Ashford (Surrey): uPVC windows
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.
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.
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.
In England, Approved Document L sets the standard for a replacement window in an existing home: a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or better, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or above. The new window should also be no worse than the one it replaces. The other UK nations set their own figures.
What's included
- Survey and measurement of every opening
- Fitting, packing and fixing into the existing opening

- Coast
- Ashford (Surrey) is well inland, around 57 km from the nearest coast, so salt exposure is not usually a factor.
- Daylight and sun
- In Ashford (Surrey) 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 England
- 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.

Listed buildings in England need listed building consent for most changes to historic windows or glass, and conservation areas can restrict changes visible from the street. Speak to the council's conservation officer before ordering.
Options to choose between
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.
Georgian or astragal bars
Bars set between the panes or applied to the faces of the glass for a traditional divided-pane look.
uPVC Windows in Ashford (Surrey): 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.
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.
Are uPVC windows secure?
Modern uPVC windows can be very secure when they have multi-point locks, internal glazing beads, key-locking handles and laminated glass where needed. PAS 24 is the security standard expected for easily accessible windows in new homes in England. Ask for ground-floor windows tested to it, and avoid frames where the glass is beaded from outside.
