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.
Addresses across SA15 fall within our coverage for replacement windows, so if your home is in Llanelli we can arrange a survey on a day that works for you. We inspect the existing building, discuss materials and layout, and then price the agreed specification in writing. Expect a guide range of £4,100–£8,300 including VAT before that visit.

Local housing and replacement windows
Dyfed covers Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire. Stone cottages and farmhouses under slate roofs are common, often rendered or colour-washed, as in Tenby's brightly painted terraces. Llanelli has Victorian industrial terraces, Aberystwyth and Carmarthen have Georgian and Victorian centres, and bungalows and newer estates surround most towns.
Atlantic weather brings strong winds, driving rain and salt to the coast, so exposure ratings matter when specifying render and pointing.
None of this holds for every street in Llanelli, which is why we look at your actual house before pricing replacement windows rather than assuming from its age alone.
Do you need permission in Llanelli?
As Llanelli is in Wales, 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 Wales, replacing windows and doors on a house usually needs no planning permission if the new ones are similar in appearance. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation areas are controlled, so the council should be asked first.
Building Regulations in Wales apply to replacement windows and doors, covering energy performance, ventilation and escape routes. A registered competent person can self-certify the work, or building control inspects it.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
The four stages
We look at the job
We begin by looking at the job in person. During the free survey we discuss options, materials and budget for replacement windows, and photograph or measure anything the quote needs to reflect.
Price and scope agreed
Next you receive a written quote with a fixed price for the agreed specification. It lists what is included, what is not, and how payments are staged, so you can compare it properly.
Getting ready
With the quote agreed, we book the work in and handle preparation: permissions where needed, building control notifications, material orders and access arrangements for your Llanelli property.
The work itself
The job proceeds in the order set out in the programme, with dust and debris kept under control. Finally we tidy away, inspect the work together and pass the finished project over to you with its paperwork.
Why homeowners choose us
Common questions
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.
Do I need planning permission in Llanelli?
It depends on the work, the size of the project, your property type and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. Llanelli is in Wales, so Wales's rules apply. Many smaller jobs need no planning application, but some still need building control approval. We check what applies to your address before quoting.
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.
Which postcodes in Llanelli do you cover?
We cover SA15, along with the rest of Dyfed. 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.
How much do replacement windows cost?
Replacement windows for a typical 3-bed semi cost £4,100–£8,300, 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.
