How much do new windows cost in Berkshire?

It’s the first question most homeowners ask, and the honest answer is that there’s no single figure. The cost of new windows depends on your property, the materials you choose, how many windows you’re replacing, and how straightforward the installation is. What this guide does is explain the factors that actually move the price, so you can budget realistically before you arrange a quote.

What affects the price of new windows?

Material

Material is usually the biggest single factor. UPVC is the most cost-effective option and suits most homes; aluminium typically costs more but offers slimmer frames and a contemporary look; timber sits at the premium end and is often the right choice for period or conservation-area properties.

• UPVC: best balance of performance and value for most homes
• Aluminium: slim sightlines, more glass, modern aesthetic
• Timber: authentic look for period homes, higher upfront and ongoing cost

You can compare the options on our UPVC, aluminium and timber window pages.

Number and size of windows

The more windows you replace, the higher the total, but the lower the cost per window tends to be. Larger openings, bay and bow configurations and non-standard shapes take more material and labour than standard casements, so they sit higher up the range.

Style and glazing

Casement windows are generally the most economical style. Sash, bay, bow and tilt-and-turn windows involve more engineering and cost more. Glazing choices, double or triple glazing, acoustic glass, decorative or obscured glass, also affect the final figure.

Property and access

Older properties may need extra preparation if the existing openings or surrounds have deteriorated. Access matters too: upper-floor windows or restricted external space can add time to the installation.

How to get an accurate figure

Because every home is different, the only reliable way to know what your project will cost is a site survey. Measurements are taken on site, the condition of the existing openings is assessed, and you receive a clear, itemised quote with no obligation. That’s far more useful than a generic “average” price that may not reflect your property at all.
