1. How much can upgrading my windows and doors improve energy efficiency in my home?

Replacing old single or double glazing with our modern A+ rated windows and doors in Exmouth, Budleigh, or across the South West can greatly reduce heat loss, lower energy bills, and even improve your home’s EPC rating.

Improving your EPC doesn’t just save energy — it can also increase the value of your home by up to 14% according to Energy Performance Solutions.

2. Are new windows and doors more secure than my existing ones?
Yes. Our replacement windows and composite doors come with advanced multi-point locking systems and are Secured by Design accredited. If you’re upgrading your home in Budleigh Salterton, Exmouth, Torbay, Plymouth, or Somerset, you can be confident your property will be more secure.

3. Do I need planning permission for a new conservatory in Devon?
Most conservatories we install in Exmouth, East Devon, and the South West fall under permitted development and don’t need planning permission. For larger or bespoke designs, we’ll handle the advice and guidance to keep your project compliant.

4. What guarantees do Driftwood Home Improvements provide?
All of our windows, doors, and conservatories are backed by a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, and as a FENSA-registered installer, we ensure your installation meets all current building regulations.

5. How long does it take to install new windows, doors, or a conservatory?
Most window and door replacements in Exmouth and surrounding areas take just 1–3 days, depending on the size of the project. Conservatories take longer, but we’ll give you a clear schedule before we begin.

6. Can I customise the design of my new windows, doors, or conservatory?
Yes! We offer a huge choice of colours, foiled finishes, glazing options, and hardware so your new windows or conservatory perfectly match your property — whether it’s a modern home in Exeter or a traditional property in Budleigh Salterton.

7. What happens to my old windows, doors, or conservatory after replacement?
When we fit your new windows, doors, or conservatory in the South West, we’ll carefully remove and recycle of your old frames, glass, and waste materials — leaving your home clean and ready to enjoy.
