Rented property - Replacement windows

I have a rented property, let for the past 3 years and in this Tax year (2009/10) have installed replacemnt windows and main door. Is the cost of this allowable against income or capital?
The property was main main residence for 9 years and is now coming to the end of the 3rd year of renting. Income Tax is minimal for me at the moment. I will probably sell the property in the next 1 - 3 years.
Many Thanks
Alan

Thanks Fire Fox for the prompt response.
I think the answer depends on perspective of which the IR is the important one!
The old (1920ish) property had wood casement windows which I have replaced with PVC equivalent. They were a necessary replacement. I think they are an improvement because they are new, tradionalists may consider otherwise!
Hope that makes sense.
