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
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 from Longton
How much more is triple glazed uPVC than double?
Usually 20 to 30% more for the same window, though quotes in the UK range from about 15 to 40%. The written quote shows the triple price, and we can price double glazing alongside it if you want to compare.
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.
