Hadleigh Glass: double glazing and home improvements from Suffolk

Hadleigh Glass is a double-glazing and home-improvement company based in Suffolk that describes itself as long-established and family-run. It states that it has been improving customers' homes since 2000 and that it has grown into one of the largest and most respected fabricators of aluminium windows, doors and bi-folds in the South East, a claim the company makes about itself. Its showrooms are spread across Suffolk and North Essex, and it says most of its business arrives through recommendations.

The company presents a complete in-house service covering the whole project, from the first enquiry through product installation to aftercare. It refers to dedicated technical surveyors, experienced installation teams and a Hadleigh Glass AfterCare service as standard.

Windows and double glazing

The window range is organised by material and by type of intervention. In uPVC, Hadleigh Glass designs and installs windows in a range of colours, styles and hardware, presented as thermally efficient and secure. In aluminium, the company highlights slimline profiles and a broad choice of finishes.

• Aluminium windows
• Heritage windows
• Secondary glazing
• Rooflights and lanterns
• uPVC windows
• Double glazing and replacement windows

Replacement windows are pitched around thermal efficiency, kerb appeal, lower maintenance and improved security.

Doors, including the fixed-price bi-fold offer

The door catalogue covers both aluminium and uPVC, with front and back doors, patio doors, French doors, internal doors and screens, plus designer, signature, heritage and composite doors. Aluminium bi-fold doors are a central product.

At the time of writing this profile, the company was running a fixed-price promotion on aluminium bi-fold doors at £900 per section installed. According to its own description, the offer applies to stock colours, is limited in time, uses Smart aluminium systems and includes a 10-year warranty as standard. The doors are surveyed, manufactured and installed by the company's own team, and the promotion is presented as a way to keep lead times tight and pricing clear, without special versions or reduced specifications.

Conservatories, orangeries and extensions

Beyond glazing, Hadleigh Glass designs conservatories in traditional and contemporary styles, with options such as classic dwarf walls or full-height glazing and bi-fold doors, and states that its conservatories include current thermal-performance technology as standard. The range also includes orangeries, roof replacement, garden rooms and home extensions, which the company says it helps design and finishes to a high standard.

Trade and commercial work

The company runs a separate trade line covering aluminium bi-fold doors, aluminium sliding doors and aluminium windows. On the commercial side it lists commercial windows, storefront windows and curtain walling.

Showrooms and the buying process

Hadleigh Glass operates showrooms in Chelmsford, Colchester, Hadleigh and Ipswich. At its show centres, the sales team presents the products in person. The company also publishes brochures for its aluminium doors and aluminium windows, and offers a contact line and a service-call booking option.

Its stated process is built around designing with the customer, answering questions at any stage of the order, and handling survey, installation and aftercare through its own teams.
