Before your new windows in Bilston

Your quote shows how each part is signed off. If planning does come into it, say for a listed building, City of Wolverhampton Council is the authority.

Options to consider in Bilston
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.
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.

Before you book in Bilston
What do I need to do before fitting day?
Clear window sills and move furniture, ornaments and curtains about a metre back from each window. Take down blinds and curtain poles if they're fixed to the frame or reveal. Make sure there's parking or space for the van and frames, and tell us about alarms with sensors on the windows so they can be refitted.
How do I book a survey in Bilston?
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 Bilston?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Bilston is provided by City of Wolverhampton Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
