Local housing and replacement windows
Armagh city has Georgian buildings, many in local limestone, around its historic centre. Portadown and Lurgan, linked by the Craigavon plan of the 1960s, have Victorian terraces, post-war estates and newer developments. The countryside is dotted with detached rural houses and bungalows, often finished in roughcast or render.
A moderate inland climate with frequent rain and winter frost, and low ground near Lough Neagh can be wet.
In Portadown, as elsewhere in County Armagh, we take the building's age and construction into account before recommending anything, because both can change what is involved in replacement windows.
Planning and building rules in Portadown
As Portadown is in Northern Ireland, read the following with that system of planning and building control in mind. We check what applies to your house with the council before you receive a quote.
In Northern Ireland, like-for-like replacement windows and doors on a house rarely need planning permission. Listed buildings and conservation areas are the main exceptions, so check with the council before changing style or material.
The Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) apply to replacement windows, so the work needs building control approval or sign-off through an approved competent person route.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
How does the job run?
A visit to your home
It starts with a survey at the property, free of charge. We check condition, access and services, ask how you want the finished result to look, and answer any questions you have about replacement windows.
Your fixed price
The quote arrives in writing, not over the phone. It covers the full scope, the finishes you've chosen, any exclusions and the payment schedule, with a fixed price tied to that specification.
Plan and prepare
We handle the paperwork side: checking whether planning permission or building control approval is needed, submitting applications where they are, and scheduling the trades and materials around your dates.
Build and hand over
Work goes ahead as scheduled and you deal with one contact throughout. When the last trade leaves, we clear and clean the site, talk you through what has been done and pass on any certificates and care instructions.
How we work
Questions about replacement windows in Portadown
Will new windows stop condensation?
New windows reduce condensation on the glass because the inner pane stays warmer, but they do not remove the moisture in the air that causes it. Modern frames are also more airtight, so ventilation matters more after replacement. We fit trickle vents where regulations require them, and we suggest using extractor fans and opening windows regularly. If walls are damp or mouldy, it is worth looking at ventilation and heating at the same time.
How much do replacement windows cost?
Replacement windows for a typical 3-bed semi cost £3,900–£7,700, depending on the number of windows, frame material and glazing. A single standard uPVC casement usually works out at roughly £500–£950 fitted, while aluminium, flush sash and sliding sash styles cost more. Bays, large panes and upstairs access add to the price. We measure every opening during the survey and give you a fixed price for the agreed specification.
Which postcodes in Portadown do you cover?
We cover BT62, along with the rest of County Armagh. If your postcode is not listed, get in touch anyway: our coverage is UK-wide, and we can usually arrange a survey wherever you live. Enter your postcode in the guide-price tool or contact form and we will confirm.
What happens on the day the windows are fitted?
On fitting day we lay dust sheets, protect floors and furniture near each window, and then remove the old frame carefully to limit damage to plaster. The new frame is fixed, packed, sealed and glazed, and internal trims and external cills are finished. We take away the old windows and clean the glass before leaving. You only need to clear sills and take down curtains and blinds.
How long will replacement windows take?
On a typical home, allow 1–2 days on site for a typical house. Larger projects, older buildings and extra work found once things are opened up can extend that, while simpler jobs may be shorter. Your quote includes an estimate of time on site, and your point of contact keeps you updated on the programme as the work progresses.
