Home exterior planning · UK

See your house. See the price.

Start with one photo of the front. Try new windows, doors, roofline, walls and more on your actual home.

Free · No measuring · No sales call

Your original photo isn’t stored. See how your photo is used

Your photo goes to the AI services that find the windows, doors, roof and walls and draw the new look. Once your picture has been made, the photo is deleted. It is never published, sold, or used to train anybody’s AI. We keep the picture we make for you, your choices, and — for seven days — a fingerprint of the photo with its measurements, so the same photo always gives you the same price. Full privacy notice

Your estimate is based on your home and your choices — not how well you negotiate.

Two neighbours can buy the same windows and pay thousands apart, because one of them sat in the room longer on a Wednesday evening. Priced from the photograph, the number does not move on how hard you are willing to push.

Real homes

Real homes. Real work. No showroom.

Photographs, not renders

Three UK homes, photographed from the same spot before and after. Nothing retouched — drag across any picture to see how it started. These are window and door jobs; we price the walls, roofline and roof on the same photo, and those before-and-afters go up here as they finish.

Every picture here is a photograph of a real house, before and after — not a render, and not a showroom.

That could be your house.

How it works

Four steps, start to finish, without anybody coming to your house.

  1. Upload your home

    Start with one picture of the front of your house, taken from the pavement. We price what the photo shows, then ask about the back and sides — tell us, or add a second photo. No measuring, no visit.

  2. We read your home

    We find your windows, your front door, the roof and the roofline, and show you what we found so you can tell us if we have it wrong.

  3. Try different looks

    Windows, doors, walls, roof and roofline — try them on your own house and watch the price move with every choice.

  4. See the likely cost

    An itemised planning estimate, before you decide whether you want to speak to an installer at all.

Five home improvements. Start with one photo of the front.

Windows, doors, walls, roofline and roof — priced together. The back and sides come next: add a second photo or tell us.

Every figure here is a planning estimate, not a quotation. It arrives as a range because a photograph cannot see hidden defects, access or exact measurements — an installer confirms those on survey, and that is when a price becomes a quote.

Questions homeowners ask

Will someone call me?

Not unless you ask to be contacted. You can upload a photo, design your whole exterior and read the estimate without giving us a name, a number or an email. If you do want quotes, you choose when — and at most three installers ever receive your details.

How much do new windows cost in the UK?

It depends on how many windows you're replacing, how big they are and the style you choose. Facet Pro prices yours the way an installer would: each window by its size and style, the door by the leaf, plus access for anything upstairs, taking the old frames away, and VAT at 20%. You see every line.

  • Windows and doors: what these jobs actually sell for, from 24 years of selling them, checked against current UK prices.
  • Walls, roof and roofline: UK material and labour rates, with scaffolding, waste and VAT.
  • Every figure: a planning estimate, shown as a range, confirmed by your installer’s survey.

Do I need to measure my house first?

No. Start with a clear photo of the front of your home — Facet Pro uses the visible features and proportions in it to size the job. If anything looks wrong, correct it with one tap and the estimate updates.

Will you change my window frames in the picture?

Yes. Pick a style and a frame colour and the after picture is generated from your own photo — keeping your home's perspective, lighting and shadows, and showing the frames and door you chose where it can. Nothing is added, removed or resized. It's a realistic guide to help you choose, not a guarantee of the finished installation — and if the picture hasn't changed something you asked for, your estimate still prices what you chose.

What happens to my photo?

Your original photograph is never saved. It goes to the AI services that find the parts of your home and generate the picture, and it is not kept, published, sold, or used to train anybody's models. What we do keep: the picture we generate for you, the choices you made, and a fingerprint of your photo with the measurements taken from it — the fingerprint for seven days, so the same photo always gives you the same estimate. Full detail is in the privacy notice.

How long does it take?

Finding the windows, doors, roof and cladding takes about half a minute. Colour changes and prices update instantly. A full photorealistic render of your home can take up to a minute.

Can I still price cladding, render or a new roof?

Yes — that is rather the point. Windows, doors, walls, roofline and roof all start from the photo you already uploaded. The front is measured from it; the back is a second photo or a number you give us; and anything still unseen, like the roof, is clearly marked as an estimate. Most people start with the windows and add the rest once they can see what the whole job comes to. Conservatories are the exception: we show guide ranges by style to help you compare, because a conservatory's price turns on size, glazing, groundworks and access rather than on anything a photograph of the front can tell us.

Does Facet Pro do the work?

No. Facet Pro creates the design and the estimate. If you ask for quotes, it goes to installers who arrange a survey and quote properly. There is no obligation to go ahead.

Why two neighbours pay thousands apart What the estimate protects you from

The pricing problem

Two neighbours. Same street.
Same windows. Thousands apart.

Two similar homes can end up paying very different prices for similar work. Sometimes that is timing. Sometimes it is negotiation. Mostly it is how the sales process unfolds — and none of it is anything to do with the windows.

Facet Pro was built by somebody who sold these jobs out of people’s front rooms for twenty-four years. Long enough to know what the work really costs, and how often two similar houses end up paying very different amounts for it. This puts that in the homeowner’s hands before the sales process starts.

The same house gets
the same starting point.

Priced from the photograph. The number does not move on how long you are willing to sit there, how hard you push, or what day of the week it is.

It is why your estimate is a range rather than one number. Companies charge different prices for the same job: the lower figure is what a keen installer typically charges, and the higher figure is what others charge for exactly the same windows.

What your estimate actually includes Materials, labour, access, waste, VAT

See what’s behind the number

Most online calculators give you one number and leave you guessing what it includes. Facet Pro breaks the estimate down — materials, labour, access, waste and VAT — so you can see what the project should actually cost.

Cladding

Material and the labour to fit it, priced per square metre.

Roof

Tiles or slate plus fitting, sized from your roof area.

Fascia, soffit & guttering

Priced by the metre of roofline, materials and labour.

Scaffolding

The bit that surprises people. It's in your figure from the start.

Waste allowance

Offcuts and breakages, so the number holds up on site.

VAT at 20%

Shown separately, never hidden in the headline price.

What can change your final price?

Facet Pro gives you a planning estimate, not a fixed contract quote. The final price can change after a survey, because of things a photograph cannot always show:

  • • The condition of the property
  • • Access and installation requirements
  • • Hidden or unexpected work
  • • Final measurements — we are still calibrating how we size a house from a photograph against surveyed properties
  • • Your final product specification

That is why we show a realistic range rather than pretending one number is guaranteed. If a figure looks wrong for your home, tell us when you save your design.

What a photo of the front can and can’t tell us Detection, measurement and where it is still being calibrated

Accuracy

What a photo of the front can and can’t tell us

A photo contains more information than you might think. Facet Pro uses visible features, proportions and familiar dimensions to build an initial understanding of your home’s exterior — a standard UK front door is very close to 1.98 m, and it is in almost every photograph of a British home, so it gives us the scale of everything around it. Where more detail is needed, you can check or correct it before your estimate is calculated.

Scale from the door

A UK front door is a known height. The elevation is measured against it — no reference object, no tape measure, no visit.

Only what it can see

A photo of the front shows the front. We measure that. For the back and sides you can add a second photo or just tell us the number, and we price those windows at typical sizes. Anything left — the rest of the walls, the roof — is labelled an estimate for your house type.

Stated uncertainty

Every estimate carries a range and says which method produced it. A number without its error bars is a guess.

Your original photograph isn’t saved — we keep the image we generate, not your photograph. What happens to your photo.

See your house. See the likely cost. Then decide what to do next.
