Removing old windows and doors in Downton, from riverside cottages to newer estates
Downton is a large village on the River Avon, known for The Borough, its broad medieval street, and the historic Moot gardens. Its housing runs from older riverside cottages to newer estates, and that mix means we see everything from original timber windows to replaced uPVC units when it comes to removal work.
In the older riverside part of the village, frames are often timber and long past their best, and taking them out calls for a careful hand. On the newer estates the job is more often a straightforward swap of tired uPVC or aluminium windows and doors. Either way, our role is the same: lift the old units out cleanly, handle the glass safely, and take everything away.
Older cottages near the river can have their own quirks of access, and we plan the carry route and loading before we start so heavy sashes, doors and glazed units come out without fuss. On the newer estates, with drives and more room, we can usually clear a whole house of replaced units in one visit.
This is a removal and disposal service rather than an installation one. We do not fit new windows or doors, but we work neatly alongside the fitters and builders carrying out replacements so the property is left clear and tidy.
What we take, and where it goes
Frames and unitsSection titled Frames%20and%20units
We remove old timber, uPVC and aluminium windows and doors, including period sashes, casements, single panes, glazed units, patio sliders and French doors, and separate them by material.
Safe glass handlingSection titled Safe%20glass%20handling
Old glazing is heavy and easily broken, so we wrap and load panes with care and keep whole units apart from broken glass, leaving nothing sharp behind on paths or drives.
Recycling and disposalSection titled Recycling%20and%20disposal
Timber, uPVC and aluminium can be reused or recycled, and much of the glass too. Anything with no onward use goes through a licensed route, with household material taken to Salisbury Household Recycling Centre at Churchfields.
Why Downton customers choose us for window and door removal
Downton spans centuries of housing, and old windows and doors here range from delicate timber to modern uPVC. We remove and clear the lot, matching the care to the property.
Comfortable with older and newer homes alike
From heavy timber sashes in riverside cottages to uPVC units on the newer estates, we adapt the removal to the property rather than treating every job the same.
We plan access on older properties
Cottages near the Avon can have tighter access, so we work out the carry route and loading spot first to bring old units out cleanly.
Safe glass handling
Old glazing is wrapped and loaded carefully and kept away from broken glass, so nothing hazardous is left around the property.
Recycling led
Timber, uPVC, aluminium and much of the glass are sorted for reuse or recycling rather than sent straight to landfill.
Van and labour included
We do the lifting and loading, so heavy period frames and glazed doors do not have to be moved by you.
