Draughty old windows are one of those problems that’s easy to live with and keep putting off, mostly because replacing them feels like a big cost to find all at once. For homeowners in Poole who’ve been waiting for the right moment, there’s now a genuinely useful reason to look again.
The Warm Homes: Local Grant, part of the government’s wider £6.6 billion Warm Homes Plan, offers up to £15,000 towards energy efficiency upgrades for eligible privately owned and rented homes in England, and runs until March 2028. Double and triple glazing are explicitly listed among the fabric upgrades the grant can help cover.
Even without the grant, the numbers stack up over time. Replacing single glazing with A-rated double glazing can save anywhere from £60 to £175 a year on heating, depending on the size and type of property — so the investment keeps paying for itself long after the installation is done.
The eligibility rules and application process aren’t always straightforward, which is exactly where a proper local trade windows company earns its keep — checking what you qualify for, explaining it in plain English, and recommending the right units for your home rather than a one-size-fits-all package sold over the phone.
DTU Trade Windows has been supplying and fitting windows, doors, and conservatories across Poole for years, and can talk you through what’s available and whether you qualify. Find out more at dtutradewindows.com.
