Not much, but not none. Wipe the frames a few times a year, lubricate hinges and locks annually, and keep the drainage channels along the bottom of the frame clear so water can't pool and find its way inside. There is no statutory annual service like a boiler needs.

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.

uPVC frames typically carry a 10 year manufacturer or insurance-backed guarantee, and sealed glazed units are usually guaranteed separately for 5 to 10 years against misting. Register the guarantee after installation and keep the FENSA or Certass certificate — a buyer's solicitor will ask for it if you sell the property.

This directory holds 406 active window and glazing businesses across 47 towns in County Durham, all from the Companies House register. Middlesbrough accounts for 65, among the county's busiest. About 42% of County Durham'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.
