Triple glazing for flats and apartments in Harwich
From the first measure to the handover pack, we handle flat and apartment triple glazing for homes in Harwich and the rest of Essex.
Quieter, warmer flats, fitted from inside where possible. Before replacing windows in a flat, check two things.
Winter light and glass choice in Harwich
Winter days in Harwich are short: about 7 h 45 min of daylight on 21 December, with the sun peaking near 15°. That low angle reaches deep into south-facing rooms, so we match the glass to each elevation rather than using one spec for the whole house.

Rules for flats and apartments in England
The rules for replacement windows in England are set by Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments): 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
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 Harwich
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.
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).

After the survey, typical manufacture time is 4 to 7 weeks, and most homes are fitted in 1 to 4 days.
