Worth knowing
Worth checking before work starts
A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.
Replacement windows
In England, replacement windows must meet the Building Regulations. An installer in a competent person scheme, such as FENSA or CERTASS, can self-certify the work; otherwise you need building control approval.
Your certificate
In England and Wales, a registered installer should give you a certificate within 8 weeks of finishing. It is evidence the work complies, and shows up in solicitors' searches when you sell.
Escape windows
In England, a replacement window should give at least the same means of escape in a fire as the window it replaces.
Opening up to a conservatory
In England, a new structural opening between a conservatory and the house needs Building Regulations approval, even if the conservatory itself is exempt.
Questions
Window and conservatory questions
My job isn't in the list. What should I choose?
Choose the closest job, then explain what you need in the description step.
What jobs can I request quotes for here?
Windows and doors in uPVC, aluminium and timber, double and triple glazing, glass replacement, conservatories, orangeries and porches, shutters, window film and cat flaps. The full list is in the form's first step.
Do I need planning permission for new windows?
In England, not usually for a house, if they look similar to those it was built with. A new bay window counts as an extension, and a listed building needs listed building consent for significant works.
Does a conservatory need building regulations approval?
In England, not usually if it is single storey, at ground level, under 30 square metres, separated from the house by external walls, doors or windows, with its own heating controls, and its glazing and electrics comply.
Do I need planning permission for a porch?
In England, not usually for a house. A porch needs no application if its ground floor area is 3 square metres or less, no part is over 3 metres high, and it is at least 2 metres from any boundary that fronts a highway.
How much does it cost to replace double glazing?
It depends on how many windows there are, their size and style, the frame material, the glass, and how easy they are to reach. Ask each installer to quote for the same windows, so the quotes compare.
Can a conservatory roof be insulated?
Yes. The roof can be replaced with a solid one, or insulated panels can be fitted. In England, replacing a glazed roof with a solid one may need Building Regulations approval, so ask the installer how it will be signed off.
How much does a new front door cost?
It depends on the material, such as composite, uPVC or timber, the size and style, the glass, the locks, and whether the frame is replaced too. Ask each installer to quote for the same door, so the quotes compare.
