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 BN17 fall within our coverage for replacement windows, so if your home is in Littlehampton 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 £5,000–£10,000 including VAT before that visit.

Homes in West Sussex
Chichester has Georgian brick streets, Downland villages use flint and brick, and Horsham stone slabs cover some older roofs. Worthing and Bognor Regis have interwar and post-war bungalows and semis, Crawley was planned as a post-war new town, and Wealden villages to the north feature tile-hanging and timber framing.
Coastal towns face salt-laden south-westerly winds, while Wealden clay inland can shrink and swell with the seasons.
Whatever era your Littlehampton home dates from, we plan replacement windows around how it is actually built rather than a one-size-fits-all specification.
Planning and building rules in Littlehampton
As Littlehampton is in England, 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.
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?
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.
Written quote
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.
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.
Build and hand over
Work goes ahead as scheduled and you deal with one contact throughout. When the last trade leaves, we clear and clean the site, talk you through what has been done and pass on any certificates and care instructions.
What you can expect from us
Replacement windows in Littlehampton: questions
Can you combine replacement windows with other work?
Yes. Because we manage several trades under one contract, we can plan replacement windows alongside other work on your Littlehampton home, such as new windows with rendering, or a kitchen refit with an extension. Combining jobs can reduce repeat set-up such as scaffolding, skips and access, and every element is listed and priced in the same written quote.
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.
How much do replacement windows cost?
Replacement windows for a typical 3-bed semi cost £5,000–£10,000, 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.
How much will replacement windows cost in Littlehampton?
As a guide, expect to pay £5,000–£10,000 including VAT for replacement windows in Littlehampton. 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.
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.
