Prices are indicative. Access, the condition of the existing frames and the fitting itself all move the final figure. Your quotation is the accurate number, and it is free.
Your payment can be spread monthly over a term of up to 10 years.** Finance is provided by Dopple and you apply through our finance portal. A small deposit is due on order, the balance on completion.

Glass manufacturing is heavily energy dependent, so our costs move with energy prices. Rather than pad every quotation against a rise that may not happen, we quote the real number on the day. If it lapses, come back whenever you are ready and we will requote free of charge.
You want the largest openings. Aluminium takes spans uPVC cannot, which is why it suits modern extensions and full height glazing.
You want the slimmest sightlines available. Classic starts from 59mm, Prestige from 88mm, both slimmer than any of our uPVC frames.
You want proven security. Both Classic and Prestige carry PAS24:2016 as standard, the enhanced security accreditation Building Regulations require on new homes, and Prestige’s fully enclosed case design stops the glazing and beading being accessed from outside at all.
You want a colour to match your house exactly. White Gloss, Anthracite Grey Matt, Black Matt, or any RAL colour, including dual colour finishes with a different shade inside and out.
Both Sheerline Classic and Prestige carry PAS24:2016, the enhanced security accreditation Building Regulations require on new homes, as standard rather than as an option.
Tell your surveyor if security is a priority and we will specify accordingly.

Three things usually decide it: how slim you want the frame, how much you want to spend, and how much upkeep you are willing to do.
| Slimline uPVC | Standard uPVC | Aluminium | |
|---|---|---|---|
| From, per window | £900 | £900 | £1,580 |
| Energy rating | A+ | A | A |
| U-value | 1.2 | 1.2 | 1.3 to 1.4 |
| Frame depth | 63mm | 70mm | From 64mm |
| Glass area | 12% more | Baseline | Most |
| Largest openers | 700 x 1500mm | Larger | Largest |
| Flush casement | No | Yes | Yes |
Aluminium takes the biggest spans and the slimmest sightlines, though it is not the warmer option: Slimline is 1.2 against 1.3 to 1.4 for aluminium.

‘Stepped’ takes its cue from traditional steel windows and gives an even slimmer look. ‘Contemporary’ is a modern, minimalist take. Both are available in a standard outer frame or a flush option, which brings the frame and the opening sash together perfectly in line.
Dual colour finishes are available, a different colour inside and out.

“Fabulous service. Really pleased. We had the front door lock repaired, 2 sets of French doors realigned & the seals replaced, as well as new hinges on 2 windows & a new double glazed unit in one window. Nick was punctual, polite & did a fantastic job. All work was carried out to a very high standard & our doors look good as new. Would definitely use Sheerwater Glass again.”

The insurance backed part matters: your cover survives even if we are not here to honour it, and we provide it even on installations that do not qualify for FENSA. Most local companies do not.

Classic gives you a 59mm sightline and a U-value as low as 1.4. Prestige goes further, with an 88mm sightline, a U-value as low as 1.3 double glazed or 0.9 triple glazed, and a fully enclosed case for extra security.
Yes. Both Classic and Prestige carry PAS24:2016, the enhanced security accreditation Building Regulations require on new homes, as standard.
Usually not, but you might if your house is listed or sits in a conservation area, and there are around 200 of those in Surrey. We will flag it at survey if we think you are affected.
Yes, automatically, on every installation that qualifies. You will need it when you sell the house.
Your guarantee covers you: 10 years on frames, glass units and workmanship, 5 years on moving parts and hardware, backed by insurance that survives even if we are not here to honour it.
Yes. We supply only if you are arranging your own fitting.
You’ll speak to a real person, not a call centre. We’ll talk you through options, no pressure.
