Compare Quotes NowHow Window Replacement Quotes Work in Burford
When you request quotes from window specialists in Burford, most reputable companies will arrange a free home survey before pricing the job. This allows them to measure accurately, assess the existing frames and structure, identify any additional work required and specify the right products. Be wary of companies that quote over the phone without seeing the property — unexpected extras can inflate the final price significantly.
A proper written quote should detail the number and size of windows, frame material, glass specification, hardware, installation costs, removal and disposal of old windows, FENSA registration fee and guarantee terms. This gives you a true like-for-like basis for comparison.
Guarantees on Windows, Frames and Hardware
Quality window installations in Burford come with multiple layers of guarantee. The glass unit typically carries a manufacturer's warranty against seal failure (usually 5–10 years). The frames — uPVC, aluminium or timber — should be covered by a manufacturer or fabricator guarantee. Hardware such as handles, hinges and multipoint locking mechanisms may be warranted separately.
Your Window Specialists should also provide their own workmanship guarantee covering the installation itself. Ask for all guarantee documents in writing before the job begins and keep them in a safe place alongside your FENSA certificate.

FENSA Registration and Compliance Costs for Windows in Burford
When a FENSA or CERTASS registered installer replaces windows in Burford, a registration fee is payable to the competent person scheme to cover the cost of issuing your compliance certificate. This fee is usually modest and is typically included within the installer's quote rather than charged separately — but it is worth confirming this when comparing proposals.
If a window company you are considering is not FENSA or CERTASS registered, you would need to apply to the local authority building control department yourself and pay their associated fees. This route also involves an inspection visit, adding both cost and delay to the project. Using a registered Window Specialists avoids all of this.
Frequently Asked Questions — Guarantees, Deposits and Consumer Rights for Windows in Burford
A comprehensive window installation should come with a manufacturer's warranty on the glass unit (typically 5–10 years against seal failure), a frame guarantee (often 10 years for uPVC, variable for aluminium and timber), a hardware guarantee and a workmanship guarantee from the installer covering the installation itself.
Companies operating under the Consumer Code for Home Improvements provide deposit and guarantee insurance, so your cover continues even if the installer ceases trading. Ask specifically whether the company's guarantee is backed by insurance before signing.
A deposit of 10–25% is typical for window orders where materials are custom manufactured. Never pay more than 25–30% upfront. The balance should be payable on satisfactory completion, not before. Confirm deposit protection before paying anything.
Raise the issue with the installer in writing, detailing the specific defects. If they fail to remedy the problem within a reasonable time, you can escalate to FENSA (for registered installers), the GGF or the relevant consumer code scheme. As a last resort, you have recourse through the courts.
Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, contracts signed at your home give you a 14-day cooling-off period, provided bespoke manufacturing has not begun. Check the contract for any clauses that attempt to waive this right — such clauses are likely unenforceable.
