What should you know before starting your window and door installation journey?

Upgrading your windows and doors is an exciting step in any home improvement project—but knowing what to expect can make things smoother from the start. At Exclusive Glazing, we want to give you a clear, stress-free experience when it comes to window and door installation. Whether you’re replacing older units or transforming the style of your home, we’re here to ensure the entire process is managed with precision, care and professionalism.

​

Overview of the typical timeline for window and door installation

When planning a window and door installation, it’s helpful to understand how long things will take. In most cases, we can complete installations within 1–3 days, depending on the number of units and any custom features. More complex home renovations involving different styles—such as switching from a standard window to a bay or replacing patio doors with aluminium bifolds—may take a little longer. The lead time from consultation to fitting is usually 2–4 weeks, allowing time for custom manufacturing and preparation.

We believe in transparent communication from the very beginning, so you’ll know exactly when to expect each stage to begin and how long each part will take.

​

What to expect during the assessment

Before we begin any installation, one of our experienced team members will visit your property for a full assessment. Accurate measurements are essential to avoid problems down the line and ensure a secure fit—especially when working with energy-efficient windows or bespoke aluminium doors.

But it’s not just about sizes. During our visit, we’ll gather all the necessary information about your home, your preferences and your priorities. Whether you’re looking to boost thermal performance, reduce noise levels, or improve home security, we’ll tailor our recommendation specifically to your needs. Every home in Kent is different, and our job is to make sure the window and door installation is the right fit for both your property and your lifestyle.

Professional installation process

Once your units are ready, our professional fitters take the reins. We begin by carefully removing any old windows or doors, minimising disruption and ensuring your property remains protected. After that, we’ll prepare the openings to ensure a clean, level base for your new units.

Our team follows strict safety protocols and installation best practices, ensuring a high standard of work and long-term performance. We’ve built a reputation across Maidstone and the South East by sticking to reliable service standards and working only with trusted installers—no subcontractors here.

At this stage, it’s not just about fitting physical products. We focus on protecting your existing décor, respecting your space, and making sure everything is properly sealed and finished. It’s this attention to detail that gives homeowners peace of mind and long-term value.

​

Post-installation support and satisfaction

At Exclusive Glazing, our relationship with you doesn’t end as soon as the tools are packed away. Your satisfaction is central to everything we do. That’s why we go the extra mile to make sure every window and door installation meets your expectations.

We address any post-installation issues promptly—though we’re proud to say they’re rare. Our fitters always leave the site clean, tidy and fully secure, so you can start enjoying your new home improvements straight away.

Benefits of double glazing

Choosing double glazing for your new windows and doors brings a whole host of practical benefits. First and foremost is energy efficiency. According to the Energy Saving Trust, energy-efficient windows can reduce heating bills by as much as 20% each year. That’s not only good for your pocket, but it’s also better for the planet.

Better glazing also offers enhanced home security and greater noise reduction, creating a more comfortable and peaceful living space. Whether it’s a secure composite door or reflective glass for a south-facing room, modern glazing means modern comfort.

We work closely with leading brands like REHAU and Ultraframe to supply customers with sustainable solutions that don’t compromise on style or performance.
