What can move a 3-bed quote above or below £8,000–£15,000?

  • The real number and dimensions of openings.
  • Bay, bow or sash windows instead of standard casements.
  • uPVC versus aluminium or timber frames.
  • Double versus triple glazing and acoustic/security specification.
  • Scaffolding, upper-floor access and making good.
  • Doors included in the same glazing package.

How to compare quotes

Compare the same window schedule, frame material, glass specification, hardware, vents, removal, disposal and making-good scope. A cheaper total is not necessarily cheaper if one quote excludes access equipment or finishing work.

Frequently asked questions

How much does double glazing cost for a 3-bedroom house in 2026?

The current Checkatrade benchmark for a typical 3-bedroom whole-house project is about £8,000–£15,000.

How many windows does a 3-bed house have?

There is no fixed number. House design matters more than bedroom count, so use the whole-house benchmark only as a starting point and count the actual openings for a quote.

How much is a casement window?

Current fitted guidance is about £500–£1,250 per casement window, averaging around £1,000.

Does triple glazing cost more?

Usually yes. Glass specification, frame material, size and installation complexity all affect the premium, so compare like-for-like specifications rather than only the headline total.
