Glazing (single, double or triple)
Installation costs (varying per provider)

Useful things to think about:

Have you decided if you need new windows or replacement windows?

Things to think about before deciding on a window provider:

What is the problem with your current windows?
What do you want your window company to offer you – full installation or supply only?
How big is the budget for this project?
Are you replacing these windows as part of another project or as a stand-alone project?
Is the window company accredited?

What to think about when you reach the buying phase:

What is the style of your home and how will the windows fit that style?
Will the opening of the window obstruct anything?
Will you be able to clean all of the panes easily?
What kind of window glass suits your needs?
Are the windows covered by a warranty?
What kinds of windows do you need in different areas of your home?

Which window style and material will suit my home?

Period houses generally suit wooden sash windows best
Modern homes allow for flexibility – aluminium or alu clad windows are two sleek options
Most modern homes have uPVC windows as they are cheap, durable and efficient

My windows aren’t so bad, how can I spruce them up?

After evaluating your current window situation you may decide that replacing them or getting a new style of window completely may not be the best solution for you.

However, if you have problems with your windows here are some cheaper and easier solutions:

Problem	Possible solutions
My window won't open fully or properly	Casement windows: Look into buying replacement parts such as the sash support system or the window operator (handle mechanism). Sometimes the moving parts just need cleaning or lubricating. Sash windows: If the window has swollen due to heat you can sand or plane the wood panes down to make them slide more easily
My window lets in a chilly draught	Install a draught excluder or replace a faulty one If you see small cracks, fill them with nail polish
The latches on my window are broken, making me feel unsafe	Buy replacements online and install them yourself or ask a handyman
The glass in my window is foggy	If you are able to remove your window sash, take it to a hardware shop to have the glass or insulated seal replaced
The outside window sill is rotten	The sill can be replaced by itself if the rot has not spread - cut back the rotten wood and replace it with new wood that you can measure from your original cut
One or more panes of glass are broken	You can remove the glass yourself but always wear extensive protective gear and tape the glass to remove it safely Glass replacement is cheaper than window replacement

Keep in mind that windows can be tricky things, so consulting with a professional is advised when implementing these solutions.
