Environmental
At KJM we take our responsibility to the environment very seriously. We will always work within the guidelines of good environmental practice.
We aim to create sustainable products and a buying and installation system that ensures that little to no waste is produced, therefore aiding in reducing our carbon footprint and impact on the environment.
Our Sustainability Aims
- Using materials from sustainable sources wherever possible
- Reduce unnecessary use of energy and materials
- Keeping creation of waste to an absolute minimum, recycling wherever possible and disposing of waste in a clean, sustainable and responsible manner

We are very conscious of our environmental responsibilities as a company and we re-cycle as much as possible.

With KJM Group making a pledge to offer sustainable products and services, this allows for you to also have a positive impact on the planet. Choose KJM Group for your home improvement products, and make the eco-friendly choice.
Many of our home improvement products also help protect the environment by reducing your energy bills. By installing energy efficient products such as composite doors from Solidor and Comp Door, uPVC windows and doors or aluminium doors and windows, you can benefit from high quality weatherproofing, which in turn ensures your home will not suffer in adverse conditions or become damaged, which aids in making your home draughty or damp. uPVC and aluminium are ideal materials for energy and thermal efficiency and are sustainable, so they will not need replacing as often as traditional timber.
Recycled uPVC Waste
The uPVC windows and doors we offer are 100% recyclable, and any uPVC we remove from your home when replacing your windows and doors are also recycled, so no waste is sent to landfills.
All Metals Recycled
Any metal products we install or remove during the installation process are also recycled, so you can be sure that we are doing our part by sending no waste to landfill sites.
Planned Sustainable Measures
We also have been in discussion within the business as to how we can make all glass that we remove recyclable. As an industry-wide issue, the team at KJM Group is aiming to take the first steps to ensure that all of our products are recycled.
Energy Saving Lighting
Our KJM Group office is now being lit by energy-saving LED bulbs, which are reducing our carbon footprint and environmental impact.
Zero to Landfill Aim
We are currently working towards a Zero to Landfill approach for our products and installations, therefore ensuring that all products removed during installations can be reused and recycled.
Sustainability with our Partners
Here at KJM Group, we partner with various manufacturers and suppliers who also share our sustainability values. Smarts are a great example of one of our partners who offer a sustainability promise when you work with them. Not only have they considered their relocation and expansion of more branches being in areas where natural wildlife habitats will not be affected, but they have also considered the effect their branch would have on local communities in the area. They also attain 5 BSI standards, gain their energy from renewable energy sources and aim to be carbon neutral in their production operations.
Our Sustainable Products
It is also important to note that all of the products we offer at this time are sustainably sourced. We aim to ensure that any parts of your renovation that can be recycled will be recycled when you choose KJM Group. We strive to send little to no waste to landfills.
Our products also help us keep our sustainability promise. Once they are installed, they perform to the necessary standards of energy and thermal levels and are not likely to become damaged by adverse weather conditions. This makes them a great option for homeowners looking to stop all draughts and damp in their homes and reduce their energy bills.
If you are looking for new windows and doors or to invest in a new conservatory for your home but are looking to make a smaller impact on the environment around you whilst also benefiting from improved performance, choose KJM Group as your local home improvement installer. You can contact us to learn more about our sustainability promise, as well as for more information on the products we offer and a quote for your home improvement project.
We have used KJM for a few jobs in the last few months. We can’t recommend them highly enough. Superb service, from the whole of the team, from beginning to end. The front door was a bit of an emergency so Paul squeezed us in for measuring up, and Emma offered us the first opportunity available for installing.
Josh and Charlie fitted all 3 jobs, and were very tidy, friendly and respectful, really nice guys. Great service & great products – we will be going back to them to replace the rest of the windows when we are in a position to do so.

Recently had a new door installed by KJM and cannot fault them at all. From start to finish the whole team was professional and so easy to deal with. Kept us updated throughout and the fitters were great – we have a vulnerable adult living with us and the fitters even took time to ask if there were any considerations for them ahead of the work.
The work was done ahead of time and to a great standard and we’re incredibly pleased with the result. Won’t hesitate to use them again and recommend to others – a shining example of top-notch service.

Great team to engage with! KJM were a referral and were very easy to deal with, knew the products, discussed our options and very fast to respond to any queries or similar. The product is great – does exactly what it should and we couldn’t be happier with the service.
The fitting team were excellent, no mess, no rubbish left behind and always polite, professional and real grafters. It’s unlikely we will need to replace these windows or doors, but if we ever move, I would be straight back onto KJM to replace them in the new house.
