Northamptonshire: uPVC casement windows

uPVC window frames are made from extruded profiles with several internal chambers that trap air and slow heat loss. Larger frames, and those on exposed elevations, are usually reinforced with steel or aluminium inside the profile so they stay straight and the locks keep engaging properly over the years.

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.

Some upstairs windows are escape routes in a fire. In England, the Approved Document B guidance for an escape window is a clear openable area of at least 0.33 m², at least 450mm high and 450mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1100mm above the floor.

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 applies in Northamptonshire

Approved Document K requires safety glass in critical locations in England: glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door, up to 1500 mm above floor level, and any glazing in walls or partitions up to 800 mm above floor level.

Approved Document Q applies to new homes in England, where doors and windows are expected to meet PAS 24 or an equivalent standard. It does not apply to replacements in existing homes, but PAS 24 products are still a sensible choice.

Northamptonshire is inland, around 66 km from the nearest coast at its closest point, so salt exposure is rarely a factor.

In terraced streets and flats, old frames are usually removed and new ones fitted from inside to avoid scaffold. Parking for the van, access through communal areas, leaseholder consent and the lack of permitted development rights for flats all need checking before ordering.

Choosing your uPVC windows

Casement windows

Side-hung or top-hung sashes on friction hinges, suiting most houses, with easy-clean hinges that let upper-floor glass be cleaned from inside.

uPVC sliding sash

Vertical sliders that mimic traditional box sashes, using spring balances instead of weights, where planning rules allow uPVC.

Tilt and turn

Opens inwards from the side for cleaning or escape, or tilts from the top for secure ventilation; practical for flats and upper floors.

Double or triple glazing

Low-E double glazing suits most homes; triple glazing adds a third pane for lower heat loss and quieter rooms, but units are heavier.

uPVC Windows in Northamptonshire: questions

Do new uPVC windows need trickle vents?

In England, usually yes. Approved Document F expects ventilation after window replacement to be no worse than before, which normally means trickle vents in the new frames. Our glaziers record the existing ventilation at survey and specify vents to suit each room. Rules in the other UK nations differ, so the detail is confirmed for your address.

Do I need building regulations approval for replacement uPVC windows?

Yes. In England, replacement windows are controlled fittings, so the work must meet building regulations. An installer registered with a competent person scheme such as FENSA or Certass can self-certify the work and you receive a certificate; otherwise approval comes from building control. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland run their own systems, and we explain which route applies before work starts.

How much do uPVC windows cost?

The cost of uPVC windows depends on the size and number of windows, how many sashes open, the frame colour, the glass and the access. White casements with standard double glazing sit at the lower end, while foiled colours, triple glazing and bay windows cost more. See the guide prices for typical ranges; the written quote fixes the price for your specification.

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.
