Explore GFD Homes —part of the GFD Trading brand— for top-quality windows and doors, instant quotes, expert support, and a stress-free way to transform your home.
Introduction
Let’s be honest – buying new windows and doors shouldn’t feel like haggling for a used car. But sadly, in the world of home improvements, it often does. From inflated quotes and relentless sales tactics to vague pricing and confusing product comparisons, many homeowners walk away from the experience feeling more anxious than excited.
At GFD Homes, we believe it should be the complete opposite. That’s why we’ve built our entire approach around honesty, education, and empowering you to make the right decision – not what’s most profitable for us.
The Fenestration Frustration: Common Customer Pain Points
Whether you’re replacing a draughty front door or adding a stunning set of sliding doors to open up your garden, most people come to us with the same concerns:
1. Pushy Salespeople
Many installers still operate with old-school “sign today or the price goes up” tactics. It’s uncomfortable, it’s outdated – and frankly, it’s not right.
What we do instead:
You won’t find any high-pressure sales reps at GFD Homes. Instead, our team is made up of expert advisors. They’re here to answer your questions, compare your options, and guide you through what’s best for you – not what’s best for their commission.
2. Confusing Quotes & Jargon
Ever tried comparing two quotes and felt like you were looking at different species of doors entirely? Many quotes hide behind buzzwords and vague specs that make true comparison near impossible.
The GFD way:
We’ll help you compare apples with apples. If you’ve got another quote, we’ll happily look over it with you – side-by-side – and explain exactly what’s included. No smoke. No mirrors.
3. “Too Good to Be True” Pricing
It’s not uncommon to be quoted £X at the start, only to find yourself paying £XX once the “extras” are revealed.
Why we show prices upfront:
We believe in transparent pricing from day one. That means you’ll know what you’re paying before you commit – no nasty surprises down the road.
How GFD Homes Makes It Easy – No Matter What You’re Buying
We offer a wide range of high-quality home improvement products across 10 main categories. Each comes with its own challenges and questions – and we’re ready for all of them.

GFD Difference: Our blog is full of guides comparing styles, cores, and locks. We also offer Solidor and Compdoor ranges, so we can recommend what’s best for you – not just what’s in stock.

Worry: Will I lose insulation or have drainage issues with low thresholds?
GFD Difference: We’ve written full guides on everything to do with bifolds and sliding doors and only recommend systems with the right performance – like Korniche Bi-Folds or Cortizo Sliders.
Windows
Worry: Should I go for aluminium or uPVC? Are triple glazed units worth it?
GFD Difference: We’ll talk you through the options. Want low-maintenance and budget-friendly? Check out Deceuninck uPVC. Want ultra-modern? Try Smart Alitherm aluminium.
Roof Lanterns & Lights
