About

Window Advice Centre was founded in 1981 to provide assistance to consumers in line with recommendations of the Office of Fair Trading.

Window Advice Centre's services are available to the general public without charge or obligation.

Our independent experts provide impartial reliable advice to help with product and contractor selection.

The advice covers all aspects of statutory obligation and technical matters such as differences in product lifespan, thermal performance, weather resistance, noise reduction, security, aesthetics and cost.

Client's requirements are set out in a tender document containing detailed technical specifications and scale drawings covering all aspects of the proposed work and the manner of its undertaking.

Contractors' costs are then obtained on a directly comparable basis allowing selection of the most competitive offer.

All work is inspected on completion to ensure it is free of defect prior to payment.

Approved work is covered by 10 year guarantee insurance.

The replacement window market is full of pitfalls and unscrupulous salesmen with the usual high pressure sales techniques of “Sign-up today!” After suffering from 2 or 3 of the usual high street names, I chanced upon WAC on the Which website. I particularly liked WAC’s business model of impartial advice, discussing/agreeing the best solution for me, preparing a comprehensive enquiry document and then obtaining separate competitive quotations from known contractors. They then oversee the installation works and carry out a final inspection. The end result is great. I didn’t know old stained glass could be incorporated within double glazed units. It’s a bonus to have kept this feature of our house. Ask for Ken Hislop –he has forgotten more than you or I will ever know about windows and double glazing. I will use WAC again.

This is an excellent service which is free at the point of use. The consultant is extremely knowledgeable about the type of windows allowed under planning regulations. He explains what is possible and arranges 8 or so estimates from installation companies on the Centre's list of approved companies. When the work is done the consultant checks that the proper materials have been used and that the work is up to standard before final payment is made. The deposit paid and the company's guarantee are both covered by the Centre's insurance policy.

Needed double glazing windows and new porch to our mid-terrace bungalow. I put our needs in the hands of W.A.C. who arrange a meeting with an independent consultant who discusses ou needs and options. Tenders for the job are sent out, returns discussed with the consultant and final decision (s) made. No pressure, no commitment at any point until contract is signed. Whole process was reassuring, highly efficient and excellent value for money, including a 10 yr. Policy of Insurance underwriting the installing company's guarantee. Consultant is available at every stage of process.
