uPVC windows in Birmingham: approvals and local details

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 Birmingham, building control is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Flats, listed buildings and homes covered by an Article 4 direction may need consent before windows are changed.
Each window is replaced and sealed before the next one is removed, so no room is left open overnight.
You should receive a building regulations certificate for new windows, which a buyer's solicitor will ask to see.

Which option fits your home?

Casement windows

The standard side-hung or top-hung window found in most UK homes. Casements are the simplest and cheapest to make, open wide for airing and cleaning, and can be set up as fire escape windows on upper floors. They come in white, colours and woodgrain finishes, with chamfered or sculptured frame profiles to suit the age of the house.

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.

uPVC windows in Birmingham: common questions

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 Birmingham?

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.

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.

Who approves uPVC windows in Birmingham?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Birmingham is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
