If you're unsure whether we come to you, call 01422 752025 and we'll confirm.

Steven has been working with windows and doors for over fifteen years, starting out on the manufacturing side of the trade for twelve years before moving into installation. Valley Windows Halifax was set up so customers could deal with one experienced fitter from first measure to final clean-up.

Yes. We carry full public liability insurance for every job, and all our installations are fitted to UK Building Regulations. We'll happily show proof of insurance before we start work on your property.

Yes. Every quote is free and no-obligation. We come out to measure, talk through options in person, and give you a written price. Call 01422 752025 or use the quote form and we'll be in touch within one working day.

No. We don't charge anything to come out, measure up, and give you a written quote. You only pay when you're happy with the price and you've agreed to the job.

We accept bank transfers and cash. For larger projects we can agree a staged payment plan, typically a deposit before ordering materials and the balance on completion. Card payments may be available on request.

Casement windows (top-hung or side-hung openers), bay windows for period and contemporary properties, and vertical sliding sash windows for homes wanting the classic sash look without the maintenance of timber. We talk you through the options during the quote visit.

Yes. Old frame removal, safe disposal and full clean-up are included as standard. We make sure the property is left tidy at the end of each day so you're not living in a building site.

Most full-house window jobs take one to three days depending on the size of the property and the number of windows. A single window or two-window replacement is usually a same-day job. We'll always give you a realistic timeline during the quote so you can plan around the work.

Yes. All the windows we fit come with a manufacturer-backed guarantee covering the frames, sealed units and hardware. We also stand behind our own installation work, so if anything isn't right we'll come back and sort it.

Yes. The composite doors we fit use multi-point hook locking, anti-drill cylinders and reinforced frames as standard. We fit Ultion 3-star Kitemark cylinders on every composite door, which are approved under Secured by Design and recommended by the Master Locksmiths Association.

A single front door change typically takes between half a day and a full day depending on any frame adjustments or threshold work needed. We'll confirm the timing during the quote visit once we've seen the existing door and frame.

Composite doors come in a wide range of colours and timber-grain finishes, from classic whites and blacks to anthracite greys and traditional reds and greens. We bring sample boards to the quote visit so you can see and feel the finishes in person before you commit.

Sometimes, yes, depending on the condition, age and type of the existing frame. We'll check during the quote visit and give you a straight answer. If the frame needs replacing too we'll explain why, and factor it into the price.

uPVC doors suit back doors, utility rooms, and budget front doors where security and aesthetics still matter but price is a bigger factor. Composite is the premium choice with better thermal performance and a more traditional look. uPVC is still a solid, secure option at a lower price point.

A well-fitted uPVC door will typically give you fifteen to twenty-five years of service with minimal maintenance. Quality matters, we use quality hinges, locks and frames that stand up to everyday use, not the cheapest spec on the market.

Yes. Modern uPVC doors meet current UK Building Regulations for thermal performance and use sealed double-glazed panels as standard. They're a significant upgrade over any door more than 15 years old.

Plenty. Most customers go for white, anthracite grey or a woodgrain finish such as rosewood or golden oak. We bring sample boards to the quote visit so you can see the finishes in person.

Bi-fold systems typically run from 2 panels up to 7. We recommend a configuration based on your opening width and how you want to use the space. Some customers prefer a traffic door for everyday use; others want the full opening for weekend entertaining.

Yes. The systems we fit have multi-point locking, anti-lift features, and toughened double glazing as standard. They're as secure as any standard door when closed and locked, and the hardware is specifically designed to resist forced entry along the track.

Bi-fold pricing depends heavily on size, number of panels, glazing spec and frame material. For most domestic installations, expect pricing to start from around £3,000 fitted. We'll give you a clear, fixed quote after we've measured and talked through the spec.

Often yes, provided the opening is structurally suitable and the threshold can accommodate the running track. We'll survey the opening during the quote and tell you exactly what's possible, and flag any structural work needed before we can fit.

Patio doors slide horizontally on a track, great for maximising clear glass area in a smaller footprint. French doors are hinged and swing open like a pair of traditional doors. Patio suits modern extensions and small living rooms; French doors suit traditional properties or where a symmetrical look matters.

Not the modern ones. Current sliding patio systems use multi-point locking and proper brush seals, so they're well-insulated and draught-free when closed. The issue with draughty patio doors almost always comes from worn-out old systems, a modern replacement makes a noticeable difference.

The systems we fit use multi-point hook locks, anti-lift mechanisms and toughened double glazing. Anti-lift stops the door being levered off the track, which is the classic attack on old patio doors. Properly specified, patio doors are as secure as any other exterior door.

Yes, as long as the structural work is completed by a competent builder. We handle the door supply, fit and glazing. We're happy to work alongside your builder or recommend trusted locals if you need one.

Most conservatories fall under Permitted Development and don't need planning permission, but it depends on size, position and property type. Listed buildings, flats, and homes in conservation areas have different rules. We'll flag any concerns during the quote visit and recommend you check with your local planning office if in doubt.

We take on standard uPVC conservatories including lean-to, Victorian and Edwardian shapes, which are the most common styles on West Yorkshire properties. For more complex orangery-style builds or large extensions, we're happy to quote and work alongside a builder on the groundwork and roof.

Most conservatories take two to four weeks depending on the groundwork, base construction and the weather. The uPVC and glazing stage is typically the quickest part; groundwork and brickwork take most of the time. We'll give you a realistic timeline during the quote.

We can include the base and building work in a full quote, or we can work alongside a builder of your choosing. Our specialism is the uPVC frames, glazing and roof system. Groundwork and brickwork can be priced separately or bundled into one quote, whichever suits you.
