Double Glazing Costs by UK Region
Where you live can move the price by a quarter. London is the dearest, the North West the better value, and Birmingham sits bang on the average.
Window prices are not uniform across the country. Labour rates, access and parking costs, and how many installers compete for your job all vary by region. Using the national figures in our costs hub as the baseline, the city pages below show how much higher or lower you should expect to pay.
If your region is not listed yet, Birmingham is the closest stand in for a typical UK price, because it tracks the national average almost exactly. To turn any of these into a real figure for your home, run the uPVC window calculator and adjust by the regional percentage.
London Double Glazing Costs
The most expensive region in the UK. Higher labour rates, parking and access charges, and a high density of conservation areas all push prices up.
Manchester Double Glazing Costs
Below the national average thanks to strong installer competition across Greater Manchester. One of the better-value city markets.
Birmingham Double Glazing Costs
Sits almost exactly on the UK average, which makes Birmingham a useful national benchmark for window prices.
Cardiff Double Glazing Costs
Wales is the cheapest region in the 2026 modelled data, around 13% below the UK average. Cardiff is the largest market in that region.
Liverpool Double Glazing Costs
Shares the North West adjustment with Manchester, around 7% below the UK average, helped by a dense and competitive installer market.
Nottingham Double Glazing Costs
The Midlands is the 0% baseline in the 2026 modelled data, so Nottingham prices track the national figures directly.
Edinburgh Double Glazing Costs
Scotland runs about 8% below the UK average, but Edinburgh's 50 conservation areas add roughly 8% back, leaving the city within 1% of the national figure.
Bristol Double Glazing Costs
The South West runs about 5% above the UK average. Bristol's Georgian core around Clifton puts a large share of the city into conservation-grade timber or slim-profile aluminium, which costs two to three times standard uPVC.
Newcastle Double Glazing Costs
The North East is the cheapest English region in the 2026 modelled data, around 9% below the UK average, and Newcastle is its largest market.
Brighton Double Glazing Costs
The South East is the second most expensive region in the 2026 modelled data, around 15% above the UK average and behind only London.
Glasgow Double Glazing Costs
Scotland runs about 8% below the UK average, and Glasgow sits on that regional baseline rather than carrying Edinburgh's conservation-driven premium.
Why prices differ by region
The biggest driver is labour. A fitter in London charges more per day than one in Manchester, and dense urban areas add parking, access and conservation-area complications that push the bill up. Where many firms compete, as around Greater Manchester, prices fall. Wherever you are, the advice in how to avoid being overcharged applies: get at least three written quotes and compare like for like. Birmingham is the cleanest yardstick for what a fair national price looks like.
