Which option fits your home?
Flush sash casements
A casement where the opening sash sits level with the outer frame instead of overlapping it, copying the look of traditional timber joinery. Flush frames cost more than standard casements but suit period terraces and cottages well, especially in heritage colours with traditional-style hinges and monkey-tail or pear-drop handles.
Bay and bow windows
Bays are three or more windows set at angles; bows are a gentle curve of four or five. Replacement bays are built with structural bay poles or posts so the window doesn't carry the load of the brickwork or roof above. We check whether the existing bay is load-bearing before quoting, because that changes how it's supported during the swap.

What guarantee comes with new windows?
Frames, glass and hardware are covered by the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms for your specific windows are set out in your quote. Ask what's covered for sealed units misting up, hinges and locks, as these differ between suppliers. Keep the guarantee paperwork with your building regulations certificate, because both are useful when you come to sell.
How do I book a survey in Aston?
Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your new windows and arrange a time to visit.
Will fitting new windows make a mess?
There's some dust when old frames come out, mainly around each opening, so we sheet floors and cover furniture near every window. Each window is removed, replaced and sealed before the next one starts, so rooms aren't left open to the weather. Plaster at the reveal can sometimes crack; minor making good is included, and anything larger is discussed before we do it.
Who approves uPVC windows in Aston?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Aston is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
