Rules for uPVC windows in England
In England, replacement windows must meet 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better. Replacement windows are a controlled fitting. A competent person scheme installer (such as FENSA or Certass) self-certifies the work and notifies the council within 30 days; otherwise a building control body approves it.
Before ordering: Replacing windows on a house is normally permitted development if the new ones look similar. New upper-floor windows in a side wall must be obscure glazed and fixed, or open only above 1.7 m. Flats and maisonettes have no householder permitted development rights, so a change that alters their appearance needs planning permission. An Article 4 direction in a conservation area may mean permission is needed, and 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.
- 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 from Hornchurch
Will triple glazed uPVC windows look bulky?
The frames look much the same as good double glazed uPVC. The glass unit is thicker, but that sits inside the frame, so from outside the difference is hard to spot.
Can I have coloured uPVC triple glazing?
Yes. Woodgrain and solid-colour foils are available on the outside, inside or both. Colour adds to the price and can add a week or two to the lead time.
Do I need permission for triple glazed uPVC windows in Hornchurch?
In England, like-for-like replacements on a house are normally permitted development; flats need permission if the change alters their appearance, Article 4 areas may need permission, and listed buildings need listed building 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 uPVC windows fitted in Hornchurch?
After the survey, typical manufacture time is 4 to 6 weeks, and most homes are fitted in 1 to 4 days.
