Cathays (CF24) · Cardiff · Free quote in 24 hours · 10-year guarantee · We beat any like-for-like quote

Cathays sits at the heart of the CF24 catchment we cover daily, and flush sash and bay windows are one of the products we install here most often. Working Cathays regularly means we already know which products perform here. Cathays is a densely populated area near Cardiff city centre with rows of Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Window and door replacements here improve both energy efficiency and noise reduction from busy streets. On a heritage window replacement here we typically specify Residence Collection flush sashes and Liniar bay window kits, which matches the timber sightlines of period property without the rot, paint or maintenance overhead. Mechanical joints, dual-colour foiling and authentic glazing bars suit conservation areas. If you've had a quote from us in Roath or Gabalfa recently, you'll know we're already in the area most weeks. Every quote is itemised line-by-line — frames, glass, hardware, fitting and certification — no bundled lump sums. Listed Building and conservation paperwork handled in-house when required.

Orangeries combine the best of conservatories and traditional extensions. With more substantial brick or rendered pillars, a flat perimeter roof and a central glazed lantern, an orangery feels like a permanent room — bright, comfortable year-round and instantly impressive. Increasingly the choice for homeowners who want extra living space with a higher-end finish.
