Ridon Joinery Limited

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 (SO14 0JX) directly on the FENSA or Certass website before booking, and ask to see the certificate number.

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.

uPVC frames typically carry a 10 year manufacturer or insurance-backed guarantee, and sealed glazed units are usually guaranteed separately for 5 to 10 years against misting. Register the guarantee after installation and keep the FENSA or Certass certificate — a buyer's solicitor will ask for it if you sell the property.

No. Companies appear in this directory because they are on the Companies House register under a window/joinery installation trade code. A listing is not vetting, endorsement, or a guarantee that the company is trading or FENSA/Certass registered.

This directory holds 654 active window and glazing businesses across 74 towns in Hampshire, all from the Companies House register. Southampton accounts for 106, among the county's busiest. About 33% of Hampshire'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.
