Why us
Why Monifieth homes choose Fenstra
Coastal-grade frames
Monifieth sits on the Angus coast. Salt-laden air off the Tay estuary and Buddon Burn accelerates the weathering of cheap uPVC. Veka frames are specified for coastal exposure as standard — every install includes higher-grade gaskets and stainless-steel friction stays that hold up over the long haul.
Veka authorised installer
Fenstra fits Veka — the German-engineered uPVC frame system used by premium installers across the UK. Every Monifieth installation carries Veka's 10-year manufacturer guarantee on the frame, plus our own 10-year workmanship warranty on the install.
Angus Council compliance handled
Monifieth sits in Angus, not Dundee City — that means Angus Council Building Standards. FENSA doesn't operate in Scotland; the sign-off route is via Scottish Building Standards Compliance Certificate. We handle the paperwork; you get the certificate at handover.
Services
What we fit in Monifieth
Windows
The full Veka uPVC window range — casement, tilt-and-turn, sash-look, bay — to suit anything from a Victorian seafront villa on the Esplanade to a 1970s bungalow up in Wellbank or a modern executive home around Ethiebeaton or Drumsturdy. Energy-rated glazing (A+ as standard), multi-point locking, trickle ventilation where Angus Building Standards require it.
Full windows page →Composite front doors
A composite front door is the single biggest kerb-appeal change you can make to a Monifieth home for the money. 44mm thickness as standard, solid timber core, multi-point locking. Fitted across the colour palette plus woodgrain finishes — picked at survey, fitted within a few weeks of order.
Composite doors page →Bifold and patio doors
Bifolds turn a back room into a place you actually want to sit. Patio sets are the right answer for narrower openings or where a full bifold won't suit the room layout. We'll tell you at survey which one fits the house — bifolds aren't always the right call.

Common questions
Common Monifieth questions
Do you charge a callout fee for Monifieth surveys?
No. The survey and the written quote are free across Monifieth, Broughty Ferry, Carnoustie and the wider Tayside coast — no obligation to book.
Monifieth is in Angus, not Dundee — does that change anything for the install?
It changes the building-standards sign-off route. Monifieth installs go through Angus Council Building Standards rather than Dundee City. We handle the Compliance Certificate paperwork for you and supply the certificate at handover. FENSA doesn't operate in Scotland — that's an England + Wales scheme; ignore any installer who tells you they're FENSA registered in Monifieth.
What's the lead time from order to fit in Monifieth?
Standard Veka uPVC lead time is currently around 4-6 weeks from order to fit. Non-standard colours or shaped units add 1-2 weeks. We schedule the install date when you confirm the order, so you know exactly when the work happens — no rolling "we'll be in touch" delays.
Do you fit windows in conservation-area properties on the Esplanade?
Yes, with the right consents. The Esplanade and parts of the historic centre fall under conservation-area considerations — sightlines, frame profile and sometimes colour are restricted. We'll talk through the consent route at survey and quote on the basis of what Angus Council planning will actually approve, not a generic spec.
Will salt air shorten the life of uPVC windows in Monifieth?
Cheap uPVC, yes — coastal exposure on the Angus coast is harder on frames and seals than inland Tayside. Veka frames are specified for coastal use as standard, and we fit stainless-steel friction stays and higher-grade gaskets on every install rather than upselling them as an extra. With proper specification, expect 25+ years.
