About

Academy Windows: domestic installation of quality uPVC and aluminium windows, doors and conservatories. With 30 years industry experience we have earned the trust of many thousands of customers. We are a FENSA registered business, the industry gold standard for replacement windows and doors. Choose Academy Windows and you are choosing quality products and service during and beyond your installation. We are happy to honour our guarantee because we believe in the quality of our products and service.

Our manufacturing arm, Windows Direct, make all our own windows, doors and conservatories in our factory in Brightlingsea. We use, as far as possible, British made components (i.e. hinges, locks and handles) which are more expensive but far superior to the mass produced products from the Far East. This ethos has gained us recognition as one of the leading manufacturers of uPVC products in the United Kingdom.

Dan and Ryan fitted 3 windows and Cladding to the front of our house. They were punctual, friendly and got on with the work quickly and efficiently put covers on floor and hoovered up at the end of the day. Stayed for 3 days.

Really impressed by the standard of the work. They came when they said they would, were polite and efficient and did the work extremely tidily. Also it was at a very fair price compared to other estimates that I had had. A wrong panel was inserted in the porch area and when I pointed it out they were most apologetic and remedied the fault as soon as they could. They were completely trustworthy.

Replaced three windows, two large. It was done to agreed schedule and budget. Explained things. Answered questions fully and politely. The workmen were considerate, tidy, seemed very efficient. The work looks 'neat' and careful. Nothing has yet fine wrong. Considering having more work done (Would not hesitate if finances were open ended, more window work and wooden fascia's and soffits) A friend replacing UPVC recommended them. The mand from FENSA said everything is perfect.
