Alan is an idealist who is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He has many tricks up his sleeves and is keen to share them. He is also very honest and warns you about the labor of replacing your windows. Read his web page carefully before you start. Getting the old glass out is VERY tedious and VERY time consuming. Getting the new glass in requires GOOD skills and GREAT patience with router and chisel, in particular if you have double-hung sash windows. A good workshop and good tools are required. At the end of the day it is all worth it and you have the double glaze windows you couldn't afford if someone else retro-fits them for you. Your house achieves much better energy preservation. The reason I give Alan only 4/5 * is that he didn't zero his brand new measuring device and as a result all my 5000 worth windows were fabricated too big, resulting in much more work adjusting the wooden frames. To Alan's credit, he came to my house and and fitted 1/2 of the windows himself, showing me how to do the rest. I am confident, by now his measuring gadget is accurate. I'd like to thank him for all his help and priceless advice.

Most cost efficient way to get double glazing in a existing dwelling in my opinion. The end result is of a very high level aesthetically (considering it's a retrofit), and thermally I don't believe you could get better (Alan believes with two 4mm toughened glass panes, an internal low/E coating and argon gas, the product is actually closer to triple glazing and I believe him). His product, service and professionalism is as the other reviewers have stated, of a very high standard, and of great importance to me, honest and not commercially greedy. I was more than happy to pay for his time to install my windows given I don't have all the time, tools and experience required, however if you do, he provides detailed install instructions for free on his website. Highly recommended.
Alan was great! We had a large room with lots of very large windows to double glaze. Alan provided the windows and installed them with my parter. Total cost was under half of what we had previously been quoted by another company and made it possible for us to do it. Very happy with quality and have already noticed a difference. Alan was also very helpful in suggesting other ways we could improve the efficiency of our home and was very prompt in responding to queries and generally great to deal with. Would definitely recommend.
I bought an oversized fixed double glazed window for my bedroom from DIY Double Glaze with Alan and I was really impressed with his knowledge and skill to deal and move such huge, heavy and delicate panel. Very professional service and I highly recommend.
