What drives the price

  • Material: uPVC is the budget anchor; timber and aluminium carry the premium.
  • Size and opening style: bays, sashes and doors price differently from casements.
  • Glazing spec: double is standard; triple and acoustic glass add per unit.
  • Installation access: upper floors and conservation details add labour.

All figures come from the same validated 2026 price data as the calculator above (sources: Checkatrade, MyJobQuote and comparable national 2026 cost guides, checked August 2026; see how we price), so this page and your estimate can never disagree.

Frequently asked questions

How many windows should I replace at once?

Whole-house replacement gets a better per-window price than one-by-one, and one installation visit. But mixing is fine: many owners do the weather-beaten side now and the rest later. The calculator prices any number of units.

Do these prices include VAT?

Yes, all ranges include 20% VAT. New builds and some energy-saving works can qualify for 0% or reduced VAT; ask your installer whether your project applies.

Why is London so much more expensive?

Labour is the driver: London trades charge roughly 25% above the national average, and parking, access and waste logistics add friction. Nationally this project runs £4,000 to £8,000; the calculator switches region in one click.

How accurate is this range?

It is a guide range from national 2026 cost guides, adjusted for finish level and region. Real quotes vary per trade, property and specification; treat it as a starting point, budget 10 to 15 percent contingency, and always get at least three itemised quotes.
