Double Glazing For Crediton's Varied Housing Stock
Crediton has one of the more varied housing mixes in mid-Devon. The town centre and the roads close to the parish church have Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semi-detached properties, many of which still have their original single-glazed sash or casement windows or early double glazing from the 1990s that's well past its best. The residential streets running north towards the A377 - East Street, Chapel Street, Park Street - have a mix of older and interwar housing where early failed double glazing is common.
Further out, Crediton has significant areas of modern estate housing - particularly on the western side of town - where the double glazing is more recent but can still be at the point where unit seals are failing or the specification was never adequate to begin with. In all cases, A-rated glazing with warm-edge spacer bars and low-e coatings delivers genuinely better heat retention than the units being replaced.
We cover Crediton town and the surrounding villages including Sandford, Copplestone, Morchard Bishop, Bow and the Yeo valley corridor. All work is FENSA registered with a 10-year workmanship guarantee.

Double Glazing Options We Fit In Crediton
A-Rated Double Glazing
The standard we fit on all Crediton projects. A-rated units use low-e glass coatings, warm-edge spacer bars and argon gas fill. The combination delivers a U-value around 1.4 W/m²K - roughly twice as good as standard double glazing. Rooms are noticeably warmer in the colder months and heating bills measurably lower.
Triple Glazing
Three panes and two sealed cavities give a U-value below 1.0 W/m²K. For Crediton properties with large north or west-facing glazed areas, exposed gable walls or properties that run consistently cold, triple glazing can deliver a meaningful improvement. The additional cost is offset by better heating bill savings over the frame's life.
Acoustic Glazing
For Crediton properties close to the A377 or the main railway line through the town, acoustic glazing uses laminated glass and an asymmetric cavity to reduce traffic and rail noise. An upgrade worth considering for any street-facing rooms on the main road corridors.
Glazing Unit Replacement
If the frame is in good condition but the sealed unit has failed and misting has appeared, we can replace the glazing unit only without replacing the whole window. This is more cost-effective where frames are sound and the glazing specification is simply the weak point - common in Crediton's 1980s and 1990s housing stock.
Why Replace Your Windows In Crediton Now
A-rated vs old unit = half the heat loss
A-rated glazing is around twice as thermally efficient as standard double glazing. For Crediton properties with older units at end of life, replacement delivers a genuine improvement in warmth and lower heating bills.
Misted glass is failed insulation
Misting inside the panes means the seal has gone and the argon gas fill has been lost. The unit is performing at single-glazing level while the property owner pays for a double-glazed property. Worth acting on sooner rather than later.
Security upgrade on older frames
Original 1980s and 1990s frame hardware often has single-point locking at best. Modern frames with multi-point locks, anti-drill cylinders and shoot bolts provide substantially better protection.
More than just white
Modern window specification includes woodgrain and coloured finishes that suit Crediton's older and character properties better than plain white uPVC. We'll discuss options at the survey.
Reduce condensation and damp
Warm-edge spacer bars keep the glass edge warmer, reducing condensation on the inner pane - a particular issue in Crediton's valley position where overnight temperatures drop and interior condensation on older windows can be problematic.
Property value
New double glazing is referenced explicitly in EPC ratings and noted positively by surveyors and buyers. In Crediton's active property market, windows in good condition and up to modern specification are a practical selling point.

Factory manufacture

Installation and sign-off
Old frames out, new frames in. Level, plumb and sealed correctly. All hardware tested. FENSA certificate issued on the day.
Our Guarantee
Every window and door we install is backed by a 10-year workmanship guarantee. That covers the fitting itself - how the frame sits in the opening, how it's sealed, how the hardware operates. If anything we've done causes a problem within ten years, we come back and fix it.
The glazing units themselves also carry a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee against seal failure and condensation between the panes. Both guarantees are issued in writing on completion of the job, alongside your FENSA certificate. When you come to sell, your solicitor will ask for these documents - we make sure you have everything you need.
The guarantee only stands if the product is correctly installed. That's why we don't rush surveys, we don't cut corners on preparation, and we don't send crews who don't know what they're doing. The guarantee is only as good as the quality of the work behind it.

"Crediton has a high proportion of pre-war housing stock where the original glazing is either failing or was never energy-efficient - A-rated double glazing makes a more noticeable difference to heat retention in these properties than in newer builds."

What Crediton Customers Say
Genuine feedback from homeowners across Exeter and the surrounding area
"Had all eight windows replaced in our 1970s house in Heavitree. The team arrived on time, laid dust sheets throughout and were done in two days. Biggest difference is the warmth - no more draught across the living room floor in January. Really happy with the whole job."
Karen T. — Heavitree, Exeter
"I got three quotes. These were the only company who actually came out and measured properly before pricing - the others just asked for the number of windows and gave me a number over the phone. The price was competitive and the job was done cleanly. Would use again without hesitation."
Mark R. — Topsham
"Secondary glazing fitted throughout our listed cottage near the Cathedral Close. They knew the planning restrictions before I'd even finished explaining and recommended exactly the right product. The noise reduction from the road is noticeable immediately. Brilliant from start to finish."
Sarah M. — St Leonard's, Exeter
"Composite front door replaced after the old one warped and stopped sealing properly. The new door is solid, the fitting is neat and they took the old door away. Got our FENSA certificate in the post a few days later. Exactly what you want - no fuss, job done."
David H. — Pinhoe, Exeter
"Bi-fold doors fitted to the rear of our extension in St Thomas. The difference to the kitchen is incredible - it feels like a completely different room when they're open onto the garden. The team were tidy, professional and explained everything clearly throughout. Top marks."
Claire W. — St Thomas, Exeter

See our full window installation cost guide →Common Questions About Double Glazing In Crediton
How long do double glazed windows last in Crediton?
Sealed glazing units typically last 15-20 years. Crediton avoids coastal salt air that shortens seal life, but valley moisture and higher rainfall still work on seals. North and west-facing windows tend to fail sooner.
Do I need planning permission to replace windows in Crediton?
Most properties don't need planning permission for like-for-like replacement. Conservation area restrictions apply near Crediton's historic centre. Listed buildings always need listed building consent. All our work is FENSA registered.
Can I replace just the glass rather than the whole window?
If the frame is in good condition, yes - unit-only replacement costs considerably less than full replacement. We'll assess the frame condition at the survey.
Does Crediton's valley position affect window choice?
The valley position means persistent damp on north-facing elevations. We recommend A-rated glazing across all elevations and frame materials that manage moisture well - typically uPVC or aluminium rather than untreated timber.
