DIY Double Glaze

We approached three different companies for double glazing quotes and choose DIY Double Glaze. They were meticulous in measuring our windows and provided a competitive quote with some pricing options for us to choose from. Their reputation is obviously good as we had to wait approx. 3 months before they could start on our job. We chose to have them do all the work i.e. no DIY from us. As the job unfolded we had 4 different crew members working at our home. All were professional, polite with a keen eye on detail. Of course there was some dust, glass / timber fragments etc and they did clean up each day. We are very pleased with the end result and the painting is now underway. More than happy to recommend Mark and his team.

Most cost efficient way to get double glazing in a existing dwelling in my opinion. The end result is of a very high level aesthetically (considering it's a retrofit), and thermally I don't believe you could get better (Alan believes his product (via the specific way he gets in manufactured) is actually closer to triple glazing and I believe him).His product, service and professionalism is as the other reviewers have stated, of a very high standard, and of great importance to me, honest and not commercially greedy.I was more than happy to pay for his time to install my windows given I don't have all the time, tools and experience required, however if you do, he provides detailed install instructions for free on his website.Highly recommended.

The team from DIY Double Glaze was amazing and the result is what we were hoping for. We bought our 20-year-old house two years ago and while the windows were in a reasonable condition for what they were (wooden sash-windows, single-glazing), the poor insulation and gaps were really bothering us. We looked into options for retrofitting as well as entirely new UPVC windows. While no doubt new frames and windows would have achieved an entirely different result and retrofitting can never do that, it's also about four times more expensive. We're talking some serious cash here! For us that wasn't feasible, so we went with retrofitting and are super happy with the result. It's warmer, less drafty (the guys also put additional sealing for those pesky gaps, which in itself helped a lot), we get less condensation and it's also more sound-proof. Aesthetically there's no drawback. We found the DIY team all the way through approachable, super friendly, patient with all our questions, and accommodating. They instantly created a trusting relationship and we felt in the best hands. Highly recommend!

Alan is an idealist who is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He has many tricks up his sleeves and is keen to share them. He is also very honest and warns you about the labor of replacing your windows. Read his web page carefully before you start.Getting the old glass out is VERY tedious and VERY time consuming. Getting the new glass in requires GOOD skills and GREAT patience with router and chisel, in particular if you have double-hung sash windows. A good workshop and good tools are required.At the end of the day it is all worth it and you have the double glaze windows you couldn't afford if someone else retro-fits them for you. Your house achieves much better energy preservation.The reason I give Alan only 4/5 * is that he didn't zero his brand new measuring device and as a result all my $5000 worth windows were fabricated too big, resulting in much more work adjusting the wooden frames. To Alan's credit, he came to my house and and fitted 1/2 of the windows himself, showing me how to do the rest. I am confident, by now his measuring gadget is accurate.I'd like to thank him for all his help and priceless advice.

Alan was great! We had a large room with lots of very large windows to double glaze. Alan provided the windows and installed them with my parter. Total cost was under half of what we had previously been quoted by another company and made it possible for us to do it. Very happy with quality and have already noticed a difference. Alan was also very helpful in suggesting other ways we could improve the efficiency of our home and was very prompt in responding to queries and generally great to deal with. Would definitely recommend.

I could not recommend Alan and the DIY double glaze team more highly. Alan was friendly, professional, easy to deal with and the cost was substantially cheaper than any other retrofit glazing or secondary glazing option I investigated (and cheaper on the day than originally quoted as the install took less time - honesty rarely found these days). I can't comment on the performance of the windows as yet, but the technical specs are on par or better than the other alternatives I investigated - they are true IGUs with argon gas and low-E coating. I would expect them to be superior to the secondary acrylic options, and a similar price.

Very happy with the installation timeframes, workmanship and advice.I've noticed an immediate difference in the surrounding road noise already!

Alan was very easy to deal with and carefully laid out the details for us to understand. As we wanted noise reduction and thermal improvement, he was able to cater the window order to our needs. I worked with Alan to install the windows, which we did without issue. Even 6 months later when a window seal failed, Alan came over immediately and replaced it.

Very happy customer - had several windows and a couple of doors reglazed. Very efficient installation and a great result.

Looks Fantastic and difference in the temperature inside is enormous; much more than I had hoped for! Was not an Easy install but was done perfectly after some effort from the installers. The Guy in the photo is the less shy of the installers on my job in front of my new four windows. I could not be happier and will use them again wherever I can.
