Hillside terraces
Steep streets and narrow pavements mean deliveries and parking are planned before fitting day. Large bifold and slider panes may need extra hands to get round to the back.

Carl Hancock Installations in Swansea
Swansea homes, surveyed properly.
Swansea's housing is as varied as anywhere in South Wales. Victorian and Edwardian terraces climb the hillsides in Uplands, Brynmill and Mount Pleasant, with bay windows, tall openings and awkward access. Morriston, Treboeth and Llansamlet mix older terraces with post-war semis, and newer estates and apartments run from SA1 out to the edges of the city.
That variety is why every job starts with a survey. A bay on a Brynmill terrace may be carrying the wall above it. A hillside house facing the bay takes weather a sheltered one never sees. A new build's openings were sized for the product the developer chose, not necessarily the one you want. Carl looks at each opening before anything is priced.
We are based in Port Talbot, a short run along the M4, so Swansea is on our doorstep — for the survey, the fitting and any aftercare afterwards.
Local knowledge
What we see on Swansea jobs.
Weather off the bay
South- and west-facing elevations above the bay take wind-driven rain. Threshold and cill details matter more here, and we specify for the exposure.
Period bays
Many older Swansea houses have bays that carry load from above. We check and support them properly — see bow and bay windows.
Kitchen extensions
Rear extensions on terraces and semis, usually with three- to five-metre openings suited to a bifold or a slider.

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 Swansea: your questions.
Do you cover the whole of Swansea?
Yes — the whole city and county, including Sketty, Mumbles, Gower, Morriston, Clydach, Gorseinon and Pontarddulais.
Is the survey free in Swansea?
Yes. Carl comes out, measures up and gives you a fixed written price, with no obligation and no follow-up sales calls.
Do I need planning permission for new windows in Swansea?
Replacement windows and doors on a house are usually permitted development where they are similar in appearance to the existing ones. Listed buildings, flats and properties in conservation areas can be different — Swansea Council's planning team can confirm, and we flag it at survey if we think it applies.
