Rules in Scotland
The rules for replacement windows in Scotland are set by the Building Standards Technical Handbook (Domestic), section 6: 1.6 W/m²K. Replacing a window or door, frame and all, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.
Before ordering: Since May 2024, replacement windows on houses are widely permitted development, including in many conservation areas, with front elevations expected to match the existing closely; your council tells you if prior notification applies. Flats outside conservation areas generally need permission only if the opening size changes. Listed buildings need listed building consent.
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.
- 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
Is triple glazing enough for Passivhaus?
Triple glass is the starting point. The frame, spacers and installation all have to perform too.

Not always, but certified components make the certification process simpler. Ask and we will price certified systems.
Can you fit to my designer’s details?
Yes. We agree position, fixings and airtightness details with your designer before ordering.
Do you cover all of Fife?
We arrange surveys and fitting across Fife.
Do I need permission for Passivhaus and EnerPHit windows in Scotland?
