Carl Hancock Installations in Sketty
Sketty's houses, and what they need.
Much of Sketty was built between the wars: rows of semis with two-storey bays, recessed entrances and long gardens, alongside bigger detached houses towards Derwen Fawr and Sketty Green, and later estates around Tycoch and Sketty Park.
On the interwar houses, the bay is the key job. The originals were usually timber, many were replaced with uPVC decades ago, and those replacements do not always have proper support built in. When we survey a Sketty bay, we check what is carrying the wall and roof above before we price the frames.
At the back, the gardens here often have room for a kitchen or family-room extension, which is where aluminium bifold and sliding doors come in. If your extension is still being drawn up, we are happy to talk to your builder while the opening is planned.
Local knowledge
What matters on a Sketty job.
Keeping the proportions
Top lights, glazing bars and flush sash profiles can echo the original windows, so the house still sits well among its neighbours.
Front entrances
Recessed porches and side panels on interwar semis often suit a composite door with a matching sidelight.
Rear extensions
Room for wide openings at the back — bifolds to open up to the garden, or a slider to keep the view.

I've had all my windows and doors fitted by Carl he came highly recommended by a family member. The whole process was very easy — Carl helped me through selecting and choosing my windows and doors, him and his team were very meticulous removing and fitting the windows and doors, everything was cleaned up and spotless at end of shift. Highly recommended.

We recently had all the windows replaced at our home in Port Talbot by Carl Hancock, honestly couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial quote through to the final installation, Carl was professional, reliable and always happy to answer any of my questions or queries. The quality of the new uPVC windows are excellent — they have completely transformed the look of our home. If you're looking for a trusted fitter of uPVC windows, bifold doors or any style of double glazing, Carl is the man! Excellent workmanship, fair pricing and outstanding customer service from start to finish. A 5 star experience.

Questions
Windows & doors in Sketty: your questions.
Can you match the look of my original windows?
Often, yes. Flush sash windows with top lights and glazing bars can echo the original timber windows on interwar houses.
Do you fit bifolds on extensions in Sketty?
Yes, supplied and fitted. If the extension is still being planned, involve us early so the opening and threshold suit the door.
My bay window has dropped slightly — can you still replace it?
Usually. We assess what has moved and why, support the structure properly, and tell you if anything needs a builder before new frames go in.
