UPVC double glazing across Reading and the Thames Valley
Reading’s Victorian terraces around Newtown and Katesgrove, its interwar semis in Caversham, Tilehurst and Earley, and its 1990s-onwards riverside apartments across the Kennet corridor make the town one of the busier Thames Valley window markets. Legacy Windows matches homeowners with FENSA or CERTASS registered installers who quote a fixed supply-and-fit price against the same brief.
Why locals in Reading choose Legacy Windows
- Typical 2026 pricing sits between £505 and £1,010 per casement supplied and fitted, adjusted for Reading’s above-average Thames Valley trade rates.
- All matched fitters carry FENSA or CERTASS accreditation, so the Building Regulations notice and certificate arrive without a separate application.
- Every unit is specified to Part L 2022 at a whole-window Uw of 1.4 W/m2K or better with warm-edge argon-filled 28 mm double glazed units.
- Part F trickle vents are included where required, which is nearly every retrofit in Reading’s terrace and semi stock.
- Three like-for-like written quotes inside a working week, no cold calls or six-hour showroom sits.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need permission for UPVC in Caversham or central Reading? Reading has thirteen conservation areas including Caversham and pockets of the town centre. UPVC on rear elevations is usually fine, but street-facing frontages in the conservation zones often require timber or a slim aluminium equivalent. Article 4 directions on parts of Caversham remove permitted development rights, so a call to Reading Borough Council planning is worth the time.
Does the Thames flood risk affect the install? Not the glazing itself. Homes in RG1 and RG4 within the Environment Agency Flood Zone 2 or 3 may benefit from flood-resistant threshold detailing on ground-floor windows, and our matched fitters can price this in.
Is the FENSA certificate valid for a house sale? Yes. Solicitors accept it as proof of Building Regulations compliance and it typically arrives within thirty days of the install.
