Rules in Scotland
The rules for replacement windows in Scotland are set by the Building Standards Technical Handbook (Domestic), section 6: 1.6 W/m²K. Replacing a window or door, frame and all, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.
Before ordering: Since May 2024, replacement windows on houses are widely permitted development, including in many conservation areas, with front elevations expected to match the existing closely; your council tells you if prior notification applies. Flats outside conservation areas generally need permission only if the opening size changes. 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
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.
Is triple glazing good for a flat on a busy road?
Yes, especially with an acoustic laminated pane, which makes the bigger difference to noise.
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).
