South Lakes Windows supplies and installs a wide range of replacement windows for traditional and modern homes.
Our range includes UPVC, timber and aluminium windows, with styles including casement, flush, sliding sash, tilt and turn, French, fixed, bay, bow and shaped windows.
Before new windows are ordered, accurate measurements need to be taken at the property. The survey also provides an opportunity to assess the existing openings and identify anything that needs to be considered before installation.
During replacement work, the existing windows are carefully removed before the openings are prepared for the new frames. The replacement windows can then be positioned, secured, glazed and sealed.
Opening sections and hardware are checked as part of the fitting process so that windows open, close and lock correctly.
We can replace individual windows or provide installation across a complete property.
Our door installation service covers front and entrance doors as well as larger glazed doors leading to gardens, patios and outdoor living areas.
South Lakes Windows supplies and installs composite, UPVC, timber and aluminium doors, allowing the material and design to be selected according to the property.
We can also install French doors, stable doors, bi-folding doors, sliding doors, lift and slide systems and triple track doors.
Larger glazed door systems require particularly accurate installation. Frames and tracks need to be level and correctly positioned so that panels move as intended. The structural opening must also be suitable for the selected system.
Where doors form part of a new extension or conservatory, we can plan the opening during the design stage and coordinate installation with the wider project.
South Lakes Windows provides a complete conservatory installation service, covering new structures as well as suitable replacement and upgrade projects.
We install a range of conservatory designs, including Victorian, Edwardian, lean-to and gable fronted conservatories.
Once the base and supporting structure are ready, the conservatory frames can be installed according to the agreed design. Windows, doors and roof components are then fitted to create the finished structure.
Different roof specifications can be incorporated depending on the conservatory.
Homeowners can consider glass roofs, solid roofs, tiled roofs and hybrid designs. Systems such as Ultraframe UltraRoof and LivinROOF provide options for homeowners who want a greater proportion of insulated roof construction.
The complete installation needs to be considered together, particularly where roof glazing, large doors or other features form part of the design.
Our installation services also cover home extensions designed to create additional permanent living space.
South Lakes Windows can work on kitchen extensions, dining room extensions, home office extensions and other new living areas.
Extension projects involve more than fitting windows and doors. Depending on the agreed scope of work, construction can include ground preparation, foundations, floors, walls, insulation, structural openings and roofing.
Windows, doors and glazing can then be installed as part of the wider project.
Managing these elements together means the openings for windows and doors can be considered before construction begins. Roof lanterns and skylights can also be positioned as part of the roof design rather than added as an afterthought.
This approach is particularly useful for extensions with large glazed elevations or wide openings onto the garden.
South Lakes Windows can install several types of roof for conservatories and suitable home extension projects.
For homeowners who want an insulated solid roof, UltraRoof provides a lightweight tiled roofing option for suitable applications.
LivinROOF combines solid insulated roof sections with selected areas of glazing, allowing daylight to enter from above while retaining substantial areas of solid roof.
Flat roof projects can incorporate an UltraSKY Lantern, which creates a raised glazed section within the roof. An UltraSKY Flat Skylight provides a lower-profile alternative.
We also install suitable glass conservatory roofs where extensive overhead glazing is preferred.
Roof installation needs to take account of the existing property, supporting structure, drainage and weather protection. Where an old conservatory roof is being replaced, the existing structure should first be assessed to determine whether it is suitable for the proposed replacement system.
An older conservatory does not always need to be completely replaced.
Where the main structure remains suitable, installing a replacement conservatory roof can provide an opportunity to change the character of the room and address problems associated with an ageing roof.
An older glass or polycarbonate roof may be replaced with modern glazing or, where suitable, a solid or hybrid roof system.
South Lakes Windows will first assess the existing conservatory. The supporting frames and structure need to be considered before deciding which replacement roof options are appropriate.
The new roof can then be specified around the dimensions and construction of the conservatory.
Homeowners may also choose to combine a roof replacement with new windows, doors or glazing as part of a wider conservatory upgrade.
Overhead glazing can introduce natural light into extensions, kitchens, dining rooms and other living spaces.
South Lakes Windows can install roof lanterns and skylights as part of suitable new-build and extension projects.
An UltraSKY Lantern creates a raised glazed feature within a flat roof. It can be positioned over a dining table, kitchen island or central living area to bring daylight into the room below.
The UltraSKY Flat Skylight provides a flatter alternative where a lower external profile is preferred.
Positioning is important. A skylight or lantern should relate to the room below and the areas where additional daylight will provide the greatest benefit.
Planning the glazing before the roof is constructed allows the required opening to be incorporated into the project from the beginning.
Installing new windows, doors or an extension on a traditional property requires careful consideration of the existing building.
South Lakes Windows offers timber, UPVC and aluminium products suitable for a range of architectural styles.
For period homes, window proportions, frame colours, glazing bars and opening styles can be selected with the original property in mind. Sliding sash and cottage-style windows can provide options where a traditional appearance is required.
Listed buildings and properties within conservation areas may be subject to additional restrictions. Consent may be required before replacing windows or doors or making larger alterations to the property.
These considerations are particularly relevant across the Lake District and Cumbria, where historic properties and conservation areas are common.
Our installation services are not limited to completely new projects.
South Lakes Windows can replace existing windows and doors, install new glazed door systems, upgrade conservatories and replace suitable conservatory roofs.
This gives homeowners the option to improve individual parts of a property over time.
For example, older windows may be replaced with modern double glazed units while retaining a style that suits the house. An existing rear door could be replaced with French, sliding or bi-folding doors where the opening and structure allow.
A conservatory may benefit from new glazing, windows, doors or a roof replacement rather than complete removal.
A property survey allows us to assess the existing installation and discuss the available options.
Accurate surveying is the starting point for our installation work.
South Lakes Windows can visit your property to take measurements, inspect the existing openings or structure and discuss the products you are considering.
The chosen windows, doors, glazing or roof system can then be specified and prepared for installation.
For larger conservatory and extension projects, the survey also helps establish how the different parts of the project will work together. This includes considering roof heights, structural openings, access and the position of windows and doors.
Our aim is to provide a clear route from choosing your products through to having them professionally installed at your home.
