Do You Need Permission to Replace Windows in London?
It depends on the borough and the street. London’s 32 boroughs and the City of London each set their own conservation areas and Article 4 directions, and many inner boroughs have dozens: Wandsworth alone has 46.
The table shows the conservation areas each council lists for the boroughs where we have local pages. Each page explains that borough’s rules: Kensington and Chelsea, for example, has a borough-wide order covering like-for-like replacement windows, while parts of Ealing and Hounslow have Article 4 directions that cover windows.
| Borough | Conservation areas | Our page |
|---|---|---|
| Kensington & Chelsea | 37 | Kensington & Chelsea |
| Hammersmith & Fulham | 44 | Hammersmith & Fulham |
| Wandsworth | 46 | Wandsworth |
| Merton | 29 | Merton and Wimbledon |
| Richmond upon Thames | 85 | Richmond upon Thames |
| Kingston upon Thames | 26 | Kingston upon Thames |
| Harrow | 30 | Harrow |
| Hillingdon | 31 | Hillingdon |
Outside those areas, a house keeps its permitted development rights for windows; flats don’t, so new windows in a London flat almost always need planning permission. The government’s Article 4 direction dataset maps directions by council, and Historic England’s National Heritage List for England shows whether a building is listed.
If your house is listed, you need listed building consent: applying is free, the council has 8 weeks to decide, and replacing windows without consent is a criminal offence. We supply profile drawings and material specifications for the application, and our page on replacing windows in listed buildings covers the rest.
Get the approval first, then order to the approved drawings. Ordering first and applying later is how people end up with windows the council won’t accept. Building regulations still apply to a full replacement; our standard double glazed windows have a whole-window U-value of 1.4 W/m²K, which meets Part L for replacement windows in England.
Delivery
Delivery to London: Lead Time, Cost and Fitting
Each order is made in about 20 working days from order confirmation and deposit, then delivered to your London address. Delivery is charged separately and shown on your quote.
We deliver across Greater London, from Marylebone and the City to the outer boroughs. Our other London pages cover Ealing, Hounslow, Brent, Barnet and Enfield. Larger orders may qualify for free delivery.
We don’t install. The windows arrive factory-finished and double glazed, and your own joiner or builder fits them. Your fitter will want the sizes right first time, so read how to measure wooden windows for replacement before you send them over.
Payment is simple: a 50% deposit books production and the other 50% is due on delivery, by bank transfer. Tell us about access and parking at your address when you ask for a quote.
London project
Timber Windows We’ve Made for a London Terrace
A recent London job: white timber sash windows for a two-storey painted bay on a terrace house.
Bays like this are where made-to-measure earns its keep: every sash in a bay is a slightly different size, and each one is made to its opening. Our timber sash windows on weights are balanced individually: each sash is weighed after glazing and the weights matched to it.
Many London terraces have sashes with horns and glazing bars; our guide to Victorian sash windows covers the patterns. More finished jobs are in our project gallery.
Timber and prices
Which Timber Suits a London Home, and What Does It Cost?
Engineered pine starts at £449+VAT per window and lasts 25–35 years when maintained. Meranti costs about 20–30% more and lasts 35–45 years. Solid European oak costs £799–1,299+VAT and lasts around 50 years.
| Timber | Construction | Service life (maintained) | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scandinavian pine | 3-layer engineered | 25–35 years | From £449+VAT | Painted windows on sheltered walls |
| Dark Red meranti | 3-layer engineered hardwood | 35–45 years | About 20–30% more than pine | Exposed walls |
| European oak | Solid | Around 50 years | £799–1,299+VAT | Grain on show, clear or stained |
For painted windows, engineered pine is the sensible choice. Meranti, our hardwood option, is worth the extra on exposed elevations, and solid oak windows are the choice if you want the grain on show.
On a busy road, acoustic laminated glass adds £100–150 per window; our page on double glazed timber windows explains what goes into the unit. Meranti and oak are compared on our hardwood windows page, and every upgrade price is under timber window prices.

Timber Windows in London: FAQ
Do I need planning permission to replace windows in London?
–
+
It depends on the borough. Flats need planning permission almost everywhere, listed buildings need listed building consent, and houses under an Article 4 direction need permission for window changes. Each borough sets its own rules, so check with your council, or start with our borough page, before you order.
Do you install timber windows in London?
–
+
No. We are supply only: we make the windows to your sizes, factory-finish and double glaze them, and deliver them to your London address. Your own joiner or builder fits them. If you haven’t got a fitter yet, line one up before you order so they can check the openings and the sizes.
How much does delivery to London cost?
–
+
Delivery is charged separately and shown on your quote, so you see the full cost before you pay the deposit. Larger orders may qualify for free delivery. Windows are made in about 20 working days from order confirmation and deposit, and the balance is paid on delivery by bank transfer.
Can you make acoustic timber windows for a London main road?
–
+
Yes. Every window is double glazed as standard, and acoustic laminated glass adds £100–150 per window. It is the upgrade most worth having on a busy road. Triple glazing adds 25–35% and makes the window about 50% heavier, so for most London homes it isn’t worth it.
Do you have a showroom in London?
–
+
No. We don’t have showrooms: we sell direct by phone, email and our quote form. Send your sizes and photos and we’ll send a detailed quote within 48 hours, with the delivery charge shown. Finished jobs, including a terrace bay in London, are in our project gallery.
