How much do new windows cost in 2026?

Find out how materials, glazing, labour and more all affect the prices for replacement windows. - (Getty/iStock)

New windows can change how your home looks and feels, while also helping to reduce draughts, heat loss and outside noise. But working out what you should expect to pay is not always simple, as quotes can vary significantly from one property to the next.

The final cost will depend on the number of windows being replaced, their size and style, the frame material, the glazing specification and the complexity of the installation. Standard uPVC casement windows are usually the most affordable option, while timber, aluminium, sash, bay or made-to-measure windows can push the price up quickly.
