Local firm Executive Windows are this year celebrating their 20th birthday, a truly remarkable feat in a highly competitive industry! The family run home improvement specialists have been trading since 1988, manufacturing and installing high quality windows, doors and conservatories throughout their local area.

David Parratt Proprietor of Executive Windows is elated with the success story and commented; “It is a fantastic milestone to reach, especially in the home improvement market. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers, present and past for their loyalty and support. We are delighted that we receive over 90% of our work from recommendations as it gives great job satisfaction and supports our ethos of providing high quality workmanship and unrivalled customer service on every job we undertake.”

In the beginning…In 1988 Executive Windows began trading from the Petersfield premises with the aim to raise the standards throughout the home improvement sector in the area by ensuring high quality workmanship on time, every time.

This principle has proved hugely successful and Executive Windows soon expanded, as in 1993 a new showroom and manufacturing facility was opened in Farlington. The production facility was a significant investment that paid dividend, as it soon allowed Executive Windows to use their experienced staff and computerised machinery to produce their own high quality sealed units,

windows, doors and conservatories, with complete control over quality and delivery times.

Proven quality.All the conservatories installed by Executive Windows are fitted with the market leading conservatory roofing system from Ultraframe, a system with a 25-year heritage and reputation for innovation excellence.

Executive Windows are proud members of Ultraframe’s Ultra Installer Scheme, an industry first that was created to give homeowners peace of mind that its members are proven to deliver quality throughout the conservatory installation process. Every member of the Ultra Installer Scheme is independently assessed and approved by the British Board of Agreement, the UK’s major approval body for new constructors, products and installers.

The full monty.Executive Windows has an extensive range of home improvement products ranging from replacement windows and doors to PVCu fascias, guttering and downpipes to stunning high quality conservatory systems to French, patio and sliding doors, all of which are made to measure and comply to the latest insurance specifications.

In 2007 Executive Windows further expanded their range of home improvement products with the introduction of various coloured PVCu entrance doors that are completely maintenance free! In addition, new coloured composite doors are available in a whole range of styles, including a vast choice of special glass manufactured in the glass workshop at Farlington, providing a complete in house facility.

During 2008 the 20th anniversary of continuous successful trading was celebrated with the complete refurbishment of both Petersfield and Farlington showrooms. This mammoth task was to include at Farlington a full size gable fronted Edwardian conservatory, thus ensuring the vast range of finishes is available to see along with an impressive portfolio of past work carried out.

Executive Windows is proud to be a local manufacturer and employer of local people, continuing to support local businesses in and around Petersfield and Farlington.

''During the current uncertain climate, we strive to give value for money and provide a service second to none. Rest assured, all work carried out will not only enhance your home, but add value and save energy costs by incorporating the latest and most efficient technology available today''
