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 arrange replacement windows for homeowners in Fulham and the wider London. The job is planned, priced and managed by us and carried out by tradespeople engaged under our contract, so there is one agreement and one contact. On a typical home the work takes 1–2 days on site for a typical house, and guide pricing in London is £5,800–£11,500, VAT included.

Building in Fulham
London's housing is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often in yellow London stock brick, with Georgian terraces in central districts and mansion blocks across many inner areas. Outer boroughs have large belts of interwar semis, and there are extensive post-war council estates. Many houses have been split into flats, and conservation areas are widespread.
Terraces suit side-return extensions and rear dormer loft conversions; interwar semis commonly take hip-to-gable lofts. Shared party walls, restricted parking and conservation rules often shape the plans and the programme.
None of this holds for every street in Fulham, which is why we look at your actual house before pricing replacement windows rather than assuming from its age alone.
Permissions for replacement windows in Fulham
Planning law differs across the UK. For a home in Fulham, it is the England rules below that count, and we check them with the council ahead of any quote.
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.
How does the job run?
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.
Quote in writing
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
Next comes planning the work itself. We set a start date that suits you, line up the right trades, and make sure any approvals for replacement windows are in place before the first day on site.
On site to finish
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.
What you can expect from us
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose uPVC or aluminium windows?
uPVC windows are the lower-cost choice, insulate well and need only occasional cleaning, which suits most houses. Aluminium windows have slimmer frames that let in more light and suit modern homes or large openings, but they cost more. Both come in a wide range of colours and finishes. We usually recommend matching the style and proportions of your home's original windows, especially on period properties.
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.
Can I stay at home during the work?
In most cases, yes. Most people can live at home throughout, and we plan the work to keep disruption down by protecting floors, agreeing working hours and keeping access routes clear. Bigger jobs affecting kitchens, bathrooms or heating may mean a short spell with reduced facilities, and we talk this through with you at the survey.
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.
How much do replacement windows cost?
Replacement windows for a typical 3-bed semi cost £5,800–£11,500, 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.
