Free, no-obligation quotes · response within 1 working hour · supply-only or fully installed
Essex property here means 1930s semis, new-build estates and barn conversions — large bifold-plus-lantern rear extensions are the dominant project type. That local context shapes what we recommend in Colchester — from glass specification to frame colour — before a single quote is written.
Frames are thermally broken aluminium, glazing is 28mm argon-filled with self-clean and solar options, and everything is made to measure. Buy supply-only with kerbside delivery, or have our fitters handle the lot under a written workmanship guarantee.
From Colchester we also serve Frinton-on-Sea, Chelmsford and Southend-on-Sea and the wider county — so if you're comparing quotes anywhere in Essex, ours is free, fast and without obligation.
Yes — misting means the sealed unit has failed, not the lantern. We measure the pane, manufacture a matching unit (including self-clean or solar coatings) and fit it in situ, usually within a couple of weeks.
Could be five things: ridge capping, hip junction, perimeter seal, kerb flashing or the flat roof itself, with condensation a sixth impostor. We trace the actual path before quoting, so you pay to fix the real fault.
Yes — repairs cover all major aluminium, uPVC and timber systems regardless of who installed them. Photos of the lantern and the fault speed up the first visit.
The pane itself isn't — once a sealed unit's edge seal fails it's replaced, not resealed. The frame stays; only the glass unit changes.
We do. Colchester and the surrounding Essex towns are core territory for both our installation teams and our supply-only delivery routes.
For Colchester: same-day made-to-measure quotes, standard sizes delivering in around 7–10 working days, and installation slots booked to suit once the survey's done.
Send the form and we’ll come back with honest prices — supply-only or installed — with a response within 1 working hour.
