Do you need help deciding which window company to choose for your double glazing project? We take a closer look at Anglian to see how it performs in terms of product range, price, quality and warranties.
Anglian was founded in the 1960s as a double glazing company, and has since expanded its offering to include doors and conservatories. Anglian’s window frames are available in uPVC, aluminium or wood, and you can choose from 7 styles: shaped, tilt and turn, casement, flush, cottage, bay and sash.
Anglian’s tilt and turn, casement and sash windows are accredited by the official police security initiative Secured by Design, as they feature a system of shoot bolt locks, key locking handles, multi-point locks and excluder devices to keep your windows secure. You can also opt for triple-glazed glass to ensure your new windows are as secure as possible.
If you are keen to reduce your environmental impact, you will be interested to know that Anglian products hold the Made in Britain mark and are part of the Recovinyl Plus initiative, which helps companies to monitor PVC recycling.
Anglian offers customers a 15-year guarantee on gas-filled windows, and a 10-year guarantee on all parts and labour. Windows and installation can be bought on credit, but Anglian’s 11.9 per cent variable APR is steeper than many finance plans offered by other UK window companies.
Important note: Anglian now owns both the Everest and Safestyle brands, along with their order books and company assets.

Buying your windows from Anglian has the following advantages:
Buying windows from Anglian does have some disadvantages, including:
Call Anglian for an obligation-free quotation. A local design expert will go through the various options with you and take measurements. Your windows are then produced to measure at one of Anglian’s factories in the UK. Once they are ready, the team will contact you to arrange a mutually available time to fit your new windows.
Anglian windows are guaranteed, so you’ll have access to after-sales services. Anglian also has a public online shop where you can buy additional handles and accessories.
Anglian needs to measure your windows in person to produce an accurate quote. However, according to online comparison sites, you can expect to pay the following for a Anglian double glazing windows (60 x 90 cm).
| Material | Cost per window (excluding installation and labour) |
|---|---|
| uPVC | £285 – £650 |
| Aluminium | £540 – £700 |
| Wood | £920 – £1,035 |
Anglian windows are easy to maintain. Wipe down your uPVC window frames at least twice a year with warm soapy water before drying them with a soft cloth. Glass can be cleaned with a simple commercial liquid spray glass cleaner. Don’t use cream or paste-based cleaners on your frames, as they can be abrasive.
Wooden frames require a little more maintenance. You will need to sand them down and repaint them periodically. To avoid damage, prevent water and abrasive cleaning chemicals from coming into contact with the wood. Use vinegar and water or dishwashing soap, and always dry your frames.
As of January 2026, Anglian is rated 4 stars out of 5 on Trustpilot. The company has 59 per cent of 5-star reviews, but a relatively high 18 per cent of 1-star reviews, so opinions are a bit mixed. It’s also worth noting, however, that Anglian has been reviewed over 38,000 times, much more than most of its competitors.
Negative reviews highlight issues such as very high prices (and price increases) or delays in installation and lack of customer care, but there are plenty of happy and repeating customers of the brand too.
“Very efficient service, although installation date not quite the 6 weeks originally quoted but kept informed. Very good quality secondary glazing units neatly installed.
Very pleasant staff throughout. Only let down by scuffs to window sills. Would use again.”
“An absolutely horrid and terrible experience. For a company that’s supposedly so renowned, they have appalling customer service. We reached out to get a job done, paid a deposit, had the surveyor come and agreed to the additional costs that the job required. But we’ve had no communication with them for over 3 months aside from when they wanted more money. We wrote a complaint on their appalling service and rather dealing with us, they decided to refund the deposit with no word as to why. The PA, regional manager and sales rep have all been absolutely appalling in simply dealing with our query. They did not provide us an itemised bill and charged us twice for a part of the job, and despite all of that, all we’ve asked is an itemised bill so we know what we’re paying for and so we know exactly what our total cost is, they’ve decided to cancel our job and refunded the deposit without our request to do so.”
A wide variety of designs, styles and colour options coupled with 10 to 15-year warranties, finance plans and decades of experience in the industry makes Anglian a good choice for most homeowners.
While its warranties and credit options aren’t quite as favourable as those of Everest and other competitors, the price tag is a little lower. You can expect the quality of Anglian’s products to match some of the more premium brands on the market.
Online customer reviews (and professional reviews) are largely favourable, but there are a few complaints about installation service that should be taken into account.
All in all, if you are looking for a high-quality product and a fair guarantee, Anglian is a top contender. We also like that you can order handles and replacement parts directly from Anglian’s online shop whenever you need them.
Unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (uPVC), which is in the form of a powder, is melted and injected into frame moulds. Once cooled, it’s assembled into the various styles of double glazed units, with the window furniture added in situ. uPVC windows are durable, long lasting and easy to maintain.
Although the longevity of double glazing is dependent on the quality of the window units and their installation, in general, they remain viable for between 25 and 30 years. uPVC windows can last for over 35 years, with very little maintenance.
While Anglian took over Everest’s assets and order books when the company fell into administration, Everest is still being run as its own, separate brand with the same warranties and products as before.
Adding double glazing to your existing single glazed windows is possible: it’s known as secondary glazing, which consists in adding extra frame containing a single pane of glass fixed to the inside of your current windows.
Whilst secondary glazing offers many of the same benefits that double glazing does, such as heat insulation and sound proofing, it can increase the chance of condensation.
