Why we know Folkestone
Folkestone is the eastern edge of our Kent territory and we have completed work in the CT18 postcode, covering the town and the downland villages behind it.
The housing is unusually varied: Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas near the seafront and the Leas, inter-war and post-war housing inland, and rural and village property up on the downs where openings are rarely standard.
Because the run is a long one, jobs here are programmed as full days with materials brought with us, so the work is finished rather than left part-done between visits.
Property types we work on here
- Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas near the seafront
- Inter-war and post-war housing inland
- Village and rural property on the downs
- Flats and period conversions
What Folkestone customers most often need
- Replacement windows for exposed coastal elevations
- Sympathetic glazing for period frontages
- Made-to-template shaped and non-standard units
- Front, back and French door replacement
- Conservatory and glazed roof replacement
- Repairs, replacement glass and sliders

Local issues
Common glazing problems in Folkestone
Coastal exposure on seafront elevations
Salt air and wind-driven rain attack seals and hardware far faster here than inland. Specification has to account for it from the start rather than being corrected later.
Period property with controlled frontages
Around the Leas and the older streets, appearance on principal elevations is often controlled. We identify likely consent requirements at survey, before manufacture.
Exposed downland positions
Village and rural property behind the town sits high and open. Drainage detailing, fixings and seal choice all matter more in that position than on a sheltered street.
Our process
How the job runs, start to finish
Step 1
Free survey
We visit, measure and look at the existing openings, lintels, cills and reveals. The survey is free and carries no obligation.
Step 2
Specification and quotation
You get one clear written quotation covering frames, glass, hardware, fitting, making good and certification; no hidden extras added later.
Step 3
Manufacture
Your frames are made to the surveyed sizes in UPVC or aluminium, with your chosen colours, glazing specification and hardware finishes.
Step 4
Installation
Our own installers fit the job. The work area is sheeted up and protected, materials are kept tidy and debris is cleared away each day.
Step 5
Making good
All making good is completed internally and externally, so the finished opening looks right from both sides before we leave.
Step 6
Certification and aftercare
You receive a FENSA certificate for replacement glazing, full product care advice and a 10-year comprehensive insurance-backed guarantee.
Questions
Folkestone questions, answered
Do you cover Folkestone?
Yes. Folkestone is part of our regular working area. We are based at Unit 6 Brickhouse Farm Trading Estate in South Godstone, a short run from Folkestone, and we have four installers working as two teams on the road.
How soon can you survey a property in Folkestone?
Call us Monday to Friday between 8am and 5pm and we will book a survey directly with you. The survey is free and carries no obligation, and we confirm the appointment and the likely programme in writing.
What does a window or door installation cost in Folkestone?
Every property is different, so we quote after a free survey rather than publishing prices. Your written quotation covers the survey, frames, glass, fitting, full making good inside and out, rubbish removal and certification; there are no extras added afterwards.
Are you FENSA registered for work in Folkestone?
Yes. We are a FENSA approved installer, so replacement glazing is self-certified and your FENSA certificate is issued after the work. There is no council notification for you to arrange. We are also CHAS accredited and our installations are covered by InstallSure.
What guarantee do I get in Folkestone?
All of our installations carry a 10-year comprehensive insurance-backed guarantee underwritten through InstallSure, alongside full product care and after-sales service.
Do you handle emergencies or urgent repairs in Folkestone?
We carry out repairs, replacement glass and sliders across the area during our normal hours of Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Call us with the details and we will tell you honestly when we can attend rather than promising a slot we cannot keep.
Can trade customers in Folkestone buy supply only?
Yes. Send drawings or a schedule and we will quote from them. Finished frames can be collected from our Godstone trade counter, where there is ample parking, or delivered on request.
Do you really travel to Folkestone?
Yes. We have completed work in CT18 and cover the town and surrounding villages. Because of the distance we programme the job as full days so it runs straight through to completion.
Can you make windows for openings that are not square?
Yes. Older property here has settled, and frames are made to the surveyed opening rather than to a nominal size.
