Safestyle double glazing windows review (now part of Anglian Home Improvements)

Safestyle, now part of Anglian Home Improvements, was founded in the early 1990s in South Yorkshire. Today, it’s one of the largest double glazing window companies in the UK, with over one million customers having chosen Safestyle windows or doors.

The company sells high-quality double glazing products and is focused on continual improvement in terms of environmental impact, energy efficiency and security. Safestyle has a number of accreditations, including FENSA and TrustMark.

Customers can choose between 5 window styles – sash, bay, tilt and turn, casement and French, each available in a choice of 10 colours, including 3 wood-style finishes. Glass options include bevelled, fret, lead or obscure glass.

Safestyle double glazing windows are not accredited by Secured By Design, but they do feature a range of security features ranging from the Trident high-security espagnolette locking system on casement windows to the ProLinea handles on the tilt and turn windows . All windows feature internal beading and multipoint locking systems to protect your home against intruders.

Safestyle windows perform well in terms of energy efficiency, but their A rating for is lower than some other double glazed windows on the market.

Safestyle’s uPVC line is quite affordable compared to brands. The company even offers a price-matching guarantee, whereby it will match competitors’ quotes, provided they are comparable with its own products. This even applies to deals and promotions.

All windows come with a transferable 15-year product warranty which covers locks and hinges.

There are always advantages and disadvantages to consider before choosing a window company for your home project. Here are the upsides and downsides of using Safestyle.

Pros:

• Lowest price guarantee: Safestyle will price-match any competitor’s quote if the product is of the same quality, size and design as the Safestyle product. This even applies to competitor deals and promotions.
• Good reputation: As of January 2026, Safestyle has a 3.6-star Trustpilot rating from over 48,500 reviews.
• Safestyle is eco-conscious: Safestyle operates its own recycling centres across the UK and will buy back old windows from customers.

Cons:

• uPVC only: Safestyle focuses on uPVC windows and doesn’t offer composite, timber or aluminium products. However, the uPVC frames are available in wood-style finishes if that’s the aesthetic you’re looking for.
• Pushy sales staff: Safestyle was fined for its pushy sales tactics back in 2018. However, it now has an ethical business accreditation from the Association of Professional Sales. This, combined with Safestyle’s positive customer reviews indicates pushy sales tactics may be a thing of the past.

You can get a quote from Safestyle via an online form or over the phone. A representative will visit your property to take measurements, discuss your requirements, and the aesthetic you’re going for. They will then provide a quote which will remain valid for 12 months.

Next, a Safestyle surveyor will visit your property to take final measurements and confirm your product choices. When you are happy, your order will be finalised and production will begin on the units in Safestyle’s Yorkshire factory.

Your surveyor will have arranged an installation date and given you a contract to sign, and once the windows have been manufactured, installation can go ahead. Your old windows will be carefully removed and sent away for recycling.

After your replacement windows have been fitted, Safestyle won’t take a payment until they receive confirmation that you are happy with the installation and product. You’ll also get a 15-year guarantee for peace of mind.

Safestyle windows vary in terms of cost depending on what style and finish you go for. uPVC windows are generally cheaper compared to aluminium and timber, and this is the only option Safestyle sells. You can expect to pay less for casement windows than styles such as sash or bay. Ultimately, the price will depend on how many windows you require and what style you choose.

Here’s what you can expect to pay for standard uPVC windows:

You might not need to pay for your new windows upfront. Safestyle offers three finance options:

• Two-year interest-free credit (requires a 20 per cent deposit and £100 surveyor’s fee)
• One-year “buy now, pay later” scheme (12.9 per cent APR representative)
• Low-rate interest-bearing credit (10.9 per cent APR representative).

uPVC windows are very easy to maintain. The frames need to be wiped down twice a year with soapy water and dried with a soft cloth, with abrasive paste or cream-based cleaners avoided. 

Clean your glass with a standard commercial liquid window glass cleaner, or if you prefer a more eco friendly clean, a mix of vinegar and water in a spray bottle.

“Happy with the the new door and windows and got a great price and good service.”

• Carl, December 2025, via Trustpilot

“Terrible communication. Our measurements were taken weeks ago and all I want is a rough idea of when to expect installation. I have called twice and both times told to expect a call back, which never came, I’ve sent multiple emails, to no reply. I have no idea if they will be fitted in the next 3 days, 3 weeks or 3 months as no one is replying to me.”

Our recommendation

Safestyle produces high-quality uPVC window frames in a range of styles and colours.

Safestyle is one of the UK’s newer window companies, and it is currently being run by Anglian after it went into administration in 2023. The company offers more competitive prices than many other UK brands, but companies such as Anglian and Everest offer a wider range of products and more energy efficient solutions.

However, Safestyle’s recent reviews on Trustpilot are overwhelmingly negative, calling out a range of issues from installation delays to lack of after-sales care.

Our methodology

To compile this Safestyle windows review objectively, we read hundreds of customer testimonials, technical documentation and media articles. We then rated the company to see how it fares against other UK window brands. We considered the following criteria in our evaluation:

• The warranty period;
• The company’s years of experience;
• The number of payment options;
• The total rating score of the company held on Trustpilot; and
• Additional benefits (including FENSA certification, design options, customer support and the inclusion of trickle vents).
