Common questions

Frequently asked

What is a traffic door and do I need one? +
A traffic door is one panel that opens like a normal door without folding the rest. If your bi-fold is a main route to the garden, it's well worth having β€” you'll use it every day and save the full fold-back for sunny days.
Do you offer a supply-only service? +
Yes. Made to Measure offer a supply-only service to the trade and DIY enthusiast alike. Because everything is manufactured in our own Grimsby factory we can offer excellent rates and a quick turnaround β€” and we stock the fitting materials you need to complete the job with the minimum of fuss.
Are your quotes really free? +
Completely. We'll measure up, talk through your options and give you a written, no-obligation quote β€” no pressure and no hard sell. Call 01472 241666 or use the contact form.
Who does the installation? +
Our own team. Made to Measure Window Systems is a locally run company employing all local tradesmen, and we're FENSA registered β€” so your installation is certified and your paperwork is taken care of.
How quickly can you turn an order around? +
Faster than most β€” because we manufacture our uPVC windows and doors in-house at our Grimsby factory rather than waiting on a third-party supplier. Lead times vary with the season and the product, and we'll give you an honest timescale with your quote.
