Double Glazing

[ali]

Any ideas how much UPVC double glazing costs per window? And whether it improves the value of the home. Most of houses in my street have the white double glazing, so it certainly wont make mine look out of place.

You will be looking at an average window price of £350 per window fitted.

Any idea what we should be looking to pay for double glazed sash windows? uPVC or wood? The price seems a lot different to that just suggested!

james, i'm actually just getting a few quotes at the moment for some uPVC windows and £350 sounded about right for the standard style. Sadly they aren't sash windows, I image they cost an awful lot more. I've checked our database and we have little info in that area, if you could let us know some prices then maybe some other people can say whether they seem reasonable or not?

£350 - £400 is a typical price we would sell a upvc window at.

re sash uvpc double glazing units : we have just had two fitted for £1300 sizes approx 1.20 m x 090cm. they are fantastic ! we had several silly quotes from the big companies but this was done by a one man business who ordered them from a manufacturer in s wales

thanks for the info kaite and welcome to the forum! your price for sash windows certainly seems on the cheaper side for what we have seen, probably due to the one man business with lower overheads?

I'd been thinking about putting double glazing in, but I live in a conservation area- some houses in the street already have UPVC windows, so I guess I'd be OK?  Does anyone know how long it takes to check these things out with councils?

A lot depends on your council? What restrictions will they place on you? are all the propertys of a simmilar age? otherwise I would reckon on 6 to 8 weeks?
