I'm hopefully moving to a house (about 90 yrs old) with the original single glazed windows.
They are in good condition and the wood is sound, apart from one one.
I'd like to replace the glass panes myself with double glazed units designed for retrofitting. According to the manufacturers website / YouTube channel they'll fit. They have a u value of 1.9.
I'd prefer this over upvc for various style reasons, although mainly budget! I've enough skill to do this as an ongoing diy job. And, there's a lot of them to do.
Anyhow:
I'm unclear if this is something I'd need building control to get involved with? I think so to get it signed off/fensa type certificate?
Has anyone experience doing this? Pitfalls to be aware of?
The windows aren't sash, rather opening casement style.
Thank
