BOWALKER Windows was set up just 16 months ago by Anthony Bowyer and Peter Walker after becoming dissatisfied with working for others and the way those people wanted to operate.

In this short space of time they have built up a sound reputation for quality and service, you can read some of the reviews at http//:www.checkatrade.com/bowalkerwindowsltd Peter say’s to some degree we wanted to change the way double glazing companies operate, and I am not saying all companies are bad, there are some good people in the industry, but we wanted to control what we did, we want to give the customer what they want, if it is possible to do, we will do it, but the customer also needs good advice, we would rather not install a product that does not look right for the property, our aim is simple, do the job correctly and to a high standard hopefully resulting in further recommendations or even for that customer to use us again.

We offer a wide range of products, visit us at http//:www.bowalkerwindows.co.uk

We use top quality products and we probably have one of the most efficient ‘A’ rated energy windows available, we are registered with British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC) and the energy certificate carries our name not our suppliers, we are also members of FENSA and The Plastics Window Federation (PWF), FENSA ensure we comply with current building regulations when installing windows and doors, PWF gives our customers deposit indemnity and a 10yr insurance backed guarantee, benefits that we hope our customers will never have to use, we are not planning on going anywhere.

We do not use salespeople, all sales calls are undertaken by me or Anthony, this enables us to be very competitive as we do not have inflate our price in order to pay a commission.

When we set up in October 2009 everything was against us, wrong time of year, the worst recession we have ever had and then we were hit by the snow, people thought we were mad, however we have enjoyed a successful first year in business to such a degree that we have set up a second company (The Window Supplies Centre) dedicated to the supply only side of our business. The business is not just dedicated to the supply of windows and doors, we also stock fascia, soffits, guttering and downpipes, window trims, silicones, glues and fixings, in fact everything you would need to complete an installation without having to go shopping around for it, saving our customers both time and more importantly money, it’s all here. And of course we offer a delivery service.

BOWALKER Windows Director Anthony Bowyer comments ‘that our location just off the A23 at Hickstead enables us to be easily accessible to our customers and we have ample parking. We can service a large area from this location, in fact we cover the whole of Sussex and Surrey, and we also do a lot of work in London and have even worked as far afield as Leamington Spa due to a recommendation from a satisfied customer locally.
