Rules for glass-only replacement 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
You will know exactly what you are buying: the quote states the unit build-up, frame, finish, fitting work and how Building Regulations compliance is handled. On fitting day each opening is replaced and closed up before the team moves on.

Questions from Bishopbriggs
Can I put triple glazing in my existing windows?
Usually not in a way that helps. Most frames take up to about 28 mm units; a triple unit that thin performs about the same as, or worse than, good double glazing. We check your frames before recommending anything.
Will heavier glass damage my hinges?
It can. Triple units are about 50% heavier, so hinges and packers are checked and upgraded where needed.
Do you fit triple glazed replacement sealed units in Bishopbriggs?
Yes. We arrange surveys and fitting in Bishopbriggs and across Glasgow and the Clyde. Send your postcode and the windows or doors you want replaced, and we will book a free survey.
Do I need permission for triple glazed replacement sealed units in Bishopbriggs?
In Scotland, replacement windows on houses are widely permitted development since May 2024, with front elevations expected to match closely; listed buildings need consent. Check whether your street is in a conservation area or covered by an Article 4 direction before changing the style.
