Who We Are
The GFD Group have been trading for over ten years in the home improvement industry, and are proud to have secured over 10,000 homes in that time. We have an extensive background in the fenestration industry, and have expanded our product portfolio over the past decade to offer a complete home renovation solution.
We believe our success is down to our transparent business model. We do not employ dated sales tactics such as home sales visits of ’special’ offers. We prefer to build rapport with our customers, advise the best options and deliver the the service we promise.
Our Story
Coming from a lifelong background in the double glazing industry, we began trading online in 2008. Our core product offering was composite doors, and we were one of the first companies in the UK to pioneer online ordering for this product. Since then, we have expanded our portfolio of products across a range of composite, aluminium, uPVC and security products. Our goal was always to offer a complete home improvement solution, which we now carry out nationwide through GFD Homes.
What We Can Offer
We have always offered our products either on a supply only basis or with a complete survey and installation option. We understand they every customer is different - some prefer to source their own fitting, some can do it themselves and others prefer us to handle everything. No matter which option you choose, you are guaranteed an exceptional level of service.
Why We Are Different
From day one we have always strived to be different from the traditional double glazing mentality. We provide the opposite business model from the traditional ‘pressure selling’, and believe transparency with our customers is the key to our continued success.

Premium Installation Service
In 2010 we partnered exclusively with one of the UK’s largest installation companies, and since then we have been transforming homes across the UK. The service we offer is far cry from the sub contractor option most online retailers employ, as all our of installers are directly employed, uniformed professionals with extensive training.
As we only provide premium products, it’s essential the quality of the installation and workmanship reflects this. Our fitting staff are product trained and vetted by independant bodies, so we know that all work is carried out to the highest standard every time. Why else would we offer a 5 year installation guarantee as standard?
"Sub-contractors may cost less to begin with, but consider the cost after repeated visits to rectify issues. We will do the job once and get it right first time."

Supply Only (DIY)
Our supply only (or DIY) option is perfect if you do not require our installation service. Some of our customers may have their own tradesmen lined up to fit the products, or may be fitting themselves. This option means that you will provide the sizes and we make the products to your measurements and deliver to site for you.
This is a worthwhile option if you have tradesmen on site who may be able to offer reduced labour costs. We also offer assistance if required when placing a DIY order, and we are happy to speak to your builder, architect or project manager on any technical matters to make the process smoother for you.
"We can deliver to most parts of mainland UK, and no matter where you are delivery is always FREE. Our lead times are the fastest in the business."
