How much do uPVC windows cost in Nottingham? (2026)

5 min read

New uPVC windows cut draughts, noise and heating bills, but quotes for the same house can vary by thousands depending on the installer and the glazing. Here's an honest 2026 guide to what uPVC windows cost in Nottingham, per window and for a whole house.

Typical uPVC window costs

Supplied and fitted, a standard uPVC casement window in Nottingham typically costs around £450–£800 each, depending on size, style and glass. Larger or more complex windows — bays, sash-style or triple-glazed — cost more, often £800–£1,500+ each.

For a whole house, budget roughly £3,500–£6,000 for a small terrace (around 5–7 windows), £5,000–£8,000 for a typical semi, and £8,000–£12,000+ for a larger detached with more or bigger windows. A front door is usually £700–£1,500 on top.

Most reputable installers price the job as a package, including removing and disposing of the old windows, fitting, sealing and making good — check that's included rather than a hidden extra.

What affects the price

The number, size and style of windows — bays, sash-style and shaped windows cost more than standard casements — and the glazing spec (A-rated double versus triple glazing, acoustic or obscure glass).

Colour and finish: white uPVC is cheapest, while woodgrain foils (anthracite grey, oak) and coloured frames add a premium.

Access (upper floors needing scaffolding), the condition of the existing openings, and whether any are also being enlarged or changed, which brings in extra building work.

How to avoid overpaying

Window sales are notorious for pressure tactics and "today only" discounts — ignore them and never sign on the first visit. Get two or three written quotes for the same spec (frame, glazing, colour, FENSA registration) so you can compare like for like.

Make sure the installer is FENSA or CERTASS registered so the work is self-certified for building regs and you get the certificate. On Rank My Builder you can reach verified local installers and check genuine reviews before committing.

FAQs

Do new windows need building regs sign-off?

Yes — replacement windows are covered by building regulations for energy efficiency. A FENSA or CERTASS registered installer can self-certify the work and give you the certificate, which you'll need when you sell. Otherwise the work has to be signed off by Building Control.

How long do uPVC windows last?

Good-quality uPVC windows typically last 20–30 years. The frames outlast the sealed glass units, which can mist up over time and sometimes be replaced individually without changing the whole window.
