Request an Online Double Glazing Quote

 

An online double glazing quote is a convenient way to begin comparing options without immediately arranging several home visits.

​

You will normally be asked to provide basic information including:

​

• The number of windows and doors required

• The approximate window sizes

• The preferred frame material

• The window styles being considered

• The property type and location

• Whether existing windows need to be removed

• Any access, planning or installation considerations

​

Photographs can also help an installer understand the existing property and provide a more useful initial estimate.

​

An online quotation should usually be treated as a guide until the installer has completed a detailed survey. The final window quotation may change if the survey identifies unusual sizes, structural repairs, restricted access or additional work.

​

​

What Affects Double Glazing Quotes?

 

The price of new double glazing depends on more than the number of windows being replaced.

​

Window frame material

UPVC windows are generally one of the most economical choices and are widely used for modern replacement-window projects.

​

Aluminium, timber and composite windows may cost more but can offer different appearances, frame profiles and performance characteristics.

​

Window style

A standard casement window will normally cost less than a more complicated design.

​

Your double glazed windows quote may be affected by the inclusion of:

​

• Casement windows

• Sash windows

• Bay or bow windows

• Tilt-and-turn windows

• Flush casement windows

• Shaped or arched windows

• Heritage-style windows

• Large fixed glazed panels

​

Glass specification

Standard double glazing may be suitable for many properties, but alternative glass specifications can increase the quotation.

​

These may include:

​

• Acoustic glazing

• Laminated security glass

• Toughened safety glass

• Solar-control glass

• Obscure or decorative glass

• Low-emissivity energy-efficient glass

• Triple glazing

​

Colour and finish

White UPVC windows are usually among the most affordable options. Coloured, woodgrain, dual-colour and bespoke finishes may increase manufacturing costs.

​

Timber windows may also require a particular painted, stained or factory-finished surface.

​

Installation requirements

A straightforward replacement within an existing opening will normally be less expensive than work involving:

​

• Enlarging or reducing openings

• New lintels

• Structural alterations

• Extensive internal making good

• Scaffolding

• Difficult upper-floor access

• Repairs to surrounding brickwork

• Removal of damaged timber or render

• Specialist work to listed or historic properties

​

​

UPVC Windows Quotes

 

A UPVC windows quote should identify the frame system, glazing specification, opening arrangement and installation work included.

​

The quotation should also confirm whether the price covers:

​

• Removal of the existing windows

• Disposal of old frames and glass

• Trickle vents where required

• Window boards, trims and sealants

• Internal and external making good

• Handles, locks and restrictors

• Building Regulations certification

• Guarantees and warranties

• VAT

​

Do not compare UPVC window quotes purely by looking at the final figure. A cheaper quotation may exclude important finishing work, upgraded locks, energy-efficient glass or disposal costs.

​

​

Compare Window Quotes on a Like-for-Like Basis

 

When comparing window quotes, make sure each installer is pricing the same specification.

​

Check that each quotation confirms:

​

1. The number and style of windows

2. The frame material and colour

3. The glass specification

4. The opening configuration

5. The window energy rating or thermal performance

6. The security hardware included

7. The installation and making-good work

8. The guarantee period

9. The expected installation programme

10. Whether VAT is included

​

A clear and detailed window quotation makes it easier to identify genuine differences between installers.

​

The lowest new window quote is not necessarily the best value. Installation quality, product suitability, aftercare and warranty arrangements should also form part of your decision.

​

​

Will the Installer Need to Visit?

 

An initial online quote may be possible using your measurements, photographs and project information.

​

Before placing an order, the installer should normally complete a detailed site survey. This allows them to:

​

• Confirm accurate manufacturing dimensions

• Inspect the existing frames and openings

• Check access and installation conditions

• Identify structural or repair work

• Discuss glass, colours and opening arrangements

• Confirm planning or Building Regulations considerations

• Produce a final quotation

​

You should avoid ordering made-to-measure windows based solely on approximate homeowner measurements.

​

​

Planning Permission and Building Regulations

 

Most straightforward window replacements do not require a planning application. However, additional controls may apply where the property is:

​

• Listed

• Within a conservation area

• Subject to an Article 4 direction

• A flat or maisonette

• Being altered to create larger openings

• Changing significantly in external appearance

​

Replacement windows must also comply with relevant Building Regulations requirements. Installations may be certified through a competent-person scheme or approved through building control.

​

The installer should explain how the completed work will be certified.

​

​

How to Get a More Accurate Window Quotation

 

Providing detailed information at the beginning can make your quotation more useful.

​

Include:

​

• Clear photographs of each window

• Approximate width and height

• Preferred frame material

• Preferred colour

• Required opening arrangements

• Details of any damaged frames or surrounding walls

• Whether the property is listed or in a conservation area

• Your preferred installation timescale

• Any access or parking restrictions

​

Where you are unsure about the best specification, an experienced installer can explain the available options and help you balance appearance, performance and budget.
