Planning your new windows in Bewdley
This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Bewdley, building control is provided by Wyre Forest District Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).
- Each window is replaced and sealed before the next one is removed, so no room is left open overnight.
- If your old windows have trickle vents, the new ones must have vents at least as large.
- Bay windows often carry weight from above, so the structure is checked before the old frames come out.

Which option fits your home?
Vertical sliding sash windows
uPVC sliding sashes reproduce the look of Victorian and Edwardian box sashes without the rattles, draughts and repainting. They use spiral balances instead of weights, tilt inwards for cleaning and can include decorative horns and astragal bars. They cost noticeably more than casements but keep the character of a period front.
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.

Before you book in Bewdley
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.
Which postcodes in Bewdley do you work in?
We cover DY12 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Bewdley, neighbouring Stourport-on-Severn and Kidderminster are covered too.
How long does it take to replace the windows in a house?
Fitting usually takes one to two days for a typical house, working one opening at a time. The longer wait is manufacture: frames are made to measure after the survey, which normally takes four to six weeks. Bay windows or a large number of frames can add an extra day on site.
Will I need permission from the council in Bewdley?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Bewdley is provided by Wyre Forest District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
