How much does it cost to replace timber windows with aluminium?

Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to know how much replacing timber windows with aluminium would cost in your particular situation.

If you have undamaged window casing within which replacement windows could be fitted, you will save money on your window replacement. However, if the entire window structure needs to be removed, and perhaps the window opening widened, your costs will significantly increase.

Aluminium is a cheaper replacement than timber, though not by a lot. If you require extra thermal insulation like triple glazing, your costs will also rise.
It is important to consider the fact that aluminium windows don’t need as much care and maintenance as timber windows do. Think about how much maintenance you want to be doing, and whether you value a period aesthetic. If you don’t mind doing the work to maintain wood and prefer the way it looks, perhaps the extra cost will be worth it.
