Why in-house window installation matters
Most national window companies and a surprising number of locals subcontract their fitting. We don't, and we never have. Here's why it matters more than almost any other line on a quote.
What subcontracting actually means for you
The company that quotes you, surveys you and warranties the work doesn't fit the work.
The fitter is paid per job, not per hour — incentive is to finish fast, not finish well.
If something goes wrong, you're between two parties pointing at each other.
Aftercare visits are scheduled around fitter availability, not customer urgency.
How in-house fitting changes the result
Our fitters have been with us 10–20 years. They know our customers' streets, our suppliers, our standards.
They're paid a salary, not piece rate — there's no incentive to rush.
If you call us on Monday with an issue, the same crew that fitted it usually comes back by Wednesday.
Quality is consistent from job to job because the same team trains itself.
How to check before you sign
Ask directly: 'Do you employ your own fitters, or subcontract?' A clear answer is a good sign.
Ask to meet the fitter at the survey if possible.
Check Google reviews for repeat fitter names in positive reviews — a sign of consistent in-house team.
What in-house means on fitting day
The people who measure your windows work for the same small family business as the people who fit them. If something needs adjusting, there is no chain of subcontractors to chase; you call us directly on 07925 319937.
