Window Leads for Installers Covering Hampshire
A fitting diary needs a supply of surveys as well as completed orders. Hampshire Windows introduces enquiries from people planning window work at properties across the county. The jobs range from one misted unit in a Gosport kitchen to a full set of vertical sliders on a Southsea terrace or new bays for a 1930s semi in Eastleigh. Through Leads Do Work, independent installers can pick up the enquiries that match the products they fit and the areas they cover.
Registering a contractor account is free, and you can browse available enquiries before deciding whether to pay for any leads. Each lead is a homeowner who has asked for quotes. It is an opportunity to talk to them and price the work, not a confirmed survey, an exclusive customer or a guaranteed order.

Pick the Window Work You Want
When you register, choose the categories that suit your business. Enquiries from this site fall into six areas: uPVC casement windows, uPVC bay windows, tilt and turn windows, sliding sash windows, double glazing replacement and uPVC French windows.
- Casements: like-for-like replacements, flush-sash upgrades, colour changes and whole-house schedules on estates and semis.
- Bays: canted, square and bow bays, often on 1930s houses, where a survey needs to check what is carrying the bay roof.
- Tilt and turn: flats, dormers and loft conversions where inward opening, escape sizes and cleaning from inside matter.
- Sash: uPVC vertical sliders and timber sashes for Victorian and Edwardian terraces, sometimes in conservation areas.
- Double glazing replacement: anything from swapping failed sealed units to replacing tired 1980s and 1990s installations.
- French windows: pairs of doors onto gardens or Juliet balconies, including jobs where a window opening is being cut down.
If you only fit complete windows, do not replace glass units, or need listed building consent in place before you quote on heritage work, say so early. It saves the homeowner and your surveyor a wasted visit.
Set a Realistic Hampshire Coverage Area
Choose the towns and postcode areas your team can actually reach for surveys, installation and any follow-up visits. A firm in Portsmouth might stick to Southsea, Cosham, Havant and Gosport. One based in Basingstoke may prefer the north of the county, from Tadley and Hook out to Andover. New Forest work around Lymington, Ringwood and Brockenhurst involves longer drives and narrower lanes than most urban jobs.
Remember that the M27 and M3 can make short distances slow at peak times, and some island and waterside addresses, such as Hayling Island, have limited routes in and out. Covering less ground and serving it well usually works better than covering the whole county thinly.
Lead Packs
Compare the 5, 10 and 20-lead pack options through Leads Do Work, and check which plans are currently available to your account. Check the current prices, how many installers each lead is shared with and any credit policy in your account before buying. See Leads Do Work for the current options. Buying leads does not guarantee you will win a set number of jobs.
5 leads
Suits a small firm or sole installer with a couple of free survey slots a week, or a business testing a new part of Hampshire before committing to it.
10 leads
Works for a team that surveys regularly alongside a steady fitting diary. Bear in mind how quickly your fabricator can return prices for bays, sashes and coloured frames.
20 leads
Needs a dedicated surveyor or office support to follow up promptly. Make sure your fitting schedule can take the work if several quotes are accepted in the same month.
From Sign-Up to Quote
- Register your window business in the Leads Do Work app.
- Select the window types you fit and the Hampshire areas you cover.
- Browse available enquiries and look at the paid options.
- Choose an available paid option if you want the customer's contact details under its terms.
- Contact the homeowner, confirm what they want and book a survey.
- Send your own written quote and agree the contract directly with the customer.
Businesses joining the network are asked for relevant insurance details and references. Keep your profile, product range and scheme registration up to date, and tell customers how the job will be certified. Replacement windows are usually covered by a competent person scheme, while new or enlarged openings may need building control; the Planning Portal's Building Regulations guidance sets out the basics.
Allow Time for Surveying and Follow-up
Ten enquiries do not mean ten orders. Some households are setting a budget, others need landlord approval, and some will choose a different installer. Allow for unanswered calls, survey time and fabricator quotations when deciding what a lead is worth to your business. Avoid promising installation dates before the specification and supply times are confirmed.
Keep a note of the window count, frame material and preferred contact time for each enquiry. If a customer asks for a misted unit but you only supply complete frames, make that clear at the first conversation. For sash work, establish whether the customer wants uPVC sliders, new timber boxes or a repair before booking a measuring visit.
Making Your First Contact Count
Reply to the job the homeowner actually described rather than sending a standard sales message. Ask how many windows are involved, what they are made of now, and whether there are bays, sashes or anything above a conservatory. For a bay, ask whether there is a roof or a room above it. For a flat, ask whether the freeholder or managing agent needs to approve the work.
If the property is near the coast, ask about exposure before promising a finish or hardware warranty. If it is in a conservation area or national park, check whether the homeowner has already spoken to the planning authority. Agree a survey time that suits the household and confirm it in writing.
Make the quote clear: frames, glass, fitting, cills, boards, disposal, making good and VAT, with exclusions stated and a realistic lead time. Only use the app when parked safely or on a break, never while handling glass or driving. A prompt, specific reply stands out when the homeowner is comparing several firms.
