Windows & Doors in London

Sash, casement, bifold and French doors. Timber, aluminium and uPVC. Free site visits, written quote.

Window and door installation

Windows and doors are where a London home loses most of its heat and most of its character. Get them right and the house is warmer, quieter and worth more — get them wrong and you've thrown good money at a problem you'll still have. TrustBuilt Projects installs the full range: traditional timber sash windows for period properties, slim aluminium casements and bifolds for contemporary extensions, uPVC for budget-conscious replacement schemes, and solid timber or composite entrance doors. We handle the survey, the removal of the existing units, the make-good of brick reveals and plaster, the new install, the trickle vents, the weather-sealing, and the internal and external finishing. Windows are installed to current Building Regulations Part L (thermal performance) and Part Q (security for ground-floor and accessible units), with double or triple glazing as specified. On conservation-area and listed properties we work with timber specialists to match existing profiles — slim sightlines, traditional putty lines, single-pane heritage glazing where required — rather than dropping in something that ruins the elevation.

We cover all of London within 20 miles of centre — Victorian sash work in Islington, Camden and Wandsworth, aluminium bifold sets onto garden extensions in Clapham and Dulwich, and full house replacements in the suburbs. The first step is always a free site visit so we can measure properly, check the reveals and lintels, and talk you through the realistic options. You get a written quote after — never a number before we've seen the openings.

FAQ

Common windows & doors in london questions

How much do new windows cost in London?

Replacement uPVC casement windows typically run £450 to £900 per window installed. Timber sash windows sit at £1,400 to £2,800 per window depending on size and profile. Aluminium bifold doors are roughly £1,200 to £1,800 per linear metre installed. A whole-house timber sash replacement on a 4-bed terrace usually lands between £14,000 and £28,000. We provide a written quote after the free site visit.

How long does it take to replace windows?

Most windows go in at a rate of 2 to 4 per day per fitter. A whole-house replacement on a 3-bed terrace usually takes 4 to 7 working days. A single bifold door set is normally 1 to 2 days including make-good. We seal openings at the end of each day so the house stays watertight and secure overnight.

Do I need planning permission for new windows?

Like-for-like window replacement is normally permitted development. Planning permission is required for listed buildings, properties in conservation areas where there are Article 4 directions, and any change that alters the external appearance — for example switching from timber sash to uPVC casement, or enlarging an opening. We'll advise at the site visit and can submit applications where needed.

Can you match original sash windows in a period property?

Yes — bespoke timber sash windows can be made to match existing profiles, horn shapes, glazing-bar patterns and meeting rail details. Slim double-glazing units (around 11mm overall) keep the heritage look while delivering modern thermal performance. On listed properties we specify the appropriate glazing and finish to match conservation officer requirements.

Timber, aluminium or uPVC — which should I choose?

Timber for period properties and where appearance matters — needs repainting every 8 to 12 years but lasts decades. Aluminium for modern extensions, slim sightlines and large openings (bifolds, sliders) — low maintenance, premium price. uPVC for budget-conscious whole-house replacements on non-period homes — cheapest option, around 25 to 30 year lifespan. We'll talk through what makes sense for your home at the site visit.

Do you supply FENSA or similar certification?

Replacement glazing is a Building Regulations matter and certified self-installers can self-notify. Where the work falls under a competent-person scheme, we use specialist installers who are registered under the relevant scheme so the certificate is issued direct to you on completion. We'll confirm the route for your specific job at the quoting stage.

Can you put a bifold door in where there's a wall?

Yes — that's a structural job, not just a window job. We design the steel (engineer-calculated RSJ or pair of beams) to take the load, knock through, install the bifold set, and make good inside and out. Most rear-garden bifold openings on a London terrace take 2 to 3 weeks all in. Building Regs sign-off comes with it.

Costs

How much do windows and doors cost in London?

These are typical London market ranges for 2026, not a fixed price list or a quote from us — your actual cost depends on size, material, glazing spec and access, so we always price each job on a survey.

TypeTypical London cost (2026)Timeline
uPVC casement window (supply & fit, per window)£600 – £1,4001–2 days per batch
uPVC sliding sash window (per window)£1,200 – £2,8001–2 days per window
Timber sash window — softwood to hardwood/Accoya (per window)£2,000 – £4,0006–10 weeks (made to order)
Aluminium window, slim-frame (per window)£800 – £1,5004–8 weeks lead, 1 day fit
Aluminium bi-fold doors, 3-panel set (supply & install)£3,150 – £6,2006–10 weeks inc. survey
French doors, uPVC or aluminium (supply & install, per pair)£2,000 – £4,5002–6 weeks, 1–2 days fit

Ranges cover supply of the unit plus standard installation (removal, fitting, making good and certification where applicable) and include VAT. They exclude structural work such as new lintels or steels, knocking through a wall, scaffolding for upper floors, bespoke colours/finishes, and integral blinds or smart glass — all priced separately after survey.

What affects your windows and doors cost?

Frame material

uPVC is the most affordable; aluminium and especially timber (softwood, hardwood, Accoya) cost considerably more per window for the same opening.

Window style

Sliding sash units typically run around 50% more than an equivalent casement because of the more complex mechanism, weights and tighter machining.

Glazing specification

Double versus triple glazing, acoustic glass, low-E coatings, toughened or laminated panes and Georgian bars all add to the per-unit price.

Conservation areas & listed buildings

Many London boroughs require timber sashes or slimline heritage glazing to match the original, pushing material and approval costs up significantly.

Structural & access work

New lintels, widening openings for bi-folds, upper-floor scaffolding and making good plaster or brickwork are extra and can be the largest line item.

Quantity & batching

Replacing a full house of windows at once lowers the per-unit rate; one-off replacements carry higher relative survey, delivery and labour costs.
