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.
Anyone planning replacement windows in Deal wants three things: a clear price, a realistic timetable and a tidy job. We publish a guide of £5,000–£10,000 including VAT for the South East up front, explain that work normally takes 1–2 days on site for a typical house, and confirm both in writing after a free survey of your property.

Replacement windows prices in Deal
Prices for replacement windows vary from house to house, but in Deal most projects fall within £5,000–£10,000 including VAT. That reflects costs in the South East, about 12% above the national guide. Treat the table as a budgeting aid; the written figure follows a survey we carry out for free.
| Type of job | What it usually involves | Guide in Deal |
|---|---|---|
| One to three windows | Replacing a few problem windows, such as a bay or a rotten kitchen window, in uPVC. | £800–£3,400 |
| Whole house in uPVC | Eight to ten standard uPVC casement windows on a typical 3-bed semi, fitted and finished. | £5,000–£8,400 |
| Whole house in aluminium or flush sash | Premium frames, colours or period styles across a typical 3-bed home. | £8,400–£15,500 |
The main things that change the figure:
- Number and size of windows, including bays and large picture windows
- Frame material, colour and finish, inside and out
- Window style, such as sash, flush sash or tilt-and-turn
- Upper-floor access, scaffolding and the condition of reveals and sills
What’s included?
- Measured survey of every opening, with sizes checked before manufacture
- Double-glazed units as standard, with triple glazing as an option
- Careful removal and disposal of the old frames and glass
- Fixings, packers, foam and weather seals to suit your wall type
- New internal trims, external cills and neat sealant finishing
- Trickle vents, escape hinges and safety glass where regulations require
Building in Deal
Kent's older buildings include oast houses, weatherboarded cottages, Wealden timber-framed houses and Kentish ragstone walls. Medway towns have long rows of Victorian terraces, Margate and Ramsgate have Regency and Victorian seafronts, and Ashford, Maidstone and Dartford have seen large new estates alongside interwar and post-war housing.
One of England's sunnier, drier counties, but Thanet and the coast are windy, and Weald and London Clay soils can shrink in summer.
In Deal, as elsewhere in Kent, we take the building's age and construction into account before recommending anything, because both can change what is involved in replacement windows.
Permissions for replacement windows in Deal
The notes below cover England, which is where Deal sits. Rules change and every property is different, so we speak to the council before pricing your job.
Replacing windows and doors on a house is usually permitted development in England when the new ones look broadly similar to the old. Flats, listed buildings and homes covered by an Article 4 direction can need consent, and conservation areas may limit materials or styles.
Replacement windows and external doors must meet Building Regulations for energy efficiency, ventilation and, on upper floors, escape. The work is either self-certified by an installer registered with a competent person scheme or signed off by building control.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
What happens after you get in touch?
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.
Your fixed price
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.
Booking the work
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.
Finish and handover
Our trades complete replacement windows while your point of contact keeps you updated. When everything is finished, we clear the site, take away waste and go through the result with you before handover.
Why homeowners choose us
Replacement windows in Deal: 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.
How much will replacement windows cost in Deal?
As a guide, expect to pay £5,000–£10,000 including VAT for replacement windows in Deal. That range is adjusted for the South East, which runs about 12% above the national guide. Where your project lands depends on size, materials, access and the condition of what is already there. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey of your home.
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.
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.
Do I need planning permission in Deal?
It depends on the work, the size of the project, your property type and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. Deal is in England, so England'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.
