Catton Windows have made and installed 3 bespoke casement windows and a set of french doors for our Victorian terraced house, and we are delighted with them. We had quotes from 2 other companies, both of which were higher, and which would have required us to find a tradesperson to fit them. With Catton Windows you get the full package - manufacture and installation. This works well, because any minor issue which may crop up during the installation, can be immediately resolved with the manufacturing team. Quality doors and windows at a very fair price. Would totally recommend.

We got all the windows, front and back doors and patio doors in our house replaced by Catton Windows. We were very impressed with the quality of all the windows and doors they produced and the joiners who fitted them were totally brilliant - they were total craftsmen who did an excellent job. Many thanks to Catton Windows.

Awesome! Could not get the Cill I needed anywhere and was being told I needed to use a bespoke joinery to 'make' it. Matthew stepped in sorted it all out for me! Had the item in stock and re-shaped it to fit my door perfectly! Would highly recommend. Super friendly and helpful. Got me out of a right pickle! THANK YOU!

Visited a month or so back after requesting a quote for some casement window frame repair. Dismissive salesman turned up at my door with the intention to sell me brand new windows, disregarding what I had asked them to come out for. Told me nobody would bother to repair. I gave in and asked for a quote which I never even received anyway! Waste of time, they aren't interested. Went elsewhere and got the problem solved

We own a grade 2 listed house and Catton Windows arranged the listings permission and sympathetically replaced seventeen rotten windows and two patio doors with wooden conservation double glazed units. I cannot praise Philip and his team highly enough. Our experience from start to finish was excellent. Philip was courteous, professional and instilled confidence from the off. His initial consultation and quote (which was very reasonable) lead to a smooth job.
The window installers Jason, Steve and John were punctual, personable and made a superb job of all aspects of a very difficult project. The finishing off was precise and the attention to detail excellent, not mess no fuss. Would I recommend Catton windows - most definitely.

Great local company who have been generous enough to offer collection of their waste wood shavings/sawdust which I have been collecting and delivering for use by Hallswood Animal Sanctuary. This has been very welcome and has helped to support this not for profit local organisation, plus is a great ethical way to reuse materials which would otherwise be wasted. Matthew has been very friendly and helpful.
