WHY YORKSHIRE HOMEOWNERS TRUST OUR FAMILY BUSINESS

What is the difference between a national window giant and a local family-run business? The difference lies in the level of personal care and accountability. When you choose a local specialist, you aren't dealing with subcontracted fitters or aggressive sales reps. Instead, you receive a direct, hands-on service from the owners themselves, paired with bespoke local manufacturing and a tidy, respectful installation team.

At Lockwood Windows, we have been installing windows, doors, and conservatories across Huddersfield and West Yorkshire since 1998. While we could write all day about our high-performance uPVC and composite ranges, we think our customers describe the Lockwood experience best.

Here is what it actually looks like to work with us, told through the words of our recent clients.

1. No pushy salesmen - just honest, expert surveys

One of the most common complaints about the double-glazing industry is the dreaded high-pressure sales pitch. We don't do that. When you book a survey with us, our owner, Richard, personally visits your home. He takes precise measurements and gives honest, practical suggestions - even telling you what you don’t need to spend your money on.

The recommendation starts from Richard coming to give us an estimate and advising us of things we hadn't thought of and things we didn't need, Raymond in the showroom advising us of the finer details... through to the fitters.

Lockwood Windows were very professional from start to finish. Richard carried out the initial survey, during which his knowledge, advice, and friendly approach was obvious which gave me confidence.

2. Showroom guidance (without the headache)

Choosing the right colour and style for your house is a big decision. That’s why we encourage homeowners to visit our showroom, where Raymond is on hand to help guide you through our product ranges and colour swatches.

Our goal is to help you select a door or window that complements the unique character of your property, whether it is a modern home or an old Yorkshire stone cottage.

From start to finish it was a really positive experience. Raymond gave great guidance without trying to push me down any one route or another which resulted in getting a door that both my girlfriend and I are over the moon with.

3. Fitters who treat your home with respect

We believe that high-quality products deserve a flawless installation. Our dedicated team of fitters pride themselves on their meticulous workmanship.

They don't just fit your windows perfectly; they respect your living space. We frequently hear from customers who are amazed at how clean and tidy our teams leave their homes once the job is finished.

Every room was clean and the sills finished off perfectly. I expected to do some cleaning and maybe a bit of painting after, but not required! Every room was clean... thank you very much.

The fitters were incredibly clean and efficient - they arrived when they said they would and cleaned up thoroughly after themselves each day and at the end of the job. The finished job is so neat.

4. Going above and beyond for older properties

Installing new windows and doors into older properties - especially Yorkshire stone houses with unusual, non-standard openings - requires a great deal of skill. Because we manufacture our own windows and doors in our Huddersfield factory, we can tailor-make frames to fit your home perfectly, rather than trying to force a standard size into an uneven opening.

We had fantastic initial advice and outstanding work fitting all new windows and doors into our 124 year old house. The quality and finish of our new windows and doors surpasses our expectations... the workmanship is truly outstanding.
