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.
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
After the free survey you get a written quote naming the frame system, the glass build-up and the whole-window U-value for every item. Windows are made to order, then fitted, sealed and made good, one opening at a time.
- Every opening measured, including escape and vent needs
- Frames rated for the weight of triple glass
- Old windows removed and taken away
- Each opening closed up the same day
Questions from Melton Mowbray
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).
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.
