Rules for glass-only replacement in Wales
In Wales, replacement windows must meet 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better. As in England, replacement windows are a controlled fitting: a competent person scheme installer self-certifies the work, or building control approves it.
Planning: Householder permitted development rules do not cover flats, and councils can remove rights with Article 4 directions. Listed buildings need listed building consent. Check with your council before changing the style or material.
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 from Ystradgynlais
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.
Do I need permission for triple glazed replacement sealed units in Ystradgynlais?
In Wales, householder rules do not cover flats, councils can use Article 4 directions, and listed buildings need consent. Check whether your street is in a conservation area or covered by an Article 4 direction before changing the style.
How long does it take to get triple glazed replacement sealed units fitted in Ystradgynlais?
After the survey, typical manufacture time is 1 to 2 weeks for units, and replacing the units usually takes a few hours to a day.
