N & P Windows

What N & P Windows does

N & P Windows is a privately held UK manufacturer and installer of PVCu and aluminium fenestration products, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Shefford with a manufacturing facility and showroom in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. The company fabricates double-glazed windows, doors, and conservatories in-house and installs them via eight employed fitting teams, serving both residential homeowners and commercial/public-sector clients across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, North London, and Middlesex. Its product range spans casement, sliding sash, tilt-and-turn, Georgian, shaped, leaded, and horned windows; PVCu and aluminium bi-fold doors; a composite County Collection door range; aluminium curtain walling and shop front systems via partnerships with Sapa (Norsk Hydro), Smart Wall Systems, and Kolorbond; and six conservatory styles.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market model: direct-to-consumer sales through in-home designer consultations, an online quote tool, and a physical showroom, combined with a Select Installer channel partner programme (e.g., Custom Glaze in Milton Keynes) and direct commercial contracts with local authorities, housing associations, the Ministry of Defence, and major UK construction primes such as Wates, Kier, and Vinci Facilities. Pricing is quote-based with free no-obligation home consultations; the company publishes no rate cards. Revenue derives entirely from one-time sale-and-installation project work, with no recurring subscription or service contracts.

The business is differentiated by 40+ years of local brand equity (over 35,000 homes and businesses served, 40,000+ windows installed), FENSA and TrustMark registration, Secured by Design and PAS23/24 certifications, BRE Green Guide A/A+ ratings, and BBA approval. The founding directors remain in place, and the company operates without disclosed external investment, private equity backing, or M&A activity.
