You may have seen information advertised online about window scrappage and recycling schemes for old and inefficient windows, claiming up to £200 per window off the cost of replacements. Find the answers to some common questions below:
Are grants available for windows & doors?
No - There are no government or local authority grants available for replacement windows and doors.
Schemes advertised are private marketing initiatives used to gather customer data.
Do window scrappage or recycling schemes exist?
There are no official recycling or scrappage schemes available for windows and doors. Window scrappage schemes are simply a marketing tactic used by to increase the number of enquiries from customers believing they will have very little to pay for new windows.
How can it be publicised if it isn't true?
Most of the websites advertising the schemes are run by companies who use this offer to gather the data of customers who are looking for windows and doors, and sell it on to companies who supply them.
Inevitably this leads to your wasted time and disappointment upon the realisation that prices quoted are still unaffordable or no cheaper than other glazing companies.
What happens to the waste plastic?
As a responsible company we will recycle as much waste as possible. Old uPVC is often recycled into internal window parts, or composite decking and the glass melted down and reused.
We do not receive any financial incentive for this.
If you're looking for straightforward pricing and honest information then why not get in touch with us, and see how we can help?
