White uPVC windows across Nelson (Mid Glamorgan)
uPVC no longer means white only. Frames can be foiled in woodgrain or solid colours such as grey, black or cream, often outside only with white inside. Foils are bonded at the factory and should be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild detergent, because abrasive pads and solvents mark the surface.
Windows are replaced room by room, so each opening is only exposed for a short spell. A single window is usually changed within a day, and a typical house takes a few days depending on the number of windows, bays and access. Inside, reveals are finished with trims, sealant or filler.
The price of uPVC windows depends mainly on size, the number of opening sashes, frame colour, glass specification and hardware. Bay windows, openings that need a tower or scaffold, and difficult removal of old frames add labour. See the guide prices for typical ranges; your written quote fixes the exact figure.
Bay windows need extra care. Some older bays carry load from the wall or roof above, so the glazier checks the support before removal and may fit bay poles or ask for structural advice. Replacing a window in the same opening is different from widening it, which needs a new lintel.
What you get
- Made-to-measure frames with sealed double glazed units
- Fitting, packing and fixing into the existing opening
- Removal and disposal of the old windows

About Nelson (Mid Glamorgan) for this job
- Postcodes covered
- CF46, CF82, CF45 and the surrounding area, including Treharris, Gelligaer and Bargoed
- Coast
- Nelson (Mid Glamorgan) is well inland, around 21 km from the nearest coast, so salt exposure is not usually a factor.
- Daylight and sun
- In Nelson (Mid Glamorgan) the midwinter sun reaches about 15° above the horizon at noon, with roughly 7.6 hours of daylight, rising to about 62° and 16.4 hours in midsummer. uPVC frames are bulkier than aluminium, so they take a little more glass area from small windows. On south and west elevations, solar-control or neutral low-E glass limits overheating, while north-facing rooms benefit from high light-transmission glass and warm-edge spacers that reduce condensation.
- Access and setting
- Older rural cottages often have irregular openings, thick walls and timber lintels, so every frame is measured individually and the support above each opening is checked. Exposed hillside and open-field sites benefit from reinforced frames and careful sealing against driving rain.
- Rules in Wales
- In Wales, Approved Document N covers safety glazing: safety glass is needed in and around doors and in low-level glazing where people could walk into it.

uPVC Windows in Nelson (Mid Glamorgan): questions
Will fitting new windows damage my plaster or decor?
Some disturbance is normal, but it is usually limited to the edges of each opening. The glazier cuts out the old frame, fits the new one and finishes the inside with trims, sealant or filler. Older frames set deep into plaster may need some plaster repair, and we flag that at survey so it is covered in the quote.
Should I choose double or triple glazing?
Well-specified double glazing with low-E glass and warm-edge spacers can meet the energy standard for replacement windows, and the certified rating confirms it. Triple glazing adds a third pane, which helps on cold, noisy or north-facing elevations, but the units are heavier and need frames designed for them. We can quote both so you can compare.
How long does it take to fit uPVC windows?
Most single windows are changed within a day, and a typical house usually takes a few days. Bays, large picture windows and openings that need a tower or scaffold take longer. Manufacturing comes first, because every frame is made to the survey measurements, and the lead time is confirmed with your quote.
What guarantee comes with new uPVC windows?
Manufacturer guarantees apply to new frames, sealed units and hardware, and the terms are confirmed in writing. Guarantee terms for the installation are set out in writing with your quote, so you know what is covered and for how long before you commit. Keep this paperwork with your building regulations certificate, because buyers' solicitors usually ask for both.
