Property Maintenance
Windows & Doors
Guardian Edge supplies, installs and repairs windows and doors across the UK — UPVC, aluminium and timber, including communal entrance doors, fire doors, and the emergency egress windows that a bedroom's means of escape can depend on.
Secure, weathertight, and compliant where escape depends on them.
Who this is for
- Landlords, letting agents and managing agents
- Housing providers with window replacement programmes
- Commercial premises and retail units
Problems it solves
- Windows will not open, or will not close and lock
- A communal entrance door has failed and cannot be secured
- Draughts, condensation and failed double-glazed units
- A bedroom window does not provide adequate means of escape

Before we price anything
Inspection & survey process
- 01
Assess repair versus replacement
A great many 'failed windows' need a hinge, a gearbox or a seal rather than a new frame.
On site
How the work is delivered
- 01
Measure and order
Surveyed properly so the fit is right first time.
- 02
Install and make good
Fitted, sealed and made good internally and externally.
Compliance
What the rules actually require
- Replacement windows and doors in dwellings are controlled fittings under the Building Regulations and must be either installed under a competent person scheme or notified to building control.
- Bedrooms and habitable rooms may require an emergency egress window depending on the building and its escape strategy.
- Fire-rated doorsets must be installed as tested assemblies, complete with certified ironmongery.
- Glazing in critical locations must meet impact safety requirements under Building Regulations Part K.
Standards & legislation
These are not all the same kind of obligation, and we do not present them as if they were. A statutory duty is law. A British Standard is the recognised way of demonstrating you have met one. Guidance and our own recommendations are neither.
- Legal requirementBuilding Regulations Part L & Part K
Controlled fittings and glazing safety
Replacement windows must meet thermal requirements and glazing in critical locations must be safety glass.
Ongoing support
Planned, reactive and multi-site.
Most providers do one of these well. The value of a single provider is that the schedule, the emergency and the portfolio all sit in the same place.
Planned maintenance
- Window replacement programmes across a housing stock
Reactive support
- Emergency glazing and securing
- Lock and mechanism repairs
Multi-site & national portfolios
- One specification and one supplier across a portfolio
Procurement, simplified
