Replacement windows are new frames and sealed double- or triple-glazed units fitted into your existing openings after the old windows are taken out, improving warmth, security and noise reduction while meeting current building regulations.
Whatever prompted you to look into replacement windows, whether wear and tear, a growing family or plans to move, we can survey your Omagh home and give you a price in writing. Homes in Northern Ireland typically come in at £3,900–£7,700, VAT included, for this kind of work. We also cover Strabane, Enniskillen and Cookstown, and the same steps apply wherever you are in County Tyrone.

What are homes like around Omagh?
Tyrone is largely rural, with detached houses and bungalows on individual plots across the countryside, many finished in render or roughcast. Omagh, Dungannon, Cookstown and Strabane have Victorian terraced streets, post-war estates and newer developments, and stone farmhouses survive in older rural areas.
Wet and fairly cool, with upland exposure in the Sperrins and frost common through the winter months.
That variety is why a guide price for replacement windows in Omagh is only a starting point; the survey shows what your particular property needs.
Permissions for replacement windows in Omagh
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland each handle planning a little differently. Omagh comes under Northern Ireland, covered below, and we raise any questions with the council before your quote is finalised.
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.
From survey to handover
Survey and measure
Book a visit and we'll come to you. The survey covers measurements, the state of what's there now and any obvious constraints, so the price that follows is based on your actual home, not an average.
Quote in writing
After the survey we send a quote for replacement windows that fixes the price for the scope we've agreed. If you want to change materials or scope, we revise it in writing before anything is booked.
Dates and permissions
Preparation matters as much as the build. We agree access, parking and working hours with you, order materials in good time, and confirm any permissions so the job isn't held up once it starts.
On site to finish
On site, the agreed plan is followed and any change is put in writing first. At completion we do a final clean, go through the snagging list with you and leave you with the relevant documents.
How we work
Questions about replacement windows in Omagh
Who do I deal with during the job?
One point of contact manages your project from survey to handover. They schedule the trades working under our contract, keep you updated on progress, and are the person to call with any question. You don't need to coordinate builders, electricians or decorators separately, because that is part of what we do.
How long does it take to fit windows in a house?
Fitting replacement windows in a typical 3-bed house usually takes one to two days on site. We take out and fit one window at a time, so each room is weathertight again within an hour or two. Bays, sash windows and homes needing scaffolding take longer. Manufacture comes first: made-to-measure frames typically take a few weeks to arrive after the survey and your order are confirmed.
How do I look after new uPVC or aluminium windows?
Caring for new windows is simple: wash frames and glass with warm soapy water a few times a year, avoiding abrasive cleaners and solvents. Clear the drainage slots at the bottom of the frame so rainwater can escape, and put a drop of light oil on hinges and locking points once a year. Check seals and the sealant around the outside every few years, and replace any that have cracked or shrunk.
Is the price fixed?
Yes, for the specification we agree. Your written quote sets out exactly what is included at a fixed price. It only changes if you ask for something different, or if a problem the survey could not reasonably reveal later needs extra work. In either case we explain the change and confirm it in writing before going ahead.
Do I need planning permission for new windows?
Planning permission is not usually needed to replace windows with similar ones, but it depends on the size and style of the change, your home's location, whether it is listed or in a conservation area, and which UK nation you live in. Listed buildings normally need consent for any change, and some conservation areas restrict uPVC or new styles. Flats may also need the building owner's approval. We check the position for your property before quoting.
