Rules in England
For a new home in England, windows and doors are approved as part of the build’s own building control application, not as replacements: the limiting value is 1.6 W/m²K, with 1.2 used for the design reference. The house itself needs planning permission.
VAT: supply and fitting by a VAT-registered contractor in the construction of a new home is normally zero-rated, so new-build guide prices are shown without VAT; supply-only purchases carry 20% VAT, which self-builders can usually reclaim through HMRC’s DIY housebuilders scheme.
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.
- 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
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send your drawings or window schedule and we will price a package, then confirm sizes on site before manufacture.
How much does a self-build window package cost?
For about 22 m² of windows and doors, our guide starts at £11,195 in uPVC and £18,895 in aluminium, fitted and zero-rated (new home).
Is triple glazing mandatory for new builds?
No. Neither the current rules nor the Future Homes Standard make it compulsory. Triple glazing helps meet the overall energy target.
Do you cover all of East Sussex?

Do I need permission for new-build triple glazing in England?
In England, a new home needs planning permission, and its windows and doors are approved through the build’s own Building Regulations application rather than as replacements.
