tightly the window closes. Replacing both the frame and glazing can improve how well the opening is sealed. - In Practical Terms
Improving window efficiency can make certain rooms feel easier to heat, especially those that face open areas or receive less sunlight. It can also reduce cold spots near windows, which are common with older installations.
Different window styles and specifications will offer different levels of performance, so it is worth comparing options before deciding what will suit your home.
Choosing New Windows for Your Home
Choosing new windows involves looking at how each opening is used and what will work in that space. The right option will often depend on the layout of the room, access around the window, and the condition of the existing frames.
Style and Layout
Consider how the window will open in relation to the room. In smaller spaces, inward opening windows can be easier to use and clean. In larger openings, splitting the window into sections can make it more practical to operate.
It is also worth checking how nearby walls, furniture, or external paths might affect how far a window can open.
Performance
Heat loss is often more noticeable around older windows, particularly in rooms that face open areas or receive less sunlight. In these cases, improving insulation can make a difference to how the room feels.
The way the window is fitted also plays a part, as gaps around the frame can affect overall performance.
Budget
Costs will vary depending on how many windows are being replaced and how straightforward the installation is. Replacing standard sized windows is usually more straightforward than working with larger openings or unusual shapes.
If you are working to a budget, it can help to prioritise rooms where the windows are in the poorest condition.
Property Type
Some properties need closer attention to existing details. Older homes may have features that need to be matched, while newer properties often allow more flexibility.
It is worth considering how the new windows will sit within the existing openings so the finished result looks in keeping with the property.

The profile includes comments on communication, time on site, and how work areas were left once the installation was complete. This gives you a practical way to assess how window installations are managed before making a decision.
If you are comparing window installers, it is worth reviewing recent feedback to understand the standard of work being delivered.

Certass Approved Installer
Certass approval confirms that our window installations meet current building regulations. This covers how the windows are fitted and how the work is recorded once installation is complete.
For you as a homeowner, this means the installation is registered correctly and you receive certification for the windows once the work is finished. This can be important if you come to sell your property, as it shows the windows were installed in line with regulations.
It also removes the need to arrange separate building control approval, as the installation is self-certified through the scheme.
For landlords and property developers, this provides a clear record that window installations meet the required standards.
Certification is provided after installation and should be kept with your property documents.
Window Costs and Buying Advice
How much do new windows cost? What affects the price, and how do you know what to budget for?
The cost of new windows will vary depending on the property and the type of installation. Looking at a few key factors will give you a clearer idea of what influences the overall price before arranging a survey.
Cost Factors
Number of Windows
The total number of windows being replaced will have a direct impact on cost. Replacing a small number of windows is usually more straightforward, while full property replacements require more time, materials, and planning.
Window Size and Layout
Larger windows or wide openings will generally cost more than standard sizes. Properties with bay windows, multiple openings, or non-standard layouts can also require additional work during installation.
Specification and Glazing
The specification of the window will influence the price. This includes the type of glazing used, as well as any additional features that affect performance or finish.
Condition of Existing Windows
The condition of the current windows and surrounding structure can affect how much preparation is needed. In some cases, extra work may be required before new windows can be fitted.
Access to the Property
Access can influence installation time. Properties with limited access, upper floor work, or restricted external space may require additional planning on site.
Buying Advice
Start with the Right Areas
If you are not replacing all windows at once, it can help to focus on the areas that need attention first, such as rooms that lose heat or are used most often.
Compare Window Styles
Different window styles can vary in cost and function. Looking at how each option works in your home can help you choose a suitable balance between performance and budget.
Arrange a Survey
A site visit allows accurate measurements to be taken and highlights any factors that may affect the installation. This ensures the quote reflects the actual work required.
Costs can vary from one property to another, so arranging a window survey is the most reliable way to get an accurate quote.

We had all of our windows replaced throughout the house as well as our patio doors and front door. Very impressed with the service and the choice available. Also very competitively priced – we got a few local quotes. The website made it very easy to visualise and choose our front door as well. The door in particular has made such a difference to the light coming into the house. Would highly recommend.

Paul and his team did a superb job fitting replacement windows and a new composite front door at our property. The team were on site for a week, the quality of the install was exemplary, and they tidied up after themselves every day. They were a pleasure to have on site and in our house, and nothing was too much trouble for them. We knew that we wanted to go with a local company rather than the more obvious national companies, and we were so glad that we went with Premier. Cost-competitive also.

Paul and his team did a great job (replacing my windows), worked quickly and cleanly and I am very pleased with the results! Will definitely consult Paul again for any future jobs.

Paul and his team demolished an old conservatory and built a large single-story extension plus patio earlier this year. The extension was built to a high standard, and we are very pleased with the final results. Having experienced a number of building projects in various houses over the years, it was important to us to have a regular dialogue on progress, prompt resolution of issues, and to keep us informed when tradesmen would be on-site. Paul was very good in this respect, and furthermore, he and his team were considerate and made a number of helpful suggestions to improve the project. Based on our experience, we would happily engage him for any similar work.

They replaced all the guttering and installed soffits and new fascias… fabulous job, good price and fantastic team! Highly recommended..

Premier Home Improvements fitted a replacement front door with a decorative surround in a Georgian style.
We had to wait a while for the materials to arrive, as seems the case with most things in the post COVID era.
The two men who turned up to do the job were courteous, pleasant and engendered a feeling of confidence. They were timely and worked diligently. When they had completed the work, that was far from straightforward, they left the site clean and tidy.
I would be very happy to have them back should I need further work on the property.
