Elwyns are proud to announce being winners of the Surrey Business Awards, ‘Family Business of the Year 2024’ Award.

Started in 1963, our Family run business has over 61 years trading experience, making us one of the oldest double glazing specialists in England.

Our family and company values are based on integrity, trust, loyalty and respect, most of our staff are either friends or family, some who have known one another since their youth so everyone has a connection and good working relationship. These values are reflected on to you, our customers as we want you to feel comfortable and at home, knowing that you can place your trust in us, in our family environment. 

George Blanks started the business in 1963 then his son Chris Blanks and Mark (Barry) Chadwick joined the company in their teens as apprentice installers. George was greatly missed when he sadly passed away in October 2016, our Elwyns fleet followed in procession through Carshalton Village, kind messages and tributes were received from the local community and press in memoriam.

Chris and Mark became owners and Directors, they run the business along with Marks wife Sarah. In 2017 Mark and Sarah’s son Jack came on board as an Installer and in 2019, Chris’s son Oscar joined as a Design Consultant, bringing us into the third generation of family staff.

Several of our family’s friends also work for the company in Management, Sales and Marketing and not forgetting the Elwyns friendly canine family who nip in from time to time with their owners to say hello, Diesel, Molly, Genie, Mira and others.

Elwyns have also given a lot to the community by putting on Festive and music events, sponsoring and supporting local causes and charities and founder George gifted 2 beautiful swans called To and Fro to the local heritage for the nearby ponds over 50 years ago which people still remember and talk about now.
