Triple glazing for new builds and self-builds in Yeovil
From the first measure to the handover pack, we handle new-build triple glazing for homes in Yeovil and the rest of Somerset.
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.
Winter light and glass choice in Yeovil
Winter days in Yeovil are short: about 7 h 55 min of daylight on 21 December, with the sun peaking near 16°. 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 new builds and self-builds 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.
- 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
