Fife Windows & Doors

What Fife Windows & Doors does

Fife Windows & Doors Ltd is a family-run, private limited double-glazing installation company headquartered at Eastfield Business Park, Glenrothes, Fife, Scotland. Founded in 1986 by Peter Ness and Brian Mclean as a two-person operation in Leslie, Fife, the business now employs over twenty full-time, professionally trained double-glazing specialists, with founders' wives and sons all involved in operations. The company supplies and installs made-to-measure uPVC windows (Optima range sourced from Profile 22/Epwin Group with U-Value of 1.2W/m2k), GRP composite and PVC entrance doors with Yale 8 multi-point locking, French, patio and aluminium bi-folding doors, bespoke conservatories using Ultraframe roofing systems (including Conservaglass, UltraRoof 380 and Livinroom orangery), and PVC roofline products.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model targeting residential homeowners in Fife and surrounding Scottish regions, with all installation work performed by directly employed fitters rather than subcontractors. Sales are conducted through a purpose-built showroom at Eastfield Business Park displaying 40+ doors and 2 conservatories, supplemented by a website with downloadable brochures and social media presence on Facebook and Twitter. Revenue is generated on a project-by-project quote basis with no deposit required, full payment collected only upon satisfactory completion of work — a policy that aligns incentives with quality delivery. A 10-year workmanship guarantee is provided on all installations, and Fife Trusted Trader Scheme membership (since May 2011) provides third-party Trading Standards endorsement backed by Fife Council and Police Scotland. No external funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no parent company are present in the record.
