I currently have a massive single paned window approx 3.5 m by 1 m in
brick built extension to my house. It is actually three windows, tw small ones at each side of approx 0.5 m wide and a massive one in th middle.
As it makes the room quite cold and is a bit of a security risk, w want to update it to either a double glazed window or maybe even pati doors which would lead out to my garden.
Is there anyone out there that could answer me the following question :
1) Do we need planning permissions or building warrants for any ne windows or patio doors (the latter would require us to have 2 - 3 step built outside as well)?2) If we went for a window, I presume as the space is so big it woul have to be along the lines of the current layout ie 2 small windows an one big one in the middle? Is this possible with double glazing? Mos d-g windows I have seen are just one individual window.
3) How much would I expect to pay to have it replaced with d-g window in this way?4) Would getting patio doors be a much more expensive option (as ther would be more building work to form the hole required fopr them an then fill in at the sides etc)?
Thanks for any advice - I know I should be getting a d-g salesman ou to quote etc but I'm a bit wary of doing this before I have at least wee bit of an idea what I want.
Thnaks again
