Rules for uPVC windows in England
England requires replacement windows to achieve 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better, which good triple glazing passes comfortably. 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 Burton upon Trent
Do I need trickle vents?
In England and Wales, if your old windows had trickle vents, the new ones must have vents at least as big, and if they did not, the room must be no less ventilated than before. Scotland and Northern Ireland also require that replacement windows do not make ventilation worse. We size vents on the survey.
How long do uPVC windows last?
The Energy Saving Trust gives 20 to 35 years for modern glazing. The sealed units carry their own guarantee, set out on your quote.
