UWS supports DIY SOS

Unique Window Systems has continued its support of a TV show which delivers life-changing builds for deserving families across the UK.

The leading supplier of PVC-U and aluminium windows, doors and curtain walling to the trade, commercial, new build and multi-room sectors has once again supplied and installed products, free of charge, to BBC One’s DIY SOS.

Sunil Patel, joint-managing director from the fabricator of fenestration solutions, said: “At Unique, we have a strong sense of corporate social responsibility. In fact, as a business that remains family owned, we are proud of our altogether more human approach. We measure our success not only in commercial terms but also by the positive impact we have on communities and society as a whole.”

Unique supplied DIY SOS with a Skypod roof lantern, heritage doors, PVC-U windows and doors, and a Tedee smart lock, which was fitted to a composite door. Fitting of all items was carried out by Unique’s own dedicated installation teams.

The donated products and labour have been used to help transform the family home of eight-year-old Isla who lives in the same city where Unique is based – Leicester.

Isla is the only person in the UK living with Mandibuloacral Dysplasia. This incredibly rare genetic disorder causes brittle and underdeveloped bones, fragile skin, breathing difficulties and metabolic issues. Despite the daily health challenges resulting from her condition, Isla continues to show amazing resilience and an inspirational lust for life.

The DIY SOS project focused on making Isla’s home safer and more accessible as even a simple fall has the potential to cause her serious harm.

The episode featuring Isla was broadcast on BBC One on Friday 3rd October 2025 at 8pm and is the first in a new series of the BAFTA award-winning show. The same episode is also currently available on catch up and viewable on BBC iPlayer.

Sunil adds: “We are proud of our continuing support of a number of charitable organisations and initiatives including DIY SOS and Alex’s Wish, which raises funds to help eradicate Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

“We hope our products and efforts at Isla’s home will make a real difference to this brave little girl and her family.”
