Drummond Flooring & Joinery Ltd

This directory does not confirm registration. Window and door installers self-certify their work against Building Regulations through a Competent Person Scheme — mainly FENSA or Certass — so check the company name or postcode (ML3 9TJ) directly on the FENSA or Certass website before booking, and ask to see the certificate number.

A single uPVC window in Hamilton typically runs £300 to £600 supplied and fitted; a full house of 8 to 10 windows is often £3,000 to £8,000 depending on style (casement, bay, sash-look) and glazing spec. Get two or three written, itemised quotes before agreeing to work.

Not much, but not none. Wipe the frames a few times a year, lubricate hinges and locks annually, and keep the drainage channels along the bottom of the frame clear so water can't pool and find its way inside. There is no statutory annual service like a boiler needs.

It's proof the window or door installation meets Building Regulations (thermal performance, safety glazing, ventilation) without a separate council building control sign-off. Without one, selling the property can mean paying for retrospective building control inspection or indemnity insurance, so keep the certificate with your house documents.

This directory holds 1,214 active window and glazing businesses across 60 towns in Greater Manchester, all from the Companies House register. Hamilton accounts for 55, among the county's busiest. About 41% of Greater Manchester's registered window and glazing firms were incorporated in the last three years, so weigh incorporation date and FENSA/Certass registration, not just company age.
