Below are some tips to help you source non-standard windows and doors that will look fantastic when installing them on your property.
Know What You Need
The first thing you will need to do is know what you need precisely. You will need to measure the windows and doors you are looking to replace and measure them carefully.

Once you know what you need for your property, you can begin searching for a reputable supplier that can make your non-standard windows and doors.
Search Using The Internet
You will want to begin your search using your preferred search engine and include your geographic region, which can narrow down your search. For example, you can search for “bespoke doors Oxfordshire” if this is where you are located, and the results should show companies offering this service in the Oxfordshire area. The chances are that you will need a company that provides bespoke windows and doors when the ones you have are a non-standard size, which will cost a little more. You will want to create a list of potential companies that you can use and then do a little digging on each of them.
Look At Their Reputations
Before contacting companies, you will want to narrow down your search and look at the companies’ online reputations that made it to your list. You can use independent review websites to see what previous customers say about their experiences, and you can also use social media to assist you. Companies will often post images of the latest jobs they have completed on their social media channels, so you can look at these to see the standard of work they provide. Once you have narrowed down your list further, you can start contacting the companies left on your list.
Get Quotes For Your Windows & Doors
You can now contact the remaining companies on your list and give them all the required information to provide you with an accurate quote for your windows and doors. As mentioned previously, you will most likely pay a little more for them if they are of a non-standard size, so you need to ensure you have a sufficient budget available. Once you have received all the quotes from the various companies, you will need to compare them together. The price is a vital factor to consider, and so is the materials they will use for the project. However, you will also need to look at the company’s availability and how quickly they can complete the work for you. Take your time deciding which company to use, and you can select one that will provide you with high-quality doors and windows for your property and transform the way it looks and feels.
