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.
Planning: 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.
- Guide prices published, not hidden
- No pressure: the quote is yours to keep

Questions
What about tall blocks?
Higher-risk buildings (18 m or 7 storeys and over in England) have extra building safety requirements. Talk to your building’s accountable person first.
Can windows in a flat be fitted from inside?
Often yes, which avoids scaffolding. It depends on the window design and access, checked on survey.
Do I need permission to replace windows in my flat?
Often, yes. In England and Wales flats have no householder permitted development rights, so check with the council; in Scotland permission is generally needed only if the opening size changes or the flat is in a conservation area; in Northern Ireland ask your council. Separately, check your lease (England, Wales and Northern Ireland) or title deeds and factor (Scotland).
Do you cover all of Bristol?
We arrange surveys and fitting across Bristol.
Do I need permission for flat and apartment triple glazing 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.
