Windows and doors: every service

Hiring a window fitter in Ireland

New windows and doors are made to measure, so the job is a survey, an order with a lead time of several weeks, then a day or two of fitting. Repairs — misted units, broken handles, locks that will not turn — are usually same-week work.

Window and door upgrades can be part of an SEAI-supported energy upgrade, which changes who you can hire: the contractor must be on SEAI’s register.

What the work usually involves

  • Replacing windows and patio doors
  • Front and back doors
  • Misted or broken double-glazed units
  • Locks, handles and hinges

What to put in your task

  • How many windows or doors, and roughly how big
  • The current frames: uPVC, timber or aluminium
  • Whether it is a repair or a replacement
  • Photos of each opening from inside and out

Windows and doors: rules and grants in Ireland

Grants

SEAI lists grants of up to €4,000 for windows and up to €1,600 for doors as part of its home energy upgrade grants.

  • Check eligibility on SEAI’s grant pages before ordering: grants apply to specific schemes and house ages.
  • Use a contractor on SEAI’s register and get grant approval before any work starts — work begun before approval is not grant-aided.
  • The grant must be drawn down within eight months of the offer, and a BER by a registered assessor after the works is required (SEAI contributes €50 towards it).

What window and door fitters cost, and why

What jobs on Talqero came to

Not enough comparable jobs yet to publish a range here. Talqero shows a price range only once at least five comparable jobs, agreed prices or offers exist — a range from fewer would describe a handful of jobs, not the market. Post your job and compare the offers you get.

What affects the price

  • Number and size of openings
  • Material: uPVC, aluminium, timber or composite; double or triple glazing
  • Making good reveals, sills and plaster
  • Security hardware and glass specification
  • VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.

How long it usually takes

  • A misted unit: measured on one visit, fitted on a second.
  • Replacement windows: one to three days to fit, after a lead time of several weeks.

What to ask before you choose

  • What is the lead time from order to fitting?
  • What guarantee covers the units, the hardware and the fitting?
  • Who makes good the plaster and paint around the frames?
  • For a grant: are you on SEAI’s contractor register?
  • Is VAT included?

Questions about hiring a window fitter

Is there a grant for windows and doors work?

SEAI lists grants of up to €4,000 for windows and up to €1,600 for doors as part of its home energy upgrade grants.

How long does windows and doors work take?

A misted unit: measured on one visit, fitted on a second. Replacement windows: one to three days to fit, after a lead time of several weeks.

Can misted double glazing be fixed without new windows?

Often the sealed unit can be replaced on its own. Say in your task that the frames are sound and ask for that option.

Do I need exact measurements?

Rough sizes are enough to get offers. The fitter you choose measures properly before ordering.

Does Talqero take a deposit?

No money passes through Talqero. Any deposit is agreed between you and the fitter, in writing.
