From Inverness to Dingwall, we arrange new-build triple glazing for homes across the Highlands and Islands, with every quote fixed for the specification shown. Island and remote districts are by arrangement, with travel and access costs shown separately on your quote.
Window and door packages priced from drawings and fitted to your programme. Triple glazing is not required by Building Regulations for new homes, but it helps a new dwelling meet its overall energy target.

Rules in Scotland
For a new home in Scotland, windows and doors are part of the building warrant for the build: they must average 1.6 W/m²K across all windows, doors and rooflights, with no single unit worse than 3.3. 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
We start with a survey, not a sales pitch: measurements, the structure above any bays, trickle-vent needs and escape windows. The quote that follows fixes the price, and anything unexpected on the day is agreed with you first.
- 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
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 the Highlands and Islands?
We arrange surveys and fitting across the Highlands and Islands. Island and remote districts are by arrangement, with travel and access costs shown separately on your quote.
Do I need permission for new-build triple glazing in Scotland?
In Scotland, 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.
