Wheatley sits just six miles east of Oxford, a village that has managed to retain its distinct identity even as the city has expanded around it. The old heart of the village around Church Road and the High Street features a charming collection of stone and brick cottages, many dating back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, while the mid-twentieth century brought substantial housing growth — the estates off London Road and around Littleworth introduced hundreds of family homes that now form the bulk of the village’s residential fabric. More recently, the redevelopment of the former Oxford Brookes University campus on Wheatley Park has brought contemporary housing to the area, attracting a new wave of buyers drawn by the village setting and easy commute into Oxford. This mix of old and new creates a genuine variety of glazing requirements, from heritage-sensitive solutions for stone-fronted cottages to bold aluminium installations for modern kitchen extensions. Upgrading your windows and doors in Wheatley is a smart investment — improving thermal comfort, reducing energy bills, and adding tangible value to your property.
Windows & Doors We Install in Wheatley
We offer a complete range of aluminium and uPVC windows and doors for every property type found in Wheatley. Whether your home is a stone cottage on Church Road or a modern family house on one of the village’s newer developments, we have the right product and install to FENSA-registered standards.
Every Vitrums installation is certified by FENSA and protected by a CPA insurance-backed warranty for your complete peace of mind.
Aluminium Windows & Doors
Aluminium is increasingly the material of choice for Wheatley homeowners undertaking extensions and renovations. Its slim profiles allow for maximum glass area, while its inherent strength and durability make it a truly long-term investment. We see particularly strong demand for aluminium at the rear of older properties, where a contemporary glazed extension can completely transform the relationship between house and garden.
- Bifold doors — Connect your kitchen or living space seamlessly to the garden. Cortizo bifold systems are available in two- to seven-panel configurations with ultra-slim profiles that maximise the opening width.
- Sliding doors — Where space is at a premium, sliding doors deliver floor-to-ceiling glazing without requiring the stacking room that bifolds need. Inline and lift-and-slide options available.
- French doors — A timeless design in a modern aluminium frame, combining traditional proportions with superior strength and slimline aesthetics.
- Casement windows — Clean, contemporary profiles with excellent thermal values. Top-hung or side-hung, in any RAL colour to complement your property.
- Slimline roof lanterns — Korniche lanterns bring dramatic overhead light into flat-roof extensions and are a popular addition to the single-storey rear extensions we frequently install in Wheatley.
- Flush casement windows — sleek aluminium flush windows with clean sightlines sitting perfectly flat within the frame for a contemporary look
- Internal doors — stunning Crittall-style aluminium internal doors and room dividers bringing an industrial-chic aesthetic to your interior

uPVC Windows & Doors
For much of Wheatley’s housing stock — particularly the 1950s-1980s family homes that make up a large proportion of the village — uPVC remains the most practical and cost-effective route to better thermal performance and security. Our REHAU profile systems are multi-chambered for outstanding insulation and come in a wide range of colours and woodgrain foils.
- Casement windows — The reliable all-rounder. Sculptured or chamfered profiles, internally beaded, and A-rated as standard. A straightforward upgrade that makes an immediate difference to warmth and quietness.
- Sliding sash windows — For the older cottages around the village centre, sliding sash windows replicate the appearance of traditional timber frames while delivering modern levels of insulation and security. Features include run-through horns, deep bottom rails, and a choice of Georgian bar patterns.
- French doors — Wide-opening garden access with low thresholds and multi-point locking for security and ease of use.
- Single doors — Practical side and rear entrance doors in a variety of colours and panel styles.
- Sliding doors — smooth-gliding patio doors that maximise natural light and garden views without encroaching on interior space
- Rio Inline windows — a modern tilt-and-turn system combining sleek aesthetics with excellent ventilation and easy cleaning
- Bay & bow windows — elegant projecting windows that add character, space and panoramic views to any room
- Flush casement windows — Rehau Rio Flush windows with a modern flat profile sitting flush within the frame for a sleek contemporary finish
Brand we install: REHAU

- Dynamic composite doors — A solid timber-core composite with a wide colour palette, offering strong performance at an accessible price point.
- Gerda steel doors — RC3 security rated with thermal break technology. The ultimate in front door security for homeowners who want peace of mind without compromising on appearance.
