We work with homeowners, developers and commercial clients across Ilford, offering a full range of glazing solutions – from sleek aluminium frames to low-maintenance UPVC systems. Our Dagenham manufacturing base is just a short drive from IG1, and we’ve been working across Ilford and the surrounding Redbridge area for over four decades.
Replacing your windows is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to a home. Improve thermal efficiency, reduce noise and refresh the look of your property from the outside in.
Ilford is one of East London’s larger and more densely populated boroughs, with a housing stock that spans Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the older parts of the town, interwar semis across the established residential areas, purpose-built flats and a growing number of new developments around Ilford town centre and along the Elizabeth line corridor.
That variety means there’s no single right answer when it comes to glazing, and it’s exactly the range our team has spent over 40 years navigating.
Slim profiles, excellent strength and a broad choice of RAL colours. Aluminium windows are the go-to for homeowners who want a premium finish that lasts. Available in casement, bay, picture, tilt & turn, shaped, and gable frames.
For Ilford’s larger Edwardian and interwar semis – particularly on the better streets in the IG1 and IG2 postcodes – aluminium windows offer a premium step up from standard white uPVC, with slim profiles and a wide colour range that suit homeowners investing in long-term improvements.
A practical, cost-effective choice that doesn’t compromise on performance. Available in a wide range of styles, colours and finishes – from square and rectangular to arched and circular frames – with each and every window can be tailored to your exact measurements.
uPVC is the most commonly fitted window type across Ilford’s large and varied residential stock, and for most straightforward replacement projects it remains the practical first choice. Our flush casement options work well on Victorian and Edwardian properties where standard chamfered profiles look dated, and everything is made to your exact measurements at our nearby Dagenham factory.
Our heritage windows capture the look of traditional steel designs using modern materials by delivering the same timeless aesthetic with far better thermal performance and security.
Parts of Ilford and the surrounding Redbridge area have conservation-sensitive streets and older properties where our heritage window range is the most appropriate solution. The bespoke steel-look profiles preserve the original character of period homes while delivering modern thermal performance – available in any size and colour to suit individual properties.

All our windows & doors are built in our Dagenham manufacturing site
Ilford’s varied housing stock means the doors we fit here span the full range – from composite front door upgrades on Victorian terraces to aluminium bi-folds for extended semis and uPVC replacements across the town’s large post-war housing.
Whether you’re upgrading an original entrance or replacing something that’s simply past its best, our team will help you get it right.
High-performance, built to last, and exceptional security. Available in a wide range of RAL colours and configurations – from bi-folds to front entrance doors – and made to order for a precise fit.
Aluminium entrance doors and bi-fold configurations are a natural fit for Stratford’s new build and contemporary developments – clean lines, slim frames and a full RAL colour range. Equally popular on extended Victorian terraces in the surrounding streets where rear kitchen projects call for wide, high-performance openings.
A reliable, low-maintenance option that performs well on both security and insulation. Available in a range of styles, finishes, and colours to suit all property types.
The most widely fitted door type across Ilford’s large housing stock – reliable, low maintenance and well priced. Available in a wide range of panel styles and finishes to suit the varied property types across IG1, IG2 and IG3, with competitive turnaround from our nearby Dagenham site.
Our GRP composite doors offer the look of a solid timber door without the warping, swelling or repainting that comes with real wood. The outer skin is moulded from glass reinforced plastic, giving it exceptional durability and a finish that holds its colour and texture year after year.
A popular front door upgrade across Ilford’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces, where the composite range in heritage colours and traditional panel designs works well with the original brick and tiled paths common across the area’s older streets.
A roof lantern is one of the most effective ways to flood a kitchen extension or garden room with natural light. DDG Windows supplies and installs aluminium roof lanterns across Ilford, available in a variety of sizes and glazing options to suit your project and budget.
Our roof lanterns are thermally broken as standard, keeping heat in during winter and reducing solar glare in summer - meaning your new space is comfortable year-round.
Our team regularly carries out installations across Ilford and the surrounding areas, including Gants Hill, Newbury Park, Seven Kings, Goodmayes, Barkingside, Clayhall, Redbridge, Wanstead, Manor Park, Barking and the wider IG1, IG2, IG3 and IG4 postcodes.

Ilford is well within our core East London coverage area, and our team has worked across the IG postcodes for decades.
We know the housing stock well – the Edwardian terraces and semis in the older parts of town, the interwar residential areas in Gants Hill and Newbury Park, the purpose-built flats across the town centre, and the newer developments along the Elizabeth line corridor. Each calls for a different glazing approach, and we’re experienced across all of them.
Ilford’s planning context is relatively straightforward for most standard residential replacements, but there are conservation-sensitive streets in parts of Redbridge where product choice matters.
Our team will always check what applies to your specific property before recommending a product, so there are no planning surprises once you’ve committed to an order.

Usually within 48 hours of your enquiry or site visit. Our Dagenham base is a short drive from Ilford and we can arrange surveys across the IG postcodes quickly and without fuss.
It depends on the scope of the job and site conditions, but as a general guide our two-man installation teams typically fit three to six windows per day. We'll give you a clearer timeline once we've completed your site survey - for larger Ilford properties with multiple replacement windows or doors, we'll factor that into the schedule upfront.
We'll confirm your style choices, glass spec, opening configurations and colour options, then put everything into a formal order. A deposit is required and a site survey will be booked so we can take accurate measurements before manufacturing begins at our Dagenham facility.
Yes - every window, door and roof lantern we fit in Ilford is installed by our own trained and accredited team. No subcontractors, consistent quality on every job whether it's a Victorian terrace or a new build apartment.
Yes. The regeneration and new build activity around Ilford town centre and along the Elizabeth line has brought a significant number of new residential projects to the area, and we work with both individual homeowners and developers. For new build specifications we can work to architects' drawings and building regulations requirements, and for developer enquiries we can discuss volume pricing and phased delivery schedules.
If the flat is leasehold - which is common across Ilford's large stock of purpose-built flats - you may need consent from the freeholder or managing agent before replacing windows. Some managing agents also have approved product lists. We'll flag any relevant considerations during the consultation and can usually supply products that satisfy the requirements of most freeholders and managing agents in the area.
