Window Installation & Replacement near you in Ireland

Like-for-like replacement is usually permit-free, but many places regulate windows through energy codes, safety-glass rules, and egress requirements for bedrooms — and heritage/conservation properties almost always need consent for changes. Your installer should know local rules; ask what paperwork you'll receive at completion.

Per-window pricing with glazing spec, removal and disposal of old windows, making good internal reveals and external sealing, hardware, and warranty terms for both the unit (often 10 years) and the installation. Cheap quotes commonly exclude making-good — the messiest part.

Windows are priced per opening: the unit itself (frame material, glazing spec, size) plus installation labour. A standard-size replacement in an existing opening is the base case; enlarging openings, upper-floor access, bay windows and heritage styles add meaningfully. Whole-house jobs get per-window discounts.

uPVC/vinyl is the value pick: good insulation, low maintenance, mid-range look. Aluminium gives slim frames and durability (thermally broken frames fix its insulation weakness) at a higher price. Timber looks best and suits period homes but needs maintenance and costs most. Warranty and installer quality matter more than brand marketing.

Replacing a window in an existing opening takes 2-4 hours per window for an experienced crew — a whole house is usually 1-3 days. The wait is in manufacturing: made-to-measure windows typically take 2-8 weeks from survey to fitting.

Yes — pros replace one opening at a time so the house is never fully open, and cold-weather installation is routine in cold climates. Sealants and foams have temperature limits, so extreme cold or rain may shift a schedule, but winter is often the quieter, cheaper season to book.

Standard uPVC double-glazed windows typically land €450-900 fitted; triple glazing and alu-clad units run higher. A typical 3-bed semi full replacement lands €5,000-10,000 in uPVC.
