The standard we fit to

A look at the finish and quality behind every job, whatever material you choose.

A clean white finish, front elevation
A period elevation, kept looking like one
The kind of natural light a well-fitted window lets in

These are style shots to show the standard, not photos of a completed Poole job. We'll build up a proper local gallery as our own Poole work gets finished.

What Poole brings us, and two things worth knowing

Poole has 16 named conservation areas, more than anywhere else we cover, so plenty of the windows we're asked about sit inside one. Properties near Sandbanks, Baiter and the Quay also sit right on the water, where salt-laden air is a genuine consideration for hardware and finishes, not just a coastal cliché.

  • 16 named conservation areas across Poole, more than any other town we cover
  • Salt-laden air near Sandbanks, Baiter and the Quay wears down unprotected hardware faster
  • A leasehold flat usually needs the freeholder's consent sorted before we can give you a firm quote

The Poole districts we cover, and the numbers that back it up

Being registered in Poole rather than just serving it means there's no cross-town travel added to your job, unlike an installer based over in Bournemouth or Christchurch. It's also why we can say plainly that we're the highest-reviewed of the three real Poole installers, at 5.0 stars from 25 Google reviews, and rank first in Poole for double glazing.

  • No cross-town travel premium, we're already here
  • 5.0★ from 25 Google reviews, the highest count in the Poole pack
  • #1 for double glazing in Poole

What Poole's conditions do to windows here

Three things we see again and again on local jobs.

Conservation-era joinery

Original timber in the Old Town or Canford Cliffs conservation areas that's swollen, rotted or painted shut after decades of weathering.

Coastal hardware wear

Salt-laden air near Sandbanks, Baiter and the Quay corroding unprotected hinges and handles faster than inland.

Leasehold delay

A flat near the harbour where the freeholder's consent hasn't been sorted before the quote stage, holding the whole job up.

How it works, start to finish

No call centre, no hard sell, just Josh.

The survey

Josh comes out and surveys every Poole job himself, measuring up and bringing colour swatches with him.

The quote

We send your measurements to the supplier and come back with a clear, fixed price. No hidden extras.

The fit

Once you're happy, it's 50% deposit, a 3 to 5 week lead time, then the remaining 50% on completion.

The bits people worry about

  • Will the conservation officer say no?

    We can't promise an approval, but we'll survey the job with Poole's conservation rules in mind from the start.

  • Do you actually cover my street?

    If you're anywhere from the Old Town to Sandbanks, Broadstone to Hamworthy, yes.

  • I'm a leaseholder, can I even get a quote?

    Yes. We'll help you work out what your freeholder needs to see first.

Canford Cliffs

so happy with bifold installed, in canford cliffs recommend them has changed our kitchen

peter loveys

If you're looking for a window and door fitter in the Bournemouth/Poole area, honestly just go with Wilshaw. Easy to deal with and they just get the job done.

Natasha Evans

Josh and his team worked incredibly hard replacing all of the windows and doors in our house, including fitting a beautiful bifold door in place of our old French doors. We could not be happier with the results. The quality of the workmanship was excellent, and Josh was fantastic with communication throughout the whole process. He was reliable, professional, and kept us updated every step of the way. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality work and great service.

Do you actually cover my part of Poole, including Sandbanks, Canford Cliffs, Hamworthy, Broadstone and the Old Town?

Yes. We're based in Poole itself, not just serving it, so if you're in Sandbanks, Canford Cliffs, Hamworthy, Broadstone or the Old Town, we cover you.

Will I need permission to replace windows on my house if it's in a conservation area?

It depends on whether your property's in one of Poole's 16 conservation areas. Like-for-like replacement is often permitted development, but we'll flag it at survey if your street needs checking with BCP Council first.

I own a flat near the harbour or Quay. Do I need my freeholder's permission?

Usually, yes. The windows on a leasehold flat are normally part of the building's structure, so the freeholder needs to sign off before work starts. We'll help you work out what to ask for.

What's the average cost for double glazing in Poole?

It depends on the size of the job and the material you choose, so we don't publish a set price. What we do promise is a clear, fixed quote with no hidden extras once we've surveyed the job.

Is there a government grant for double glazing?

There's no blanket grant for replacement windows, though some households qualify for wider home energy schemes. We're happy to point you in the right direction if you're not sure.

What happens after I enquire? Will someone measure up in person?

Josh calls to understand what you're after, then comes out to survey and measure the job himself before sending you a fixed quote.
