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.
Planning: 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
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.

Questions
Will heavier glass damage my hinges?
It can. Triple units are about 50% heavier, so hinges and packers are checked and upgraded where needed.
Why are my windows misting between the panes?
The seal around the unit has failed and moist air has got in. Only replacing the unit fixes it.
How much does a triple glazed sealed unit cost?
Where a frame can take one, our guide starts at £145 fitted for a small unit, inc VAT. Published UK figures of about £90 to £220 per unit are mostly for double units; triple units cost more.

Do I need permission for triple glazed replacement sealed units in Scotland?
