Triple glazed bay and bow windows in Cumbria
We survey and fit triple glazed bay and bow windows across Cumbria, from Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness to smaller towns such as Ulverston.
Warmer front rooms on 1930s and Victorian homes. A bay window projects out from the wall in angled sections; a bow window curves in more, shallower sections.

Rules in England
In England, replacement windows must meet 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better. Replacement windows are a controlled fitting. A competent person scheme installer (such as FENSA or Certass) self-certifies the work and notifies the council within 30 days; otherwise a building control body approves it.
Before ordering: Replacing windows on a house is normally permitted development if the new ones look similar. New upper-floor windows in a side wall must be obscure glazed and fixed, or open only above 1.7 m. Flats and maisonettes have no householder permitted development rights, so a change that alters their appearance needs planning permission. An Article 4 direction in a conservation area may mean permission is needed, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
How it works
We start with a survey, not a sales pitch: measurements, the structure above any bays, trickle-vent needs and escape windows. The quote that follows fixes the price, and anything unexpected on the day is agreed with you first.
- Every opening measured, including escape and vent needs
- Frames rated for the weight of triple glass
- Old windows removed and taken away
- Each opening closed up the same day
Questions
Will the bay be warmer?
Yes. Replacing old double or single glazing in a bay with triple glazing cuts heat loss through the glass and makes the glass surface warmer, so the room feels less draughty.
How much does a triple glazed bay window cost?
Our guide starts at £2,995 for a three-light uPVC bay, fitted and inc VAT; UK quotes run from about £2,000 to £4,500.
Can I change a bay to a flat window?
That is a structural and planning change, not a like-for-like replacement. Ask and we will explain what it involves.
Do you cover all of Cumbria?
We arrange surveys and fitting across Cumbria.
Do I need permission for triple glazed bay and bow windows in England?
In England, like-for-like replacements on a house are normally permitted development; flats need permission if the change alters their appearance, Article 4 areas may need permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
