Replacement windows by type of home
Replacement windows cost different amounts for different homes. Pick the kind of home you have to see what replacing all its windows typically costs fitted, what moves the price and who fits them near you.
By type of home
- Replacement windows for a flatReplacement windows for a flat make a small job, but one with conditions a house does not have.from £1,200typically £2,4001 or 2-bed flat, three to five uPVC casement windows, fitted
- Replacement windows for a 2-bed terraceReplacement windows for a 2-bed terrace are one of the more affordable whole-house jobs, because a terrace has a narrow front, a shallow back and a modest number of windows.from £2,500typically £3,8002 to 3-bed terrace, four to eight uPVC casement windows, fitted
- Replacement windows for a 3-bed semiReplacement windows for a 3-bed semi are the job most price guides are written around, which makes it the easiest to compare quotes against.from £4,000typically £5,0003-bed semi, nine uPVC casement windows, fitted
- Replacement windows for a detached houseReplacement windows for a detached house take longer and cost more than for a semi, because there are more windows, bigger windows and more exposed sides, so scaffolding is more likely.from £5,500typically £7,1004-bed detached house, twelve uPVC casement windows, fitted
How to choose replacement windows
Start by counting the windows, and note any bays or large panes, because the number and size of openings move the price more than anything else. Then open the page for the home type closest to yours.
Each page shows what that job typically costs fitted, what pushes the price up or down, and what a quote should include, so you can compare like with like.
Fitting and certifying replacement windows
Replacing replacement windows in England and Wales is notifiable work under the building regulations. A firm registered with a competent person scheme such as FENSA can certify its own work, which is the simplest way to get the paperwork you will need when you sell. Ask any installer which scheme they belong to, and ask to see the certificate when the job is done.
When you have a shortlist, compare the prices for every product in your region, then put your own quotes through the quote checker before you sign.
