Window Company Failure Rate Surge in 2025

Window Company Failure Rate Surge in 2025

Window company failure rate in the UK has seen a significant rise this year, with Insight Data confirming over 1,200 fabricators and installers were marked as inactive or closed by Q2 2025. This continues a long-term trend of consolidation and market disruption across the fenestration sector.

Fabricators and Installers Under Pressure

According to the 2025 Fenestration Market Report, the number of active fabricators has dropped from 1,534 in 2014 to just 1,132 in 2025. While some have diversified or merged, many simply ceased trading.

  • Economic uncertainty and rising material costs are key factors
  • Competitors offering direct-to-site systems have gained share
  • Low-volume fabricators are struggling to stay profitable

Outdated Databases Are Hurting Your Sales Teams

Insight Data’s fabricator and installer database tracks over 14,000 companies in real-time. Each week, hundreds of records are reviewed and updated by Insight’s research team and verified using a live credit reference feed.

However, many suppliers still rely on third-party lists or legacy CRM systems containing outdated or invalid records. This leads to:

  • Wasted sales calls
  • Inaccurate market targeting
  • Loss of trust in lead quality
