TWC starts 2026 with £1M uplift as South West homeowners invest in properties

Home improvements company reports 55% year-on-year surge

TWC Home Improvements has reported a strong start to 2026 as homeowners across the South West invest in their properties.

The Swindon-based company says it is already £1 million up year-on-year from 2025, a 55% uplift, as owners increasingly decide to improve, not move.

The business has also secured a major partnership with Hillier Garden Centres, enabling the creation of two conservatory villages in Lechlade and Cheddar, with further sites expected to follow.

The strong start to the year reflects TWC’s drive to improve the customer journey through increased staff training and improved communication channels, including its industry-first WhatsApp project groups that keep customers updated at every step of a build or installation.

The family-run business, which specialises in high-quality windows, doors, conservatories, orangeries, extensions and porches, has also grown its team in recent months, welcoming five new starters and promoting eight employees to new roles.

The company’s Living Space Department has expanded rapidly, strengthened by new specialists and leadership as demand surges.

In recognition of its recent growth, TWC is also hoping for success at the national GGP Installer Awards 2026, where it is shortlisted in the Best Training or Employee Development Programme and Business Resilience categories.

With more big announcements on the horizon, 2026 looks to be a standout year for the company as it eyes expansion into Devon and Cornwall.

Co-Director, Joseph Heaton, said, “We are noticing a huge demand from customers across the region, many of whom are looking to boost the value of their property and create more space with bespoke additions.

“With a relatively stagnant property market and a tough economy, it makes perfect sense for people to invest in their homes, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing.

“Whilst demand is the obvious driving force, our exceptional start to the year has been strengthened by our experienced sales and demonstration teams who make sure customers can make a fully-informed decision that’s right for them and their property.”

Elsewhere, TWC is also putting its 30 years’ experience to good use, supporting young people into work through a partnership with The Platform Project.

TWC has welcomed its first cohort through the not-for-profit’s ‘Buddy Programme’, which gives young people struggling in mainstream education the opportunity to learn firsthand from local businesses.

Co-Director Andrew Hill, said, “As the business continues to grow successfully, it’s important for us to support young people within the communities in which we operate. Nurturing new talent and investing in our teams is core to our ethos at TWC – we’re all about people and building strong relationships across all aspects of the business. We’re looking forward to welcoming many more young people from The Platform Project in the future, teaching them everything from Computer-Aided Design (CAD) to sales and hands-on building skills.”

Based in Swindon, TWC is a GGF and Ultra installer-accredited business operating throughout the South West alongside its sister company Permaframe.
