Excellent repair work and they alerted us to the bad installation of flue pipe through the roof which needed lead covering. They applied lead plate around the pipe and did a great job. Would definitely recommend.
Modern uPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride) windows and doors are one of the most popular choices for residential and commercial property owners, across Dorset. They offer an unbeatable blend of performance, affordability and low maintenance, whilst boosting your home’s security.
uPVC doors/windows provide excellent insulation. Helping your home retain warmth in the colder months and stay cooler during the summer.
Our double-glazed windows feature a sealed air or gas-filled gap between two panes of glass. Which slows down heat transfer and significantly reduces energy loss. This helps to lower your heating bills and increase your home’s energy performance rating – something that’s increasingly important under modern UK regulations.
Unlike traditional timber frames that require regular sanding and sealing. uPVC is virtually maintenance-free.
The frames are resistant to rot, warping, corrosion and discolouration. A simple wipe with a damp cloth is often all that’s needed to keep them looking new. Installations are designed to last for decades with minimal upkeep, even in coastal or exposed areas of Dorset.
All our uPVC door and window systems also come with multi-point locking mechanisms as standard. Offering robust protection against intruders.
The material itself is strong and impact-resistant and when combined with laminated or toughened glass options – your home becomes significantly more secure. We also install child-safety restrictors or enhanced locking systems upon request.
Dorset may offer countryside charm, but road noise, noise pollution and neighbourhood activity can still be disruptive. Double-glazed uPVC windows form a barrier to external sound. Creating a quieter, more peaceful indoor environment. Perfect for bedrooms, nurseries or home offices.
Today’s uPVC products are available in a wide range of styles, colours and finishes. From classic white frames to wood-grain effect that mimics the look of timber.
Modern uPVC doors and windows are manufactured with sustainability in mind. The material is fully recyclable at the end of its lifespan and the improved thermal performance they offer means less reliance on fossil fuel heating, contributing to lower carbon emissions overall.
When Emily first viewed her 1930’s semi-detached home in Bournemouth, she was immediately drawn to its bay windows, red brickwork and large rear garden.
However, it didn’t take long for her to start to notice the signs of aging timber-framed windows. On colder mornings for example, she recounts, condensation would run down the interior of the window panes. Also, the sitting room (near the front bay window), was noticeably colder than the rest of the house.
After seeing a neighbour’s home transformed. The client contacted RV Roofing & Building about upgrading her own windows, Within days a surveyor visited to carry out a full site assessment. Unlike some firms they’d spoken to, the team at RV took time to understand the house’s layout, light exposure and even its position in relation to the sea breeze.
We discussed not only frame choices and glass performance, but also how to preserve the period feel of the house.
The couple opted for white uPVC casement windows throughout the property, including a set of curved bay windows at the front – complete with vertical Georgian bar detailing to replicate the original look. For the rear of the house, particularly the kitchen and upstairs bedrooms, they selected energy-rated units with argon-filled double glazing and acoustic glass to dull the hum of distant traffic.
The installation itself took just over four days. The team arrived each morning and worked with minimal disruption, carefully removing the old frames without damaging the surrounding masonry.
All internal sills were re-trimmed with fresh finishes, with protective floor coverings ensuring no mess was left behind. Emily particularly appreciated the care taken upstairs, where freshly decorated walls remained untouched.
After completion the change was immediately noticeable. Rooms felt warmer, quieter and from the street the house retained its charm but with a much cleaner, sharper finish.
“It’s like we gave the house the upgrade it deserved,” Emily said. “Everything is more comfortable, and we no longer dread the sound of wind or rain.”
Replacing old windows with high-performance uPVC frames can significantly increase your property’s market value. Potential buyers look for energy-efficient homes with low maintenance costs and new windows often feature on surveyor checklists.
By improving your EPC rating and reducing exterior noise, your investment in window replacement can directly enhance resale value and shorten time on the market.
We begin with a free site visit to assess your property, take accurate measurements and discuss your preferences. This is your opportunity to explore window styles, finishes and glazing options – all while receiving expert advice on what best suits your home and budget.
Once your quote is approved, we book your installation at a time that’s convenient for you.
On the day of fitting, our team arrives promptly and begins by safely removing the old windows. We carefully prepare the openings, check alignment and then install the new uPVC frames using secure, weatherproof fixings. All glass units are sealed in place, and internal trims are added. We also dispose of all waste and old units responsibly.
Installations usually take between one to three days – depending on the size of your property. Throughout the process we take care to protect your interiors, keep disruption to a minimum and aim to leave every area clean upon completion. We will walk you through the final result and will give you all information on maintenance and advice on how to keep your new windows looking pristine.
Not all window problems require full replacement and at RV Roofing & Building, we offer a comprehensive uPVC repair service to extend the life of your existing windows and save you money.
If you’re experiencing draughts, stiff handles, misted glazing or faulty locks, we can usually carry out a targeted repair using high-quality replacement parts. In many cases broken hinges, warped sashes or deteriorated seals can be resolved without removing the entire frame.
Glazing replacement for blown or fogged double-glazed units, which is a common issue in older windows. We replace just the glass panel, not the whole window, restoring thermal efficiency and clarity with minimal disruption or cost.
