Heathrow
Heathrow's insulation scheme near Longford and the airport villages
Heathrow started its Residential Insulation Scheme in Longford, with a pilot for "approximately 100 residents" from February 2024. Heathrow told Hillingdon Council it chose to "prioritise Longford as the area to conduct the first pilot implementation of the scheme in 2024".
- Now: "Registration is now open to all eligible properties", and "Phase one will commence from 2025 to 2028".
- Progress: in December 2025 Heathrow's prioritisation panel recorded that "The Longford pilot area is nearing successful closure" and that "RIS Phase 1 registrations are steadily increasing".
- The rule: "All works will be funded by Heathrow on a like for like basis", after a survey of your home.
A second set of measures is not in place yet. On 16 December 2025 Hillingdon's Planning Committee agreed to grant Heathrow's easterly alternation application (ref. 41573/APP/2024/2838), subject to a Section 106 agreement covering "noise protection to impacted homes and schools" and noise in Longford. The council says that agreement "is currently being considered by both parties".
Check Heathrow's postcode checker before you pay for windows. Ask installers to price like-for-like windows and any acoustic glass on separate lines while you wait for an answer.

Landlords
Hillingdon landlord grants: three quotes for double glazing
Hillingdon landlords can get grant funding for "energy efficient double glazing" in return for council nomination rights, and the council asks for three quotes. Its landlord guidance states: "Grants will require 3 quotes and will be match funded up to a certain limit."
The council adds that "the position can change rapidly", so confirm the grant is open before the survey. 25.9% of Hillingdon households rent privately (Census 2021), and private landlords must reach EPC band C on every tenancy by 1 October 2030 (DESNZ, January 2026).
- Contact the council about the grant and nomination rights.
- Collect three written quotes for the same windows, each with the U-value or Window Energy Rating.
- Keep the quotes for the grant file and for the next EPC.

Hillingdon homes
Replacement windows for Uxbridge, Ruislip and Hayes semis
Hillingdon window quotes are mostly for houses: 68.9% of households live in one, and houses outnumber flats more than two to one. EPC ratings for the borough's older homes sit well below the London figure.
| Measure | Hillingdon | London |
|---|---|---|
| Households in a house | 68.9% | 45.9% |
| Households in a semi-detached house | 35.1% | 18.6% |
| Properties built 1919 to 1939 | 36.8% | 22.2% |
| Properties built 1945 to 1972 | 25.3% | 16.9% |
| EPC band C or above, homes built 1930 to 1982 | 35.1% | 45.2% |
| EPC band C or above, homes built before 1929 | 17.2% | 32.5% |
- Front bays: ask for each bay as its own line and whether the price includes support at the bay head.
- Post-war houses: 25.3% of properties date from 1945 to 1972; ask for one frame style and colour across the whole house.
- Ratings: ask for the U-value or Window Energy Rating of every window, because only 17.2% of Hillingdon's pre-1929 homes reach band C.

Planning
Do you need planning permission for new windows in Hillingdon?
No Hillingdon Article 4 direction covers windows. The council's five directions deal with small HMOs, commercial to residential changes, new homes in employment areas, strategic employment land and large rear extensions.
Three local exceptions come from the council's own guidance:
- The Glen, Northwood: "As The Glen comprises blocks of maisonettes, planning permission is required for all forms of development", including "replacement windows and doors".
- Eastcote Park Estate: "replacement windows cannot normally be controlled through the planning process", but residents "are urged to consider replacement windows that replicate the originals in both materials and design".
- Listed buildings: the council warns that "It's a criminal offence to carry out works to a listed building without first obtaining consent from the council".
Hillingdon has 31 conservation areas, from Ruislip Village and Harefield Village to Hayes Village and West Drayton Green. For flats and the general rules, use the planning permission for windows checker, and our guide to replacing windows in a leasehold flat covers freeholder consent.
Repair or replace?
Repair or replace your Uxbridge windows?
Repair an Uxbridge window when the frame is sound, and replace the set when frames have failed across the house. One survey can price both.
| What you see | Route | Ask the installer |
|---|---|---|
| One misted pane | New sealed unit | The guarantee on the unit |
| Handles, hinges or locks failing | Hardware repair | A fixed price for parts and labour |
| Several frames warped or draughty | Whole-house replacement | One specification for every window |
| Home near Heathrow, frames still sound | Check the scheme before replacing | A quote you can hold until the survey |
Our page on window replacement in London sets out both routes in detail.

Before you sign
How to check an Uxbridge double glazing company
Check an Uxbridge firm on a register, on Companies House and on its guarantee before it visits. The London Trading Standards leaflet that Hillingdon Council links to warns that "there are more cold callers offering insulation, double glazing, solar panels and heat pumps".
- Look the firm up on the FENSA or CERTASS register.
- Confirm the company on the quote is active on Companies House.
- Ask for an itemised quote: window by window, with bays and any making good listed.
- Get the insurance-backed guarantee in writing, with the insurer's name.
If you sign at home, you usually have at least 14 days to cancel, but made-to-measure windows can be an exception, so check the contract before you sign. The double glazing cooling off period guide explains it, and our page on double glazing installers lists the checks in full.

FAQ
Double glazing in Uxbridge: questions answered
Is there a government grant for double glazed windows?
Hillingdon homes have two routes: Heathrow's insulation scheme funds like-for-like windows in eligible homes near the airport, and the council's landlord grant lists double glazing. London-wide schemes are on our page for double glazing quotes in London.
Is Uxbridge in Heathrow's insulation scheme?
Heathrow's postcode checker answers that for each Uxbridge address; the scheme began with a pilot in Longford, beside the airport, in February 2024.
Do I need planning permission to replace windows in Ruislip or Eastcote?
A Ruislip or Eastcote house needs no Article 4 permission for new windows, because no Hillingdon direction covers windows; flats and listed buildings follow stricter rules.
What is the best time of year to buy double glazing?
The best time in Uxbridge is after any Heathrow survey or landlord grant decision, so you do not pay for windows that could be funded. Our guide to the best time of year to buy double glazing covers seasons and lead times.
Is it worth replacing 20 year old double glazing?
Replacing 20 year old double glazing in a Hillingdon semi is worth it when several frames have warped or leak; a single misted pane in a sound frame needs only a new sealed unit.
What is the average price of double glazing?
The average hides the window count, bays and frame material, so compare itemised quotes and see what double glazing costs in London on our sister site.
