Triple glazed casement windows in Kempston
From the first measure to the handover pack, we handle triple glazed casement windows for homes in Kempston and the rest of Bedfordshire.
Side- and top-hung sashes with hinges sized for heavier glass. A casement window has sashes hinged at the side or top that open outwards, the most common window style in UK homes.
Winter light and glass choice in Kempston
On the shortest day, Kempston gets about 7 h 43 min of daylight and the midday sun reaches only about 14° above the horizon. Low winter sun means north-facing rooms here gain little solar heat, which is where triple glazing’s lower heat loss helps most.

Rules for casement windows in England
England requires replacement windows to achieve 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better, which good triple glazing passes comfortably. 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
The surveyor measures every opening, checks ventilation, escape windows and safety-glass zones, and talks through styles. Your written quote lists each item with its glass build-up and U-value, and the price is fixed for that specification.

Questions from Kempston
Do casement windows need trickle vents?
If the old windows had them, yes, and at least as large. If not, ventilation must be no worse than before. We size this on survey.
What is an egress hinge?
A hinge that lets the sash open wide enough to climb out in a fire. It is used where a bedroom window is also the escape route.
How long does it take to get triple glazed casement windows fitted in Kempston?
After the survey, typical manufacture time is 4 to 6 weeks in uPVC, and most homes are fitted in 1 to 4 days.
Do I need permission for triple glazed casement windows in Kempston?
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. Check whether your street is in a conservation area or covered by an Article 4 direction before changing the style.