Our repair team serves the entire Dorset region and responds quickly to urgent issues like failed locking mechanisms or water ingress. With honest assessments and transparent pricing, you’ll only ever be advised to upgrade when it’s genuinely necessary.
Every home is different, which is why we offer a wide range of uPVC window styles and finishes to match both modern and traditional properties.
Choose from classic casement windows, which open outwards and suit most homes, or opt for tilt & turn systems that offer secure ventilation and easy internal cleaning (ideal for upper floors).
We also install bay and bow windows to enhance natural light and create a spacious feel inside. All styles are available in a range of colours including traditional white, anthracite grey, woodgrain finishes (such as Irish Oak or Rosewood) and dual-colour options for different interior and exterior looks.
We’ll help you customise your windows down to the smallest detail, from handle styles and ventilation options, to Georgian bars. Ensuring they not only perform well, but elevate the look of your property.
Living near the coast presents unique challenges, such as; salt-laden air and higher wind speeds. Both of which can cause early deterioration in lower-quality frames.
Our uPVC systems are specifically selected for their coastal-grade durability, ensuring resistance to corrosion and warping. We also offer stainless steel hardware options that withstand harsh sea air, making them ideal for properties in Bournemouth, Poole and surrounding coastal villages.
In most cases replacing your existing windows with new uPVC units does not require planning permission. This falls under what is known as “permitted development.” However, if your property is listed, located in a conservation area or has an Article 4 direction in place, you may need to apply for consent before making any alterations to the appearance of the windows.
At RV Roofing & Building, we’re happy to advise on planning considerations and help you check with Dorset Council if you’re unsure.
Most window replacements take between 1 to 3 days, depending on how many windows need to be installed and fitted. A small home with five to six windows can often be completed in one working day; while larger installations may take longer.
We always provide an accurate timeline during the survey stage and we do our best to minimise disruption to your routine.
uPVC technology has advanced significantly in recent years and we now offer a wide range of design options to replicate timber sash windows, heritage frames and existing bay layouts.
We can also install Georgian bars, woodgrain-effect finishes and colour-matched trims (that preserve the visual integrity of your home while upgrading its performance). Our aim is always to enhance your property and not compromise its character.
All of our uPVC window systems are double glazed as standard and meet or exceed UK energy performance requirements.
The sealed glass units use either argon or krypton gas between the panes. Significantly reducing heat transfer and helping to maintain a consistent indoor temperature. This means you use less energy for heating and cooling and over time you save on utility bills.
Double glazing already provides a good level of sound insulation, but we also offer acoustic glass upgrades for homeowners who live near busy roads, flight paths or noisy neighbourhoods. These special units come with a different thickness ratio than normal, this is to disrupt soundwaves more effectively and reduce both high and low-frequency noise. We can give you full details during our site visit - if noise reduction is a priority.
High-quality uPVC windows have an average lifespan of 20-30 years - when properly maintained. Because the material is weather-resistant ie. won’t warp, crack or rot. It can hold up well even in coastal areas like Poole.
Our windows come with guarantees on both the frame and the glazing. Giving you peace of mind that your investment will last for decades.
In many cases, you can replace just the glazing unit if the frame is still structurally sound. This is often the case with “blown” double-glazing units that have condensation trapped between the panes. We offer glass-only replacements as part of our repair service, saving you the cost of a full window renewal. We can also replace failed seals, locks and hinges without removing the entire frame.
All our installations include multi-point locking mechanisms and internal beading for added security. uPVC is a tough material by itself, but when paired with toughened or laminated glass and secure fittings, it becomes extremely difficult to tamper with.
You can also request enhanced security features such as hinge-side bolts, child safety restrictors and PAS24-compliant locking systems (for extra re-assurance).
uPVC windows are very low-maintenance. Unlike timber, they never need painting or sealing. We recommend wiping the frames and glass with a soft cloth and mild detergent every few months.
Hinges and locks can benefit from occasional lubrication with silicone spray to keep them operating smoothly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools - as these can scratch the finish or damage seals.
We offer an extensive range of colours, finishes and hardware styles. Popular colour choices include anthracite dark grey, Irish oak, golden oak, and rosewood. All are available with matching trims and sills - and you can even choose the colour of your handles,
All our windows come with a manufacturer’s warranty (typically 10-years for the frames and glazing units) and we also guarantee our workmanship.
If there’s a problem after the work is complete, we’re just a phone call away. We’re a locally trusted business with ongoing support and reliable aftercare.
We install and repair uPVC doors and windows throughout the Dorset region, including Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Verwood, Ringwood and surrounding villages. If you're unsure whether we cover your location, just get in touch and we’ll be happy to confirm.
Pricing depends on window size, style, glazing specification and the number of units being replaced. As a rough guide, a basic casement window fitted can start from around £3-500, while bay windows or custom units may cost more. We provide clear, itemised quotes after a free survey, with no pressure and no hidden fees.
We currently offer staged payments on larger projects and can often split costs over multiple phases if needed.
While we don’t provide direct financing in-house, we’re happy to work with you on a payment structure that suits your budget and timeline.
