There’s something incredibly satisfying about seeing a home refreshed with new windows—especially when it’s pulled off as perfectly as it was for Mr & Mrs Willis of Burgh le Marsh. With warm brick tones and a timeless design, their home already had character in spades. But as anyone who owns a classic Lincolnshire property knows, keeping it looking sharp while maximising energy performance can be a real juggling act.
The Challenge: Outdated Windows Dimming the Glow
Like many homes in our region, the Willis’ property had started to suffer from tired, old window units. Draughts creeping in, frames losing their structural integrity, and that ever-so-slight misting between the panes—classic signs of aging windows doing their best, but ultimately letting the side down.
Visually, the existing frames didn’t quite do the house justice anymore. The contrast between the beautiful brickwork and the dulling finish of the old windows made the home appear more dated than its bones deserved. Just as importantly, the Willis’ began to notice their energy bills creeping up as their windows failed to retain warmth efficiently.
Why Roofriendly? A Trusted Local Name with Real Advice
With so many home improvement companies out there, how do you pick one that you can trust to treat your home like their own? Mr & Mrs Willis told us it was our reputation for spot-on advice and being a trustworthy local firm that sealed the deal.
They’d heard of friends in nearby villages who had used Roofriendly and couldn’t stop talking about the quality of finish and how well the new windows matched the character of older properties. It’s not just about replacing a window—it’s about enhancing a home without losing its charm. That’s something we take immense pride in perfecting.
The Installation: Precision Matters
After a thorough home survey and consultation, the Willis’ chose crisp white UPVC frames to complement their home’s warm tones and traditional lines. At first glance, you might think white is a simple choice, but getting the right finish and contrast is where experience counts.
Our expert installation team arrived on schedule, walked the couple through each stage of the process, and took care to protect every part of the property while removing the old units. Every window was fitted with precision, ensuring airtight sealing, smooth operation, and a perfect visual fit with the existing brickwork. All debris and old materials were cleared, and the final walkthrough ensured the couple were confident and comfortable with the product and the process.
The Results: Style, Light, and Efficiency
The transformation was immediate. Natural light flooded in where once the old frames had dulled and constricted it. From the outside, the house now boasts crisp, clear lines that lift its overall appeal, blending modern efficiency with traditional character.
But it’s not all about looks. These new A-rated UPVC windows offer far better insulation, meaning the Willis’ will feel the difference in comfort levels and energy savings year-round. Less noise, less draught, and less wasteful heating. And of course, they’ve boosted the property’s kerb appeal and resale value in the process.
