Supply and fix costs from Nicola Sharkey, UK insights and research lead, and James Garner, global head of data and insights and analytics at Gleeds
Research from the Energy Saving Trust states that 21% of the UK’s total carbon emissions come from housing. More than 80% of homes that will be lived in by 2050 are already built, and most of these require upgrades to achieve required energy standards — there is a major retrofit challenge ahead.
Meanwhile, in the commercial sector, the government has set a target to incrementally raise the minimum energy efficiency standard to let, non-domestic, buildings to Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating B by 1 April 2030.
Retrofitting double glazing will play a key part in achieving net zero targets. It is also becoming more commonplace, particularly when targeting Passivhaus standards.
Key considerations during specification are thermal efficiency (U-value), solar gain (G-value) and air leakage (L value). Acoustic performance and aesthetics are also important.
The following rates include the supply and hang of doors and windows, complete with all frames, architrave, typical medium standard ironmongery set and appropriate finish.
Rates are based on the UK average and represent typical prices at 1Q 2023. Please note that prices can vary significantly depending on specifications.
