Chris Brunsdon -Tommy Trinder Founder & CEO .

Use of the Tommy Trinder app continues to climb ; the value of work quoted by installers topped £ 1.5bn in the first eight months of 2024 , and 150 more installation

companies have signed up so far this year .

Founder and CEO Chris Brunsdon says : “ In two years , we ’ ve seen the values quoted by installers on Tommy go from

under £ 100 million a month to over £ 200 million a month . It ’ s a lot of zeros .”

“ Having a full suite of materials - timber , aluminium , steel and PVCu - available to touch , show and sell is really boosting the numbers . We ’ re seeing a rising incidence of installers combining multiple materials in one quote – a timber front door , an aluminium bi-fold and some PVCu sashes on the same job is not uncommon , for example . These mixed material projects are leading to higher average quote values - typically , in the region of £ 7,300 .

“ Premium features are a factor too ; foils , dual colours , dummy vents , mechanical joints , flush casements , surface mounted bars

and premium ironmongery are all trending upwards . It ’ s easy to show these off on the Tommy platform in a very visual way , and when it ’ s easy to show it ’ s easy to sell .”

Tommy Trinder report that more than 33,000 homeowners

have received a quote generated by the Tommy platform in the last three months . Notably , 60 % of quotes were accompanied by a visualisation .

“ The makeover tool , where installers provide a mockup to the homeowner of their new windows in situ , is definitely becoming a staple part of the quoting process ,” says Chris . “ When you consider the ease with which consumers are able to model other significant purchases like cars or kitchens , it feels inevitable that offering the client a visual of windows and doors will become the norm . Customers love being able to ‘ try before they buy .’”
