Frequently Asked Questions

We install an array of windows and doors. All of which are available in a wide selection of materials and styles.

Some of the window styles we provide include casement, sash, mock sash, tilt & turn, Georgian, leaded and our exclusive Slimline range. Our range of door styles include entrance & front, bi-folding, sliding patio, French and stable doors.

You can view each style of window and door on our website, or by dropping into our Woking showroom.

Our windows, doors, conservatories and more are all expertly fitted by our experienced Glaziers, to match your exact requirements.

Our fully trained glaziers install windows and doors with as little disturbance to your home as possible. In fact, our fitters are very often complimented on the minimal disturbance caused during installation.

No, there’s no need for you to vacate your home whilst the team installs your windows or doors.

We offer a great range of products and services here at Sheerwater Glass. We encourage you to complete our get a quote form. Once you’ve filled this in and submitted it to us, we’ll be in touch with a bespoke quote!

Extensions do tend to be the more expensive option of the two. There is a great deal more planning and design involved with extensions.

Once a conservatory has been constructed, it is part of your property’s structure and will be covered.

Not in all cases, however, every conservatory and property is different. In our experience, planning permission isn’t usually required for a conservatory or orangery, but we recommend that you make contact with your local council to confirm whether you do or not. If you do require planning permission then we’ll be more than happy to help!

You will have a vast selection of materials and colours to choose from for your window and door frames.

The materials we offer include Slimline uPVC, uPVC, uPVC timber alternative, timber, aluminium and composite doors. The range of colours we offer are vast and depend on the material you pick.

You can view the colours available with each material and product on our website, or when you come to visit us in our showroom.

Of course, each of our products are customisable to suit your taste and the character of your property.

In addition to offering a range of colours and styles, our doors and windows can be custom built to fit a variety of spaces. Our specialist surveyors will visit your home or business to ensure we have the exact measurements needed.

We’re very confident in our glazing options for each of our windows, doors and conservatories. We’re actually known for our bespoke glazing service. We can install anything from custom leaded glazing to stained glass.

All of our windows are covered with a 10 year guarantee, and it’s common for our windows to outlive the ten years.

Our windows are constructed from the highest quality materials to ensure they are easy to maintain.

In the improbable event that there’s an issue with one of our windows, we’ll be more than happy to help you to mend the issue quickly and efficiently.

We have been certified by a range of building regulators and professional bodies and work to strict industry guidelines. Visit our accreditations page to find out more.

Our conservatories and orangeries are designed to be both secure and thermally efficient. We offer many security features with all of our products, but our conservatories and orangeries utilise toughened glass, internal beading, advanced locking mechanisms and force-resistant hinges.

We can also advise you on the internal barrier between your conservatory and main section of your home; ensuring this door is secure.

Our windows’ energy efficiency ratings are rated very highly. As an example, our uPVC Slimline windows were awarded an energy efficiency rating of A+.

We offer a high quality, thermal efficient double glazing that gives exceptional results.

U-Value is a rating that measures how well heat is transferred into and out of a building by a window or door. The lower the U-Value, the more energy efficient the window, door or conservatory.

We do offer an aftercare service for each product we install. We’re available to support all of our customers; both new and existing.

We try to save our customers time and money by not replacing units unnecessarily. We offer an extensive repair service, from fixing handles and locks to replacing broken glass panels.
