Having searched I've not found any recent recommendations - any ideas about excellent service by suppliers?

I suspect that you will need to have new ones. I used to use Crouch Marine Windows. A Google search has indicated a couple of companies in or close to Burnham on Crouch.

Thank you. I remember Crouch Marine Windows for new windows many years ago. My current windows are in surprisingly good condition and very smooth as, I suspect, the anodising has been worn away with too much polishing prior to my ownership.

I face the same challenge. All four wheelhouse windows leak.

Eagle windows did an excellent job for me previously, the business has changed hands and relocated. They have just quoted £2k to strip and reseal, does not say re-anodise so I assume not.

Houdini just quoted £3k for new ones.

Neither quote very attractive!

There is an anodising place in Portsmouth, I'll have to consult with a chum to find the name.

I had new windows made by Technautic in Burnham on Crouch for Hercules at a very much better price that you are being quoted by either company. They did a very decent job for me.
I will email you details.

The people who run Technautic used to work for Crouch Marine Windows.

They can now make new windows which clamp to the hole in the boat. This eliminates the need for screw holes which are of course sources of leaks. I think I got mine from Seaglaze.
