Inspired Glazing supplies and fits uPVC windows and doors in Datchet using the Selecta Advance 70 system, alongside composite front doors, for everything from cottages near the church to family houses along Horton Road. Our team drives over from Coningsby Farm in Fifield, under five miles away in a straight line and usually 15 to 20 minutes by road through Windsor, so a free survey is simple to arrange.

Datchet houses and the glazing they suit
Datchet grew up around the old ferry crossing to Windsor, and its centre still gathers around St Mary’s church, rebuilt in 1860 with an unusual octagonal tower. Period cottages and Victorian and Edwardian villas sit close to the middle of the village, while inter-war semis and later estates spread out towards Southlea Road, the station and the Horton side. One road might call for cottage windows with slim glazing bars, and the next for a clean flush casement in grey.
Conservation area, floods and aircraft noise
Datchet is a designated conservation area in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. If your home falls inside the boundary or is listed, check with RBWM before changing the appearance of front windows or doors; our note on planning permission for replacement windows sets out the general position. Where original frames must stay, secondary glazing fitted on the inside is often the sensible route.
Most of the village lies in Flood Zones 2 and 3, and water got into homes on Priory Way, Elmcroft and Horton Road in February 2014. Windsor and Datchet residents have also raised Heathrow aircraft noise with the airport for years. Our sound-reducing windows page explains how laminated acoustic glass and a wider cavity help in bedrooms facing the worst of it.
Built on Selecta Advance 70
Every uPVC frame we fit uses Selecta Advance 70, a 70mm profile with five thermal chambers. Selecta quotes a U-value of 1.1 W/m²K with a 28mm double glazed unit and 0.8 W/m²K with a 40mm triple glazed unit, and lists its casement windows at an A+ window energy rating. Casements are tested to PAS 24 and Secured by Design when correctly specified. For how window energy ratings are calculated, see our energy-rated windows guide.
Window styles we make for Datchet
- Casement and flush casement: the usual choice for semis and newer homes, with the flush sash sitting level with the outer frame for a crisp, timber-like line.
- Sash windows: for Victorian villas we can talk through uPVC sash windows; ask us to confirm what suits your openings.
- Tilt and turn: tilt and turn windows open inwards for cleaning and tilt for secure ventilation, which suits flats and upstairs rooms.
- Bay, bow, cottage and shaped windows: bay windows and arched or angled shapes are made to measure for older frontages.
Colours and glass choices
Selecta offers 18 Colourfoil finishes, applied to one or both faces, including Anthracite Grey, Slate Grey, Ulti-Matt Black and woodgrain foils such as Golden Oak, Rosewood and Irish Oak. Our window colours page shows how grey and black sit against Datchet brick. We do not make timber windows or doors, so woodgrain uPVC is the timber-look option. Glass can be toughened, laminated, obscured for bathrooms or triple glazed.
Doors for the front, back and garden
A uPVC or composite door with multi-point locking makes a secure entrance, and our front doors page shows panel and glazing styles. At the back, uPVC back doors and French doors in a matching foil suit kitchens and dining rooms, and Selecta’s MASTERslide patio doors give a wide sliding opening onto the garden. Stable doors are available on request; ask us to confirm the details. We can also talk through door security upgrades and smart locks at the survey.
Repairs, replacements and costs
Misted sealed units, sagging sashes and tired hinges can often be put right without new frames, and we will tell you plainly when a repair is enough. When frames are past saving, replacement makes more sense. Our double glazing cost guide explains what affects a quote, and the full uPVC windows and doors range is on one page.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need permission to replace windows in Datchet village centre?
Datchet is a designated conservation area within the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. Replacing like for like on an ordinary house is often fine, but changes to the appearance of front windows or doors, or any work on a listed building, should be checked with RBWM first. We can supply drawings and foil samples to help with any application.
Will acoustic glass help with Heathrow aircraft noise in Datchet?
It can make a noticeable difference indoors. Laminated acoustic glass, a wider gap between panes or a 40mm triple glazed unit all reduce the noise reaching bedrooms. Good seals and an accurate fit matter too, because sound travels through gaps. We will suggest a glass make-up for the rooms that face the flight path once we have surveyed.
Can you fit new windows after flood damage in Datchet?
Yes. Once the property has dried out and any structural repairs are signed off, we can survey and replace damaged frames, cills and doors. Tell us if your insurer or loss adjuster is involved so we can give them a clear written quote. Low threshold door options are also worth considering when you replace a back door.
Do you offer timber windows for older Datchet cottages?
We only work in uPVC, composite and aluminium, never wood. For a cottage or Victorian house, Selecta Advance 70 in a woodgrain Colourfoil such as Golden Oak or Irish Oak gives a timber look with far less upkeep, and a flush casement keeps a traditional profile. Where a listed building must keep its originals, secondary glazing is the alternative.
How quickly can you fit uPVC windows in Datchet?
Lead times run from 10 days after the survey and order are confirmed, depending on the size of the job and the colour chosen. Datchet is about 15 to 20 minutes from our Fifield base, so surveys are easy to fit in. Our own fitters carry out the installation, and we agree fitting dates with you in advance.
