Choosing the Right Double Glazing
Before contacting local installers, it helps to have a rough idea of the type of windows you need. Your main choices are usually the frame material and whether you need full replacement windows or secondary glazing.
Which Window Frame Material Is Best?
| Material | Best For | Main Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| uPVC | Most homes and budget-conscious replacements | Affordable, low maintenance and widely available |
| Aluminium | Modern homes and larger window openings | Slim, strong frames but usually more expensive |
| Timber | Period and traditional properties | Attractive and well insulated, but requires more maintenance |
| Composite | Premium installations | Combines different materials for durability and appearance, usually at a higher cost |
For most homeowners, uPVC offers the simplest balance of price, insulation and maintenance. Aluminium and timber may be worth considering where appearance, frame size or the character of the property is more important.
Secondary Glazing or Full Replacement?
| Option | Best For | Main Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Secondary glazing | Existing windows you want to retain, including some period properties | Less disruptive and usually cheaper |
| Full replacement | Old, damaged or inefficient windows | Replaces the complete window and frame |
If your existing windows are otherwise sound, secondary glazing may provide a useful improvement without replacing them entirely. Full replacement is generally more suitable when the existing frames or glazing have reached the end of their useful life.
Local Providers: How to Find the Best Double Glazing Near You
Finding local double glazing companies is easy; choosing the right one takes a little more care.
Use the local search tool above to find double glazing installers, window fitters and glazing specialists in your area. Once you have a shortlist, compare the companies based on their recent work, customer feedback and the details of their quotes.
Check Reviews and Credentials
Before requesting a quote, look for:
- Recent independent reviews – focus on comments about installation quality, communication, cleanliness and after-sales support.
- A consistent track record – read several reviews rather than relying on the overall star rating alone.
- Relevant registrations or accreditations – check any schemes or memberships the company claims directly with the organisation concerned.
- Clear contact and business details – reputable installers should make it easy to identify who you are dealing with.
Directories and schemes such as FENSA, TrustMark and Which? Trusted Traders can also be useful when researching local installers.
Compare Like-for-Like Quotes
Shortlist around three installers and ask each for a written quote covering the same requirements.
Check that the quote clearly states:
- the number and type of windows being replaced
- frame and glazing specifications
- installation costs
- removal and disposal of the old windows
- any additional work or charges
- guarantees and warranties
- expected installation timescale
The cheapest quote is not necessarily the best value. A slightly higher price may include a better specification, longer guarantee or work that another installer has listed as an extra.
Before You Commit
Make sure you understand exactly what is being installed, what the final price includes and what protection you have if something goes wrong.
For larger projects, taking the time to compare several local installers can make a significant difference to both the quality of the installation and the final cost.
Cost of Double Glazing
Double glazing prices vary depending on the size and style of the windows, frame material, glass specification and complexity of the installation. The number of windows being replaced will also have a major effect on the overall cost.
Typical Double Glazing Costs
| Window Style | Rough Installed Cost |
|---|---|
| Casement window | £500–£1,250 |
| Sash window | £700–£1,500 |
| Tilt-and-turn window | £600–£1,400 |
These figures are rough UK guide prices rather than quotations. Window size, frame material, glazing specification, location and installation complexity can all substantially affect the final cost. uPVC is generally at the more affordable end, while aluminium and timber typically cost more.
What Affects the Price?
The main factors are:
- Frame material – uPVC is generally the most affordable, while aluminium and timber usually cost more.
- Window size and style – larger or more complex designs typically cost more to supply and install.
- Glass specification – acoustic, toughened, obscured or other specialist glazing can increase the price.
- Installation requirements – difficult access, unusual openings or additional remedial work may add to labour costs.
- Number of windows – whole-house installations cost more overall, although the price per window may differ from a small job.
Get Local Quotes for an Accurate Price
Online prices are useful for setting a budget, but the only reliable way to know what your project will cost is to have the property assessed.
Try to get at least three like-for-like written quotes and check exactly what each includes, such as installation, removal of the existing windows, disposal and guarantees.
Frequently Asked Questions
The cost depends on the window size, style, frame material, glass specification and installation requirements. uPVC is generally the most affordable frame option, while aluminium and timber usually cost more.
Use online prices as a rough guide only and get at least three local quotes for an accurate comparison.
Getting three like-for-like quotes is a sensible starting point. Make sure each quote covers the same specification so you can compare the window materials, glazing, installation, removal of old windows and guarantees rather than simply choosing the lowest price.
Look for an installer with:
– recent independent customer reviews
– relevant registrations or accreditations
– a clear written quotation
– suitable guarantees and warranties
– an established record of similar installations
– clear after-sales support
Always verify any accreditation or scheme membership the company claims.
Installation time depends on the number and type of windows, access and whether any additional work is required. A small replacement job may be completed relatively quickly, while a full-house installation can take several days.
Ask the installer for an estimated schedule as part of the quotation.
Additional restrictions can apply to listed buildings and properties in conservation areas, particularly where replacement windows would alter the character or appearance of the property.
Before ordering new windows, check the requirements for your property with the relevant local planning authority. In some cases, repairing existing windows or installing secondary glazing may be more appropriate.
