Condensation inside the glass means the seal is gone. Drafts around the edges point to broken gaskets or warped timber. Soft black spots on sills show water has pooled for months. Stiff handles and cracked putty mean the unit is past repair and replacement is the safer choice now.
A standard casement window swap takes 1 to 2 hours per unit. A full house of 8 to 10 windows usually finishes in 2 days. Front doors take 3 to 5 hours, French doors up to a full day. Rendering, plaster touch-ups, or structural repairs add extra time to the schedule.
Width and height are taken brick to brick in 3 spots: top, middle, bottom. The smallest reading sets the frame size after a 10 mm fitting gap all around. Old houses may have out-of-square frames, so note the diagonal difference. Never trust a quote based on rough measurements taken by phone.
Double glazing is now the baseline for most homes. Triple glazing drops heat loss more but adds weight and cost. Low-E coatings and argon gas fill raise the U-value rating. Laminated glass blocks noise near busy roads. Ask for the exact U-value and glass thickness before signing anything.
Frames come in uPVC, aluminium, timber, or composite. uPVC needs little care and holds heat well. Aluminium is slimmer but adds thermal breaks to fight condensation. Timber looks classic but asks for repainting every 6 to 8 years. Ask the fitter which profile rating matches your wall and local weather.
Old glass and timber frames count as construction waste and should not go in a normal bin. Ask the fitter to break down the old units on site and take them away, leaving the driveway clean. Keep the waste transfer note with your invoice for proof of legal disposal.
New frames often leave a 10 to 20 mm gap around the perimeter that needs filling. Ask whether the quote includes making good the plaster or just the foam and silicone seal. Photograph the wall before work starts so any cracks afterwards are easy to pin on the fitter.
Standard white frames in common sizes arrive in 2 to 3 weeks. Coloured, foiled or non-standard sizes stretch to 5 to 7 weeks. Ask the supplier to print the order confirmation with the dispatch date and the delivery date so you can book the fitter with a real window.
If you face a road or railway, acoustic laminated glass cuts noise by 6 to 10 decibels over standard double glazing. The panes have a sticky interlayer that dampens vibration. Ask for the Rw rating in writing and compare it across quotes rather than trusting vague terms like soundproof.
Damp patches near the head or sill often point to a broken bridge in the frame, not the wall. Run your hand along the reveal and feel for cold spots. Ask the fitter to drill a small inspection hole in the frame cavity and confirm the insulation is continuous.
