Rules for flats and apartments 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.
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
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.
- Free survey and a written quote fixed for the specification
- Glass build-up and whole-window U-value on every quote
- Written handover pack at the end of the job
- Guarantees on frames, units and fitting in writing
Questions from South Croydon
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.
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.
How long does it take to get flat and apartment triple glazing fitted in South Croydon?
After the survey, typical manufacture time is 4 to 7 weeks, and most homes are fitted in 1 to 4 days.
Do I need permission for flat and apartment triple glazing in South Croydon?
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.
