What windows actually cost — by your town
We pulled the full DCLG Energy Performance Certificate dataset and the ONS glass-product price index, then asked the awkward questions. What does a Birmingham terraced sash actually fetch?

Estimate my window cost →318 English & Welsh local authorities, coloured by their largest single property-era bucket from 23,130,105 EPCs. Boundaries: ONS BUC Dec-2024, OGL v3.

Six questions. Real numbers from ONS labour indices and UK supplier quotes, refreshed monthly. The price shows before any email field.
