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.
We take on replacement windows throughout Faversham and the surrounding ME13 postcodes, as well as in Whitstable, Sittingbourne and Canterbury. The guide range for this work in the South East is £5,000–£10,000 including VAT; where your project falls depends on its size, the materials you pick and how easy the site is to reach. A free survey turns that range into a fixed figure.

What are homes like around Faversham?
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.
So when we survey a Faversham property for replacement windows, the first step is working out how it was built and what has been changed since.
Planning and building rules in Faversham
Because Faversham falls under England's rules, the guidance below is the version relevant to you. Before sending a price, we check your property's position with the council.
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.
From survey to handover
A visit to your home
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.
Price and scope agreed
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.
Getting ready
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.
Build and hand over
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
Frequently asked questions
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.
Is triple glazing worth paying extra for?
Triple glazing adds a third pane of glass, which cuts heat loss and outside noise further than standard double glazing. It typically adds around a third to the cost of the glass units and makes opening sashes heavier. It makes most sense on cold or noisy elevations, or in homes being upgraded to a high energy standard. For many houses, modern double glazing with a warm edge spacer gives most of the benefit for less money.
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.
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.
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.
