Douglas D. Mcintyre Joiners Limited

A single uPVC window in Perth typically runs £300 to £600 supplied and fitted; a full house of 8 to 10 windows is often £3,000 to £8,000 depending on style (casement, bay, sash-look) and glazing spec. Get two or three written, itemised quotes before agreeing to work.

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.

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.

It's proof the window or door installation meets Building Regulations (thermal performance, safety glazing, ventilation) without a separate council building control sign-off. Without one, selling the property can mean paying for retrospective building control inspection or indemnity insurance, so keep the certificate with your house documents.

No. Companies appear in this directory because they are on the Companies House register under a window/joinery installation trade code. A listing is not vetting, endorsement, or a guarantee that the company is trading or FENSA/Certass registered.
