HR++ glass installation in Poole
Prices are valid for 2026 and are indicative
Here you can see what hr++ glass installation in Poole costs on average. We explain what the price consists of and which local factors have the biggest impact.
In the UK, double glazing costs £400–£1,200 per window depending on size, material (uPVC, aluminium, timber), and glazing specification (double or triple). A full house replacement (8–12 windows) typically runs £5,000–£12,000 for uPVC and £8,000–£20,000 for aluminium or timber frames.
All replacement windows must comply with Building Regulations (Part L) and be installed by a FENSA-registered or CERTASS-registered installer, or alternatively covered by a local authority building notice — otherwise you'll need Building Regulations approval separately.

Cost factors
Double glazing costs per window in the UK, including supply and installation (VAT at 20%).
- uPVC casement window (standard size): £400–£800
- uPVC sash window (Victorian/Edwardian style): £600–£1,200
- Aluminium window (standard size): £700–£1,400
- Timber window (standard size): £800–£2,000
- Full house (8–12 uPVC windows): £5,000–£12,000
- Full house (8–12 aluminium windows): £8,000–£20,000
Prices include FENSA registration and certificate. Triple glazing (recommended for north-facing and exposed elevations) adds 20–40% to costs but can reduce heating bills by a further 10–15%.
Why do prices vary?
- Frame material: uPVC is cheapest and most common. Aluminium offers a slimmer, more modern profile. Timber is traditional and required in many conservation areas but needs more maintenance.
- Window style: Casement windows are the simplest and cheapest. Sash windows (popular in Victorian and Edwardian homes) are more complex and expensive due to their sliding mechanism.
- Glass specification: Standard A-rated double glazing is the minimum for Building Regulations compliance. A++ or triple glazing is better for exposed or north-facing windows.
- Conservation areas and listed buildings: Conservation area or listed building restrictions may require timber frames, specific styles, or planning permission. Costs can be significantly higher.
- Number of windows: Full-house replacement offers economies of scale — per-window cost decreases for larger orders. Always get a total price, not just per-unit quotes.
- Removal and disposal of old windows: Most FENSA installers include removal and disposal in the price — confirm this before signing.
Subsidies & incentives
There is no dedicated double glazing grant in England. However, window upgrades may be funded as part of a broader retrofit package through the Warm Homes Local Grant. In Scotland, the Home Energy Scotland scheme offers interest-free loans of up to £15,000 for energy improvements, including windows. Wales's Nest scheme and Northern Ireland's Affordable Warmth scheme provide support for eligible households. VAT on double glazing is the standard 20% — it does not qualify for the 0% Energy Saving Materials rate.
