Yoxall Windows - Where Trust Meets Craftsmanship |
Meet the man behind Yoxall Windows - bringing trust, craftsmanship, and a personal touch to home improvements across Burton and beyond. |

In a world where many homeowners are overwhelmed with flashy sales pitches and faceless companies, there’s something refreshingly reassuring about Yoxall Windows - a small, local business built on trust, honesty, and one man’s unwavering commitment to quality craftsmanship.
That man is Dan Phillips, the founder, installer, and heart behind Yoxall Windows, based in the picturesque village of Hamstall Ridware, just outside Burton-on-Trent. With over 25 years of experience in the double glazing and home improvement industry, Dan is a well-known and trusted name across local communities, from Lichfield and Uttoxeter, to Burton and Swadlincote.
But what truly sets Yoxall Windows apart isn’t just the wide range of high-quality services Dan offers - it’s how he offers them. At Yoxall Windows, you won’t find any sales teams or slick-talking reps. You deal directly with Dan, the very person who will turn up to your door, measure up, fit your windows, and shake your hand when the job’s done.
From Factory Floor to Independent Expert
Dan's journey began in 1994 on the manufacturing side of the industry, crafting UPVC windows and doors. Just a few years later, in 1998, he found himself at a crossroads when the company he worked for went into administration.
“Starting Yoxall Windows felt like the natural step,” Dan recalls. “It was the right time to go it alone.”
That moment marked the beginning of something special. Over two decades later, Yoxall Windows has grown into a name that homeowners across the region trust - not because of flashy advertising, but because of consistent service, clear communication, and a personal touch that bigger companies simply can’t replicate.
What Yoxall Windows Offers
Yoxall Windows may be a small business, but it offers a surprisingly wide range of services. Dan fits everything from:
It's an impressive list - and Dan’s ability to handle every stage of the project, from survey to installation, gives customers a rare sense of confidence and peace of mind.
The Power of Personal Service
One of the most appealing aspects of working with Dan is that you know exactly who you're dealing with. “It generates a bit more trust,” Dan says, “because the customer is dealing with the person who’s actually going to do the work.”
In an industry where some companies unfortunately carry a reputation for upselling, overpromising, or underdelivering, Dan stands out by doing the opposite. “It’s all about constant communication,” he explains. “I take the time to explain everything clearly, from start to finish. That way, there are no surprises - just great results.”
Transforming Homes, One Project at a Time
While Dan tackles everything from small porch upgrades to full conservatory builds, it’s not about the size of the job - it’s about the impact it has on the homeowner.
“I love it when customers tell me they can’t believe the difference the new windows and doors have made,” he says. “That’s what it’s all about.”
It’s clear that Dan takes genuine pride in his work. Every installation is approached with the same level of care and attention, whether it’s a single window replacement or a full home makeover. |

Trusted, Guaranteed, and Energy-Efficient
With energy bills on the rise, more and more homeowners are looking to improve their insulation and energy efficiency - and this is where Dan’s expertise really shines.
“People are thinking about it a great deal now,” he says. “Energy-efficient glazing can make a noticeable difference to both comfort and cost.”
All installations come with the GGFi Guarantee, which adds an extra layer of security for customers. “It gives people peace of mind,” Dan says simply. “They know they’re protected.”
A Day in the Life
So, what does a typical day look like for Dan? “Busy!” he laughs. “I’m usually installing during the day, surveying jobs in the evening, and doing paperwork at night.”
It's a demanding schedule - one that requires discipline, commitment, and more than a bit of local knowledge. But Dan wouldn't have it any other way.
He especially loves seeing the finished result of a job well done - “the transformation, and the happy customers,” he says.
Of course, not everything always runs to plan. “Juggling schedules can be tough,” Dan admits. “You never quite know how long a job will take until you start. But that’s part of the job.”
Hidden Gems and What’s Next
Despite the breadth of services Yoxall Windows offers, Dan believes there’s still more he can share with the local community.
“Not everyone realises I do aluminium products and general building work too,” he says. “There’s definitely more I can show people.”
That’s part of the reason why growing the business - and continuing to spread the word - is at the heart of Dan’s focus for the future.
His advice for anyone thinking about upgrading their windows or doors? “Talk to people who’ve been through the process - not salesmen. Salesmen will just tell you what you want to hear.”
That straight-talking honesty is exactly what makes Dan so respected across the Burton and South Staffs area. He’s not trying to ‘sell’ - he’s here to help people make confident decisions about their homes.
Word of Mouth Still Wins
So how do most people find Dan? It’s no surprise - word of mouth, Google reviews, and personal recommendations remain the biggest drivers of new business.
And if you’re already a customer and want to support Dan? “Leave a review,” he says. “It helps more than people realise.”
More Than Just Windows
At the end of the day, Yoxall Windows isn’t just about fitting glass and frames. It’s about trust, reliability, craftsmanship - and that unbeatable feeling of dealing with someone who genuinely cares about the work they do.
Whether you’re upgrading a tired front door, improving your home’s insulation, or dreaming of a bright new conservatory, Dan Phillips is a name you can trust.
